Arsenal Hell Month: A Retrospective

We've had much to say about "Arsenal Hell Month," a coincidence of difficult fixtures for the Gunners where they played an FA Cup tie on the road, then played Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool consecutively.

Perhaps as expected, like any good Gooners, our lives have mirrored Arsenal's performance on the pitch as of late. As such, we give you this retrospective of Arsenal Hell Month, from the lives of the Hipster Gooners:
  • Stoke City 3 - 1 Arsenal
  • John goes on a date with a girl he met dancing. It ends awkwardly.
  • Max crashes his car.
  • Aston Villa 0 - 0 Arsenal
  • Max is scolded at work. Three different times at three different jobs.
  • Casey's dating flatmates break up, making life at home really awkward.
  • Arsenal 1 - 3 Manchester United
  • Casey's new, expensive, cream-colored coat somehow gets wet black marks all over it.
  • John helps Max move. John drops a broken chair on his foot in freezing weather.
  • Max essentially goes a week without being able to sleep.
  • John gets bronchitis and a 103 degree fever.
  • Max goes to traffic court and not only loses, but is given the full fine.
  • Casey gets stuck in traffic outside of White Hart Lane, of all fucking places.
  • Casey gets a nasty email from her former flatmate saying that she didn't scrub the house well enough before moving, despite cleaning the whole house before moving.
  • Casey gets harassed by drunk Englishmen while waiting for Jack to get off work.
  • Chelsea 2 - 0 Arsenal
  • London endures a very very cold snap.
  • Max falls asleep twice on a subway ride home, missing his stop in two different directions.
  • New York gets pounded with a snow storm.
  • Arsenal 1 - 0 Liverpool (!)
