Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas join Ian Stone to discuss the latest calamitous result from the weekend as Arsenal were thrashed 5-0 by Manchester City. And on the 10 year anniversary of the 8-2, just to rub salt into the wound even further.
But all hope is not yet lost, there's still one member of the team who believes that a top six finish is possible, that there's reason for hope come the NLD, but one thing we can all agree on is the need for some gallows humour at this time.
