It’s been a turgid season for Arsenal, but they reached a nadir on Sunday as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of north London rivals Tottenham.
’Spurs have nothing on Arsenal’
The loss means that Spurs will finish ahead of the Gunners for the first time since 1995.
Arsene Wenger’s side tried to make amends by sending a tweet to their supporters, but it seems to have backfired spectacularly.
We know it hurts. But we wanted to thank you for your support at #THFCvAFC pic.twitter.com/Jsy7uayx7v

Most fans were furious.
@Arsenal An apology does nothing, do your job the right way then you won't need to apologize #COYG

Some were simply resigned after a turgid campaign.
@Arsenal Can we just forfeit our last 5 games and start next season?
