After the finish to the season that we've had it's good to remember what a real football disaster looks like

Do not open if easily distressed

The on pitch death of Serginiho

in fairness what has football disasters got to to do with us having a shit end of season

yeah...you can add Foe's death to that too, plus the Scottish player this season ( i do not know his name) , plus the mass crushes in Africa a few years ago, and Ibrox 1971 and sadly many more

and on a slightly less traumatic angle

any of us who supported Arsenal before Wenger came, had many years of less than sparkling football, and mid table finishes.

3rd in league is not a disaster

I'm not trying to make a point, just been trawling through YouTube on a slow bank holiday and found these clips.

But it's worth noting - things could be a lot worse.

There is a lot worse
Than not finishing first
Hillsborough was a real disaster
Not Flamini leaving for the land of pasta
Though you get the feeling this side might be cursed
