My Hopes (28 August 2012 – 31 August 2012) were up a bit for this season. Thought "Wenger must bring in some top quality now". Was bitterly let down. Hopes died violently in a rage of alcohol and vomit. His partner "Ambition" committed suicide soon after.

I had a remarkably similar experience a few years ago and just havent been the same since.
