Arsenal fans pronounce their season dead as they are knocked out of FA Cup by Watford

It was business as usual at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal continued their ongoing collapse as they fell to a 2-1 defeat by Watford, putting an end to their quest to become the first team to win three consecutive FA Cups since the 1880s.

But then Danny Welbeck came on to give Gooners hope with a goal, only to take it all away again by squandering a perfect chance to equalise...

But Arsenal fans knew just who to blame...
