It's a grim time to be an Arsenal fan, but this might give that furious grimace a tinge of a smile.
Arsenal have barely any time to dissect what went wrong in their midweek 2-1 defeat to Watford at the Emirates as they turn their attention to league leaders Chelsea. They face their London rivals at Stamford Bridge at the 12:30 kick-off on Sunday.
After that, it doesn't get much better for the Gunners as they'll have that huge Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich swirling around in the back of their minds.
So, February is either going to be the month that Arsenal turned it all around and proved the doubters wrong, or it will be the same old story we've seen from the side in recent years, resulting in abject despair among their fans.

It was difficult to tell whether he was making a genuine attempt to mimic Whitehall's voice, or if he was auditioning for the role of a soul-sucking demon in the next James Wan movie.
