Tears for Piers: The West Bromwich Albion edition

Piers Morgan is a very polarizing figure. He’s a very opinionated person and really doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him. To be honest, I can kind of respect him for that. But a lot of times, Piers Morgan can be irritating, especially irritating when he’s talking about his beloved Arsenal Football Club.

It’s not that I don’t like Piers Morgan because he’s an Arsenal fan, I don’t like Piers Morgan because he represents a modern day type of sports fan that I don’t particularly care for. The kind of fan who demands instant gratification and loves or hates the players and the manager based on the last result. I can’t remember how many times Morgan went from calling Arsene Wenger a genius to calling him an idiot. I mean, geez Piers, it could be worse. You could be a Chelsea fan.

Anyway, after Arsenal’s loss to West Brom today, I checked Piers Morgan’s Twitter feed to have a little bit of schadenfreude. I thought that it would be a good idea to post his story on here for others to enjoy. Don’t be mistaken, I don’t hate Arsenal or are rooting against them or anything, I just like to see Piers Morgan upset and that kind of means Arsenal has to at least struggle and probably lose. Here’s a sampling of the “Tears for Piers” timeline in chronological order.

Let’s see what Piers will say if Arsenal wins the EPL title this season. I’m sure it won’t be any of that. Yes, Arsenal lost but don’t act like the sky is falling yet Chicken Little. They still have a great shot at the title. Every Arsenal season can’t be like the “Invincibles.” Everyone has to lose once in a while.
