Worst Houseguest

Write about the worst houseguest you’ve ever had.

Certainly we have had that but we never talked about it when the fucker was alive. My parents just accepted it and tolerated it. It was a relative of ours, the man who was married to one of my aunts.

And here is the thing, he was a lousy relative. He went to prostitutes, he drank at times like a fish and said the shittiest things about some other people. He was petty and he was a saddistic son of a bitch. But he was tolerated. At times he was fun so when we were kids we liked him. As I grew up, I realized what a bastard he was.

He stole – he fucking stole from us. He even stole a chain that was my young nephew’s and his wife had to get it back to my mom. What a loser! I am glad he is dead.

Atletico Madrid 1 Arsenal 0

Manager Arsene Wenger will not be given a last chance to lift silverware with Arsenal after they were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semi-final. With the score 1-1 from the first leg, former Chelsea striker Diego Costa returned to the Atletico side to haunt the Gunners again and it was his composed chip on the brink of half-time which ended their European hopes. Antoine Griezmann slipped the crucial pass through to Costa after coming close with a powerful strike from a tight angle. Arsenal were crestfallen going into the break but almost responded within minutes of the restart when Aaron Ramsey found himself through on goal. His touch let him down and the chance was wasted – as were a number of opportunities for the visitors throughout the second half.

A bad night was made worse for Arsenal when captain Laurent Koscielny was carried off with an Achilles injury, which may rule the Frenchman out of this summer’s World Cup. Two-time champions Atletico will now face Marseille in their third Europa League final in eight years in Lyon on 16 May. Defeat for Arsenal means they will miss out on Champions League football for the second straight season. Wenger, who will leave the Gunners at the end of the season after 22 years in charge, has never won a European trophy with the club. There was a sense of inevitability when Costa’s chipped effort hit the back of the net.

But Arsenal were ultimately made to suffer for their missed chances and conceding a late away goal in the first leg, having played against 10 men for 80 minutes at the Emirates and only scoring once from 28 shots in a game they totally dominated. In Madrid, Alexandre Lacazette hesitated when he was played in by Aaron Ramsey in the first half and Monreal’s poor control let him down shortly afterwards. Granit Xhaka’s long-range effort was palmed away by Jan Oblak and Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s volley skimmed the top netting. Diego Godin blocked everything that came his way, as Mesut Ozil, Ramsey and Hector Bellerin failed to find a breakthrough from wide positions. Wenger will end his Arsenal tenure at Huddersfield in the final league game of the season on 13 May.
