We will be called bottlers until we win big trophies and that will be the narrative until then. We as a fanbase need to get used to that and stop being so reactionary on every idiot pundit opinion out there.
But just for the record we are indeed bottlers so far in Arteta's tenure. I love this team and back him as a manager, but it's a fact.
22/23 we were on top for 90% of the time and threw the league in the end after 3 horrible results
23/24 we bottled the league against Arteta's kryptonite, Aston Villa and Emery.
Idk man I just can't call 22/23 a bottle job given how young and inexperienced the squad was. Losing Saliba AND Tomi when we did was a hammer blow too. I meant giving it Rob Holding till the rest of the bloody season ffs.
23/24 as well - we went 16-1-1, how is that a bottle job? At no point did we ever have any large lead at the top of the table.
