As a Tottenham fan, you must keep expectations before the season start in check. I don’t think majority of fans expected Arsenal to finish in top 2 in the league this season. Arsenal played well above their expectations and because of that, Arsenal haven’t bottled anything. They just overachieved this season.
@@tonygreen6185But all arsenal fabs were bragging you would win the league. Massive egg on your fan base.. Perennial underachievers. It's only Arsenal lads!!
@@jacklegros6614they went mental at anyone who didn’t think they could win the league whilst also playing down their chances of winning the league, they wanted to have it both ways but when you too tue table for so long it’s a bottle job to not win it, it wasn’t lost tonight it was lost in the previous 3 games.
They didn’t overachieve. If they finish second it’s exactly where they should be. They played wonderful football this year but their score against City is 2-7. Well that’s that. I too am a bloody Spurs fan
It was a tough watch last night but it wasn't a surprise. Unfortunately they showed us just how good they are and how far we've still got to come. And make no mistake, City were absolutely amazing last night. Totally blew us out the water. It wasn't even that we played *badly*, we just didn't play at all - we couldn't, they didn't allow us to. But we do have to remember the bigger picture. The only reason we Arsenal fans are so disappointed is because we actually started to believe in something. We saw a team with fight, grit, determination, talent. Playing as a team, for each other, for the manager, for the fans, and we believed. It was bloody beautiful. Two or three years ago, this result would hardly have even registered, it just would've just been another disappointing part of another disappointing season. That belief is something that has been missing for such a long time at our club. The banter years were hard because, deep down, we all knew that we were ripe for picking - our club so often seemed like a total joke, where no one truly wanted to be challenging and all were content with just trying to play attractive football and keep a healthy bank balance. For years, top 4 was our "trophy", and even when we continually missed out on that the alarm bells didn't seem to start ringing at our club. When we finally parted ways with Wenger, people were actually questioning if him leaving was the right call; if we'd be able to replace him successfully. Well I don't believe we're a banter club any more. Sure, we bottled the league in our last 4 matches (more so in the previous 3 than against City to be fair, it was always going to be bloody hard to get anything at the Etihad, but we would've had plenty of breathing space if we hadn't drawn 3 games we should've won), but the league was never the objective this season. Would it have been incredible to win it? Of course. And sure, it's technically not over yet, but I think we can all see where it's heading now. But let's remember where we were as a club just last year. We lost out on top 4 to Spurs. They got CL football at our expense, when it was in our hands. All the pundits, all the fans - everyone - expected Spurs to be the ones challenging the big guns this season - they could attract a higher calibre than us thanks to CL. Arsenal were done, it was all doom and gloom. Yet here we are now, the only team in the league that have pushed City. Sealed top 4 with ease, while Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea (!) have been struggling all season. Mikel has done an incredible job, and I thank him for bringing that belief back to our club. Let's keep fighting, improve our squad in the summer, and see where next season takes us. We go again! 💪 One last point, to those who will say that this season is now a disaster because the league was in our hands and we let it go: What did you think of the Southampton result? We were 3-1 down and salvaged a draw right at the death. Was that a good result? Or was it still terrible because, regardless of how it happened, we needed the win? Most people would say it was terrible because, at the end of the day, however the actual game panned out, our objective at the start of the match was to win the game, and we didn't. Well it's exactly the same thing for the season as a whole. The overall objective of the season takes precedence over the little details and the way that it pans out. The season's objective was top 4, just like that match's objective was a win. Sure, the fact that we were top for so long and let it slip away hurts, it does. But just like the way that we came back from 2 goals down to get a draw might add some talking points and create context yet doesn't change the fact that the match overall was a huge disappointment, similarly the way we lost out on the league after being top for so long adds context and, sure, a big dose of disappointment, but doesn't change the fact that the season overall is a big, big success. (Wow this got a lot longer than I'd anticipated 😂)
Mate, we were soft against Man City. It’s not that they didn’t allow us to play, it’s that there was hardly any fucking fight from the players except for Trossard when he came off the bench. Even Stevie Wonder could see that he needed to be started. The Man City defenders were shitting it whenever he got near their penalty area. I’m sorry but Arteta’s failed, Man City were not that special this season & were there for the taking…..he’s only gone & bottled it. You think the likes of Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, THEM & Newcastle (could even add Brighton & Villa too) will be weak next season? They’re all going to strengthen over summer & we will need to buckle up our ideas if we seriously want to think about challenging for league titles. Arteta needs to have the bottle to drop players who aren’t performing. Ever since the international break, Saka has been by far our worst player & needed dropping a few games ago. Put him on the bench to give him a reality check & keep him on his toes. With the exception of the game against Liverpool, Partey (as another example) has been terrible this month. Again, put him on the bench to let him know that his place is under threat unless he ups his game. P.S. Southampton at home was the final nail in the coffin for me. If we can’t beat them at home, we don’t deserve the title.
@@gunnerboy2975 I don't disagree with most of what you said. I just think that the bigger picture doesn't change just because you're viewing it through this lens. If we'd started the season badly, and the last 4 results had happened early on, and we'd then gone on to do really well afterwards and managed to climb our way to second place, we'd be getting all the plaudits now. Of course I totally understand that context is hugely important to the season, but my point is that the season's objective was completed and surpassed. You say that Man City were there for the taking, I don't think that's the case. If anyone thought it was our title already just because we were a few points ahead of City (after their games in hand), they were deluded. City are an absolutely phenomenal team. I have no problem coming second to them, given where we're at as a club. Before the season started I actually said that I thought we should be challenging for 3rd place - everyone thought I was mad. I thought City and Liverpool were way ahead of the rest, but that we should be up there with anyone else. So even by my high expectations (considering people wrote off our chance of even getting top 4) we have still gone above and beyond. (I also thought that United would struggle to get top 6 🤷♂️). But City were always capable of going on a 10, 15-game winning streak, without it even being a big deal. Whereas for us every game has been like a cup final - it was an enormous ask of this young group to win 10 cup finals on the bounce. Again, I do understand where you, and people who think like you, are coming from. The way we bottled it at the end is hugely frustrating, and so so disappointing. I agree that Arteta has got things wrong lately. But you guys seem to forget that Arteta is the reason we're here in the first place. The reason we're all so damn sad about how it went down is because Arteta took us to a place we haven't been in, what, over a decade? I'm sad, but I'm sad because I CARE, and I care because Arteta has made me care again. I used to be totally numb to it all. Now I feel again, and when you feel you open yourself up to bad feelings as well as good. But it's better than no feeling at all, which is where I was at for such a long time under the Wenger reign.
City paid 15 million for Akanji by the way , Alvarez cost us 18 million - Gundogan was 20 million , Sergio Gomez was 11 million - thats good scouting and recruitment
Today, I blasted off into space. Suddenly, the Getafeman appeared on the rocket ship! Penaldo showed us the geographic locations of Luxembourg, Lithuania and Armenia! I told him the ship is headed to Mars to retrieve his World Cup knockout goals, and he immediately ghosted! Shame on you, Penaldo!!
Saliba and Tomyasu injured at the same time is the reason, more than mentality. Arsenal's system completely relies on a strong passing backline. Arteta didn't adapt to the injuries, leaving Partey's single-pivot and Zinchenko at LB looking disastrous.
@@danielmann316 I dont think theyd have won vs City. However i dont think those leads would have been blown and i dont think we would have conceded 3 vs Southampton. Those were the games where we lost the league.
Oh here we go with excuses, well if you wanna play that card then all teams Assna have played this season been missing their key player(s). Not seeing you highlighting that too 😅
@@danielmann316 Let me answer that for you.They unlikely would have not won as earlier in the season they had those two players and lost.They played better had more than 60% but only had 1 shot on target as opposed to 6 for City,who were playing away from home.
Gary Neville called it: winning the title is hard to do. Arsenal didn’t bottle it, they met teams who matched them and they didn’t have that extra bit to get the win, but let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t bottling, what it is is a team that was overrrated. Simply, City are in a different league.
What depth? They've got maybe 3 players on the bench that Pep has any trust in at all. The rest never play unless the game is over and even then they barely play.
@Russell Ward No depth. Are you serious?just look at the centre backs in their squad Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake and Akanji. They would all get into most other Premier teams. The bench will normally have Alvarez - a World Cup winner, Phillips, then take your pick from Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, sometimes Walker. Plus one or two young, exciting talents. Arsenal had to play Rob Holding.
What has city squad depth has to do with Arsenal losing 6 points in last 3 games including the bottom relegation team? And how many competitions is Arsenal in that they need squad depth? And why did the bottled top 4 last season? Stop making lame excuses 🤫
@@senti2175 oh i dont know maybe the fact that they were absolutely knackered and apart from the first 11 you can't really point to anyone else that can make a huge difference.I just gave you an example that they could choose from 4 defenders...so tha make sno difference.Mahrez and bernardo silva where on the bench ffs!!Their second string can also win the PL.Maybe you lot should learn the difference between a developing sqaud and the finished article.
Last night wasn’t a bottle job, they were simply outclassed. Now Southampton and West Ham we’re definitely an example of bottling. Maybe even Liverpool given the 2 goal cushion. But bottling implies you were favoured and you lost, nah, one of the two best teams in the world just ran through you, that was how it was meant to go. They’ve beaten you twice already this year, 3-1 at their Emirates. That’s not bottling, that’s a consistent pattern of them being better. If I lost a boxing match to Tyson, did I bottle it, or did the better boxer just kick my ass…
@@Dave-nq6uy Man City are not just the best team in premier league, they’re one of the best teams in the world. I wouldn’t of been as disappointed if we left everything out there
@@Dave-nq6uy I’m not sugar coating, I’m being objective. I’m not an arsenal fan. The definition of bottling is when you are expected to do something but the pressure becomes too much. They bottled it their last 3 games, I acknowledged that. But how can they bottle it against city, when everyone expected them to get battered? The most predicted score line that everyone seemed to have was 3-1, which was pretty close. Sounds like these went according to plan to me. Tell me, If Norwich lose to Man City, have Norwich bottled it, or have the better team won? No one thought arsenal were winning, no one but don Robbie and Ty.
If there's one instance where Arsenal must wish they were Spurs it's going against City. Spurs are always beating them whereas Pep I think has a perfect win rate against Arsenal in the league since talking charge of City, City always have a field day against them & even when there's a title on the line. 😂🤦♂️
I read that during Guardiola’s tenure at Man City, his worst record against any team in the league is against that lot up the road. Don’t know what it is but Guardiola’s Man City always seem to be pocketed by THEM! My question is why?! 🙄🤔
City usually beat Spurs at the Etihad. We've not won at Tottenham's new stadium as yet, but we had a decent record against Spurs at Wembley and White Hart Lane in the years before they moved to their new stadium.
@@andrewlangsdale7445 I didn’t believe it either. If you add this season’s fixtures between you & THEM, I make it 6-2-6. 😐 He is obviously unaware of the “lads, it’s Tottenham” team talk.
The pressure told on Arsenal, as a Utd fan I feel sorry for the players but they've been fantastic. As for Piers? Couldn't be happier to hear him so disappointed, had a big dose of karma due.
I actually think arsenal have done well to get to this point but I think city are a far superior side! Arsenal have relied this season on the whole team playing at 100%. The drop off over the last few weeks has been notable
I don't think Arsenal are bottle jobs. Like I said when fans and pundits were ludicrously stating Arsenal had won the title back in January, I said their squad isn't big enough. They have a title winning first XI and then the drop off is huge. From Saliba to Holding, for example. They're 4 or 5 signings away from challenging City.
Man city do not have 2 world class players in every position. Please name these 2 players for each position. They have a small squad off 15 elite players, all the rest are a drop off in quality
It was a blessing and a curse being top of the league, the players and Arteta did feel the pressure but I’m thankful they gave Arsenal fans the hope. At the start of the season, I’d thought we’d scrape top 4 and we were 5/1 to do so. We exceeded expectations then got caught lacking unfortunately. Phase 4 out of 5 starts next season. COYG
Sometimes you need to give credit to your opposition when you need to. Pep showed Arteta that his taken the game to another level. By going long to Haaland is he needs to. Having Stones join in midfield to keep the ball. At the elite level you need to come up with something when you are up against it. Arteta showed his immaturity yesterday by not helping his team. When Arsenal we being dominated the entire 1st half why did he not try the double pivot and get Jorginho on alongside party to stem the tide. That's what made Ferguson and Mourinho great. They didn't sit back and watch their team get hammered and not intervene early doors.
2 World Class players for every position is the biggest myth in world football when our bench consists of Ortega, Gomez, Lewis, Palmer every week and we have no players out injured... this is our squad, stop the BS!
He's only been out a week, not like he's been missing for months and as good as he's played he's unfortunately not world class... lost it's meaning all together if people think half our team is world class!
Piers is absolutely right. Arsenal gave far too much space and respect to man city yesterday... It's is/was/always will be a mentality thing. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, rather the size of the fight in the dog is what determines the winner... Arsenal went to sleep and Man city "completely" outshined and dominated them last night.
Watching the game last night , I thought not one our players would start for City. Our midfield was diabolical. We need a 6,8,10 at least 2 this summer. We need a back up CB capable of playing in the EPL. Get Toney , even if he's suspended , we need a physical striker. When I watch Gundogan outrun odegaard who is like at least 7 years younger. Are we ambitious enough to go get what we really need, and discard many of the players who are not of the level? I am skeptical.
People keep forgetting that this EPL season been really weird none of the other top teams been consistent so now both City and Liverpool are finding some form and Newcastle been so different
Mikel Arteta has built a great young team, average age 23. If he can keep them together it will come good. De Bruyne is around 32 now, He isn't going to be around for ever.
I'm sick of this talk about Man City having the better team it is a deflection and coping mechanism. If Arsenal did their job in the 3 games before the city game they would have been 8 points clear. Man city having the best team in the league does not make Arsenal bottle and capitulate in those 3 games.
So by that logic you won’t be wanting Labour to win the next election then , given that Starmer (and the man Starmer will be moved out the way for ) Corbyn are Arsenal supporters? 😂
@@francescocotone4959 100% Youre telling me that everyone of those players walks into Arsenal starting 11? Not a chance. I have belief in KP but he needs some actual playing minutes, so I could agree to that, but unfortunately he has barely played. Besides, you only named 4 players. THis nonsense that Piers is spewing about how we have 2-3 WC players in every position is factually utter nonsense. The illusion is that we have many players that can play multiple roles
@@mrfernandes5562 It's called not having a big squad.Christ almighty even city lost to Brentford this season and drew with Nottingham.What do you call a team that has so much talent that they spend an entire season chasing a younger inexperienced team??
Arsenal bottled it when they let slip a two goal lead against Liverpool. Since then they've but dropped more & more points to the point beating City was a must but instead thry got absolutely spanked. City are now only 2 points behind Arsenal with 2 games in hand. Arsenal have still got to play the likes of Newcastle, Chelsea etc I'll be amazed if they won the Prem now
After their defeat at Newcastle last season, sections of the Gooner faithful bayed for the dismissal of Arteta. Thank goodness the board thought otherwise. Win or lose the title, Arsenal have been a joy to watch this season.
He be sacked January 2025. Next season they'll be phycology damage and other team will be back as well playing 3 games a week. They'll scrape top 4 if that Following season they'll be physical gone. Just like Dortmund, Barcelona Leeds Liverpool who all played or use to play high intensity football. At which point most fan will have turned and terrible run of form see him gone. He bottled league cup he bottled top 4 he bottled league. Every time they lose they have a mini break down .
@@afctaylor12 Since you have amazing foresight can you tell me what numbers swill win the lottery on Saturday. Get real man, this is the best season they've had in years. Live with it, enjoy the moment.

Im sorry when he says Citeh and Arsenal arent worlds apart then he is deluded, Arsenal literally put all their eggs in one basket. Citeh can win the treble 😅
Having Holding amid our defence is questionable as to the notion that a single person can have a dynamic of doubt based on the distraction of why are they on the pitch. Call me sceptical but look how we have played since Seleba has been injured!
Just remember city are experienced in winning titles this Arsenal team are still learning don't take any notice of piers pep has this thing with his players
Well harsh people saying they've bottled it. There's not been a doubt in my mind that city would win they are just too good right now. Arsenal can't compete with this city side no one can. Arsenal fans should be proud no one had them even for top 4 this season.
Arteta has a massive problem but when you talk about it you’re labeled as fake … how long will he continue to choke away easy stuff? Bottled Europa x2 in exactly the same manner Did it with top 4 now he’s done it with the league city are good but this game shouldn’t even matter.. how can you beat every club in the league but struggle to beat bottom of the table at home? Or bottling a 2-0 lead to a team 14 th place that you already slapped 3-1 in the last game
In all fairness city are above all teams in the league ,they look bigger stronger and fitter than anyone Arsenal finishing in the top 4 is good for Arteta though
We needed to shake things up and attempt to rattle Pep and we didn't. Holding in a back 4 was never going to work and even the players new it and it showed. We needed to go 3 at the back and bring Saka back to a wb and bring in Trossard up front.
I wouldn't really use the word bottled... They lacked a plan against City I would say and got steam rollered. Its not over yet but Newcastle will be pushing hard for top 4 and they definitely won't bottle anything. I really wanted Arsenal to win the league.
Bottled it?. More like crumbled under pressure...bottling it means no stomach for a fight....I think they had some fight ...just couldn't muster the energy..
No reason they couldn’t muster the energy. The main focus was the league, for Arsenal. City are still in Europe and they’re in a cup (I think). No reason Arsenal couldn’t muster the energy. They bottled it a bit, they lay down and let city walk all over them.

We were outclassed and outthought yesterday. We went there during a dip in form, low on confidence and missing Saliba. Pep and his players showed us how good they really are. Piers is talking out his .... again...
Instead of acknowledging the fact that city are a class apart Piers adopts the default we bottled it position used by many supporters who's team almost won something
Absolutely. Surely no City fan is that deluded to think that they’d be in this position without their billionaire owners? They were a joke side 20 odd years ago . It’s like your next door neighbour who works in Lidls suddenly winning a Euromillions triple rollover , you’d never keep up with them !😂
Honestly it's getting boring now how dominant City are. Back in the day, when Arsenal were dominant United and/or Chelsea were close challengers and vice versa. It's a one horse race these days.
I don’t know that I agree we bottled it. Unfair to blame holding but two years running at the end when he comes in we drop results. Next year if we keep this squad together long term and add a Declan rice and another cm and a few better reserve defenders we will go again. City are dominant. If you had said at the start of the year where do arsenal finish it isn’t second. Whilst we would have loved to win it’s just push on now and next season be in a position where we improve as much again as we have this year from last year. These young players will only get better, it’s keeping them all together and adding around them
At the end of the day, pre-season we thought we'd struggle to even get into the top 4 this season. I would love to win the league but ive never truly believed we could. City are an absolute unit the gulf between them and everyone else is enormous
Arsenal have had a great season by their own standards the fans should be proud. I do wonder if they can do this again next year with all the extra CL games
Went to the Etihad and tried to outplay City what did they expect. Should of taken a page out of Ole playbook and setup to counter.

The only reason we Arsenal fans are so disappointed is because we actually started to believe in something. We saw a team with fight, grit, determination, talent. Playing as a team, for each other, for the manager, for the fans, and we believed. It was bloody beautiful. Two or three years ago, this result would hardly have even registered, it just would've just been another disappointing part of another disappointing season. That belief is something that has been missing for such a long time at our club. The banter years were hard because, deep down, we all knew that we were ripe for picking - our club so often seemed like a total joke, where no one truly wanted to be challenging and all were content with just trying to play attractive football and keep a healthy bank balance. For years, top 4 was our "trophy", and even when we continually missed out on that the alarm bells didn't seem to start ringing at our club. When we finally parted ways with Wenger, people were actually questioning if him leaving was the right call; if we'd be able to replace him successfully.
Well I don't believe we're a banter club any more. Sure, we bottled the league in our last 4 matches (more so in the previous 3 than against City to be fair, it was always going to be bloody hard to get anything at the Etihad, but we would've had plenty of breathing space if we hadn't drawn 3 games we should've won), but the league was never the objective this season. Would it have been incredible to win it? Of course. And sure, it's technically not over yet, but I think we can all see where it's heading now.
But let's remember where we were as a club just last year. We lost out on top 4 to Spurs. They got CL football at our expense, when it was in our hands. All the pundits, all the fans - everyone - expected Spurs to be the ones challenging the big guns this season - they could attract a higher calibre than us thanks to CL. Arsenal were done, it was all doom and gloom. Yet here we are now, the only team in the league that have pushed City. Sealed top 4 with ease, while Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea (!) have been struggling all season.
Mikel has done an incredible job, and I thank him for bringing that belief back to our club. Let's keep fighting, improve our squad in the summer, and see where next season takes us. We go again! 💪
One last point, to those who will say that this season is now a disaster because the league was in our hands and we let it go:
What did you think of the Southampton result? We were 3-1 down and salvaged a draw right at the death. Was that a good result? Or was it still terrible because, regardless of how it happened, we needed the win?
Most people would say it was terrible because, at the end of the day, however the actual game panned out, our objective at the start of the match was to win the game, and we didn't.
Well it's exactly the same thing for the season as a whole. The overall objective of the season takes precedence over the little details and the way that it pans out. The season's objective was top 4, just like that match's objective was a win. Sure, the fact that we were top for so long and let it slip away hurts, it does. But just like the way that we came back from 2 goals down to get a draw might add some talking points and create context yet doesn't change the fact that the match overall was a huge disappointment, similarly the way we lost out on the league after being top for so long adds context and, sure, a big dose of disappointment, but doesn't change the fact that the season overall is a big, big success.
(Wow this got a lot longer than I'd anticipated 😂)
Well said! Steven Spielberg is looking for a scriptwriter!
You wrote a good piece.. a tad long but you have balance and a good attitude my friend.
Haha thanks, yeh I've never been good at limiting my word count 😅🙈
Mate, we were soft against Man City. It’s not that they didn’t allow us to play, it’s that there was hardly any fucking fight from the players except for Trossard when he came off the bench. Even Stevie Wonder could see that he needed to be started. The Man City defenders were shitting it whenever he got near their penalty area.
I’m sorry but Arteta’s failed, Man City were not that special this season & were there for the taking…..he’s only gone & bottled it.
You think the likes of Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, THEM & Newcastle (could even add Brighton & Villa too) will be weak next season? They’re all going to strengthen over summer & we will need to buckle up our ideas if we seriously want to think about challenging for league titles.
Arteta needs to have the bottle to drop players who aren’t performing. Ever since the international break, Saka has been by far our worst player & needed dropping a few games ago. Put him on the bench to give him a reality check & keep him on his toes. With the exception of the game against Liverpool, Partey (as another example) has been terrible this month. Again, put him on the bench to let him know that his place is under threat unless he ups his game.
P.S. Southampton at home was the final nail in the coffin for me. If we can’t beat them at home, we don’t deserve the title.
@@gunnerboy2975 I don't disagree with most of what you said. I just think that the bigger picture doesn't change just because you're viewing it through this lens. If we'd started the season badly, and the last 4 results had happened early on, and we'd then gone on to do really well afterwards and managed to climb our way to second place, we'd be getting all the plaudits now. Of course I totally understand that context is hugely important to the season, but my point is that the season's objective was completed and surpassed. You say that Man City were there for the taking, I don't think that's the case. If anyone thought it was our title already just because we were a few points ahead of City (after their games in hand), they were deluded. City are an absolutely phenomenal team. I have no problem coming second to them, given where we're at as a club. Before the season started I actually said that I thought we should be challenging for 3rd place - everyone thought I was mad. I thought City and Liverpool were way ahead of the rest, but that we should be up there with anyone else. So even by my high expectations (considering people wrote off our chance of even getting top 4) we have still gone above and beyond. (I also thought that United would struggle to get top 6 🤷♂️). But City were always capable of going on a 10, 15-game winning streak, without it even being a big deal. Whereas for us every game has been like a cup final - it was an enormous ask of this young group to win 10 cup finals on the bounce.
Again, I do understand where you, and people who think like you, are coming from. The way we bottled it at the end is hugely frustrating, and so so disappointing. I agree that Arteta has got things wrong lately. But you guys seem to forget that Arteta is the reason we're here in the first place. The reason we're all so damn sad about how it went down is because Arteta took us to a place we haven't been in, what, over a decade? I'm sad, but I'm sad because I CARE, and I care because Arteta has made me care again. I used to be totally numb to it all. Now I feel again, and when you feel you open yourself up to bad feelings as well as good. But it's better than no feeling at all, which is where I was at for such a long time under the Wenger reign.
Breaking news...Morgan says Arsenal is a bottler 😂
God i hate piers morgan
why?
Not helpful
U don't know him personally and u hate him, ridiculous
You hate that he is spot on? i hate delusional people
Me too. What a 🤡🤡🤡
He probably hates you.
They haven't bottled it. They were out played. Every team has a blip. Piers talking crap as usual...
Pier Morgan is right
They didn't step up
Bottled Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton. They completely gave up and didn't even give Man City a game
They have 100% bottled it.
Piers darling how many Arsenal players yesterday would replace City players (in that City team)?
not a single one in fact their starters are city rejects
The best question would have been ,how many Arsenal players would have got on City's bench as against those sitting there ????
@@barrieroberts75 Well i didn’t want to be insensitive and impolite
City paid 15 million for Akanji by the way , Alvarez cost us 18 million - Gundogan was 20 million , Sergio Gomez was 11 million - thats good scouting and recruitment
Man City is a monster. You cannot drop even a little. Drawing games is not enough.
...and every other team we beat have bottled it?
No, Pep's teaching the world how to play football.
Lovely that Piers took time away from rimming Ronaldo to voice his opinions. On another note, hearing that he broke 5 ribs in the past has made my day

You know a team is deadly when a player who scored a hat trick the previous game doesn't make the first team & benched for almost the entire game 😅
Because unlike Arsenal they r competing in multiple competitions.
u mean Mahrez?
Saliba and Tomyasu injured at the same time is the reason, more than mentality.
Arsenal's system completely relies on a strong passing backline.
Arteta didn't adapt to the injuries, leaving Partey's single-pivot and Zinchenko at LB looking disastrous.
Makes sense... Do you think they would've won with those 2 playing?
Good points. They need a plan B, but we've only got one way of playing well.
@@danielmann316 I dont think theyd have won vs City. However i dont think those leads would have been blown and i dont think we would have conceded 3 vs Southampton. Those were the games where we lost the league.
Oh here we go with excuses, well if you wanna play that card then all teams Assna have played this season been missing their key player(s). Not seeing you highlighting that too 😅
@@danielmann316 Let me answer that for you.They unlikely would have not won as earlier in the season they had those two players and lost.They played better had more than 60% but only had 1 shot on target as opposed to 6 for City,who were playing away from home.
From a Utd fan, I feel sorry for all Arsenal fans except this man Piers Morgan, a disgrace to their fan base
Arsenal do have some embarrassing idiot fans , apart from Morgan there is Kier Starmer and Jeremy Corbyn 😂
Gary Neville called it: winning the title is hard to do. Arsenal didn’t bottle it, they met teams who matched them and they didn’t have that extra bit to get the win, but let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t bottling, what it is is a team that was overrrated. Simply, City are in a different league.
It's not a mental thing it's a quality thing man city have a deep squad and great coach
What depth? They've got maybe 3 players on the bench that Pep has any trust in at all. The rest never play unless the game is over and even then they barely play.
@@russellward4624 3 players you serious??Ake was injured and they could choose from 4.Problem with City is they have too many to choose from.
@Russell Ward
No depth. Are you serious?just look at the centre backs in their squad Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake and Akanji.
They would all get into most other Premier teams. The bench will normally have Alvarez - a World Cup winner, Phillips, then take your pick from Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo Silva,
sometimes Walker. Plus one or two young, exciting talents.
Arsenal had to play Rob Holding.
What has city squad depth has to do with Arsenal losing 6 points in last 3 games including the bottom relegation team? And how many competitions is Arsenal in that they need squad depth? And why did the bottled top 4 last season? Stop making lame excuses 🤫
@@senti2175 oh i dont know maybe the fact that they were absolutely knackered and apart from the first 11 you can't really point to anyone else that can make a huge difference.I just gave you an example that they could choose from 4 defenders...so tha make sno difference.Mahrez and bernardo silva where on the bench ffs!!Their second string can also win the PL.Maybe you lot should learn the difference between a developing sqaud and the finished article.
Last night wasn’t a bottle job, they were simply outclassed. Now Southampton and West Ham we’re definitely an example of bottling. Maybe even Liverpool given the 2 goal cushion. But bottling implies you were favoured and you lost, nah, one of the two best teams in the world just ran through you, that was how it was meant to go. They’ve beaten you twice already this year, 3-1 at their Emirates. That’s not bottling, that’s a consistent pattern of them being better.
If I lost a boxing match to Tyson, did I bottle it, or did the better boxer just kick my ass…
Spot on.
Stop sugarcoating. They bottled it.
@@Dave-nq6uy Man City are not just the best team in premier league, they’re one of the best teams in the world. I wouldn’t of been as disappointed if we left everything out there
@@Dave-nq6uy I’m not sugar coating, I’m being objective. I’m not an arsenal fan. The definition of bottling is when you are expected to do something but the pressure becomes too much. They bottled it their last 3 games, I acknowledged that. But how can they bottle it against city, when everyone expected them to get battered? The most predicted score line that everyone seemed to have was 3-1, which was pretty close. Sounds like these went according to plan to me. Tell me, If Norwich lose to Man City, have Norwich bottled it, or have the better team won? No one thought arsenal were winning, no one but don Robbie and Ty.
@@joshuaw9675 That performance was embarrassing. Lack of fight is unacceptable in this club.
If there's one instance where Arsenal must wish they were Spurs it's going against City. Spurs are always beating them whereas Pep I think has a perfect win rate against Arsenal in the league since talking charge of City, City always have a field day against them & even when there's a title on the line. 😂🤦♂️
Actually it's KDB he always score or assist in every Arsenal game he just love em.
I read that during Guardiola’s tenure at Man City, his worst record against any team in the league is against that lot up the road. Don’t know what it is but Guardiola’s Man City always seem to be pocketed by THEM! My question is why?! 🙄🤔
Earlier this season at the Etihad :
Manchester City 4
Tottenham 2
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, though!
City usually beat Spurs at the Etihad.
We've not won at Tottenham's new stadium as yet, but we had a decent record against Spurs at Wembley and White Hart Lane in the years before they moved to their new stadium.
@@andrewlangsdale7445 I didn’t believe it either. If you add this season’s fixtures between you & THEM, I make it 6-2-6. 😐 He is obviously unaware of the “lads, it’s Tottenham” team talk.
Ben white got bodied by the England team and Haaland after he picked on Foden 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The pressure told on Arsenal, as a Utd fan I feel sorry for the players but they've been fantastic. As for Piers? Couldn't be happier to hear him so disappointed, had a big dose of karma due.
I still think we had a better season than them. They won naff all but they still did very well in the league.
I actually think arsenal have done well to get to this point but I think city are a far superior side! Arsenal have relied this season on the whole team playing at 100%. The drop off over the last few weeks has been notable
I don't think Arsenal are bottle jobs. Like I said when fans and pundits were ludicrously stating Arsenal had won the title back in January, I said their squad isn't big enough. They have a title winning first XI and then the drop off is huge. From Saliba to Holding, for example. They're 4 or 5 signings away from challenging City.
Man city do not have 2 world class players in every position. Please name these 2 players for each position. They have a small squad off 15 elite players, all the rest are a drop off in quality
It was a blessing and a curse being top of the league, the players and Arteta did feel the pressure but I’m thankful they gave Arsenal fans the hope. At the start of the season, I’d thought we’d scrape top 4 and we were 5/1 to do so. We exceeded expectations then got caught lacking unfortunately. Phase 4 out of 5 starts next season. COYG
Hate fans like you.... ypu not real fans, these players and coach are not up for it, arteta needs to go....
It’s the hope that kills you 😅
@@trapmantv.nocopyrightmusic593 that’s what I didn’t want. Soon as Saliba and Tomiyasu got injured it was a wrap unfortunately.
I didnt hear this same energy when Spurs didnt win the league 😂 and we weren't 8 points clear.
All they gave us was that they gave up when it mattered the most
Sometimes you need to give credit to your opposition when you need to. Pep showed Arteta that his taken the game to another level.
By going long to Haaland is he needs to. Having Stones join in midfield to keep the ball.
At the elite level you need to come up with something when you are up against it. Arteta showed his immaturity yesterday by not helping his team.
When Arsenal we being dominated the entire 1st half why did he not try the double pivot and get Jorginho on alongside party to stem the tide.
That's what made Ferguson and Mourinho great. They didn't sit back and watch their team get hammered and not intervene early doors.
Akanji is 28 years old in a couple of months 😂😂😂" this kid" 😂😂😂
A kid compared to Piers
He didn't mention that Arsenal have to play Newcastle away.....he's ignorant to assume they are going to get anything out of that game!!
Let them dream 😅😅😅
It was the West Wam and Southampton games that did arsenal in drawing at anfield was acceptable
2 World Class players for every position is the biggest myth in world football when our bench consists of Ortega, Gomez, Lewis, Palmer every week and we have no players out injured... this is our squad, stop the BS!
Ake is injured. But nobody would claim he's world class.
He's only been out a week, not like he's been missing for months and as good as he's played he's unfortunately not world class... lost it's meaning all together if people think half our team is world class!
Chelsea had only 1 bad season in 10 years and Arsenal had one good season in 10 years and yet we always think “we’re better than them”…
Chelsea's history is 10 years
Piers is absolutely right. Arsenal gave far too much space and respect to man city yesterday... It's is/was/always will be a mentality thing. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, rather the size of the fight in the dog is what determines the winner... Arsenal went to sleep and Man city "completely" outshined and dominated them last night.
Two world players in every position? Lies
Watching the game last night , I thought not one our players would start for City. Our midfield was diabolical. We need a 6,8,10 at least 2 this summer. We need a back up CB capable of playing in the EPL. Get Toney , even if he's suspended , we need a physical striker. When I watch Gundogan outrun odegaard who is like at least 7 years younger.
Are we ambitious enough to go get what we really need, and discard many of the players who are not of the level? I am skeptical.
What is he taking about? Only Saka i will take from Arsenal and then put him in the bench so he can learn from Mahrez...
thank god its only 4, this game could easily go out of control like leipzig game
People keep forgetting that this EPL season been really weird none of the other top teams been consistent so now both City and Liverpool are finding some form and Newcastle been so different
Ask him about the flop cr7
😂😂 ❤that
Didn’t even really bottle it, Man City is just better, you only bottle something if you stood a chance in the first place
Losing Saliba was the biggest issue - Not just for the back line but every player was shifting positions to back up holding. We lost our shape
But holding should have been sold a longtime ago why is he still playing for arsenal why?
City has played the least amount of players in the league. The whole myth that a city has two in each position is a way for Arsenal to make excuses
He's 100% correct. They shrink like violets under the glare of pressure.
Who thought piers Morgan opinion on football matters?
His mother.
Mikel Arteta has built a great young team, average age 23. If he can keep them together it will come good. De Bruyne is around 32 now, He isn't going to be around for ever.
I'm sick of this talk about Man City having the better team it is a deflection and coping mechanism. If Arsenal did their job in the 3 games before the city game they would have been 8 points clear. Man city having the best team in the league does not make Arsenal bottle and capitulate in those 3 games.

Arsenal bottled it when they let slip a two goal lead against Liverpool. Since then they've but dropped more & more points to the point beating City was a must but instead thry got absolutely spanked. City are now only 2 points behind Arsenal with 2 games in hand. Arsenal have still got to play the likes of Newcastle, Chelsea etc I'll be amazed if they won the Prem now
I hope man united play elanga he's really due a hat of goals 😮
The bottle job was the previous 3 games. This is just the icing on the cake.
After their defeat at Newcastle last season, sections of the Gooner faithful bayed for the dismissal of Arteta. Thank goodness the board thought otherwise. Win or lose the title, Arsenal have been a joy to watch this season.
Crap next season will be worst watch out.
He be sacked January 2025. Next season they'll be phycology damage and other team will be back as well playing 3 games a week. They'll scrape top 4 if that Following season they'll be physical gone. Just like Dortmund, Barcelona Leeds Liverpool who all played or use to play high intensity football. At which point most fan will have turned and terrible run of form see him gone. He bottled league cup he bottled top 4 he bottled league. Every time they lose they have a mini break down .

Light years is excuse for mediocrity. How about Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton matches, did City stop us from beating them?
Not bottled it... they just weren't as good as City over the 38 games is closer to the truth should the inevitable happen.
imho, not having Saliba for the game is the key for me...
Saliba made such a difference when he was established in the first team that the fans already had a song for him by September. Sadly missed and who knows when and if he’ll be back this season.
Im sorry when he says Citeh and Arsenal arent worlds apart then he is deluded, Arsenal literally put all their eggs in one basket. Citeh can win the treble 😅
Now I really want to see Man City win the title.
LMAO 😆😂🤣 I know why❕⚽️
Having Holding amid our defence is questionable as to the notion that a single person can have a dynamic of doubt based on the distraction of why are they on the pitch. Call me sceptical but look how we have played since Seleba has been injured!
Tears for Piers
Way above expectations this season
Its hard to say bottle when City are just a machine. Arsenal have been magnificent in many games. City are just a monster
Er piers. You got outplayed, not choked
Saliba wouldn't stop Haaland at all. We owned you 3-1 at home. Saliba is the most overrated defender in the league, like with Martinez.
You are probably right, but with Saliba they wouldn’t have shipped all those points against West Ham and Southampton.
Just remember city are experienced in winning titles this Arsenal team are still learning don't take any notice of piers pep has this thing with his players
Did he do a interview without mentioning ronaldo?
City were always beating arsenal last night. They’ll smash us in the fa cup. The only hope is Madrid do the job
Well harsh people saying they've bottled it. There's not been a doubt in my mind that city would win they are just too good right now. Arsenal can't compete with this city side no one can. Arsenal fans should be proud no one had them even for top 4 this season.
Piers Morgan always says how it is....spot on.
Arsenal are not the arsenal of 6 weeks ago. M city were amasing but the gunners looked lethargic anyway . United ❤🖤 4 ever! And a day...
Arteta has a massive problem but when you talk about it you’re labeled as fake … how long will he continue to choke away easy stuff?
Bottled Europa x2 in exactly the same manner
Did it with top 4 now he’s done it with the league city are good but this game shouldn’t even matter.. how can you beat every club in the league but struggle to beat bottom of the table at home? Or bottling a 2-0 lead to a team 14 th place that you already slapped 3-1 in the last game
In all fairness city are above all teams in the league ,they look bigger stronger and fitter than anyone
Arsenal finishing in the top 4 is good for Arteta though
We needed to shake things up and attempt to rattle Pep and we didn't. Holding in a back 4 was never going to work and even the players new it and it showed. We needed to go 3 at the back and bring Saka back to a wb and bring in Trossard up front.
if n buts bro. City were never losing that game
The next reaction from Arsenal will be a draw with Chelsea.
Not one arsenal player gets in city’s team.
I wouldn't really use the word bottled... They lacked a plan against City I would say and got steam rollered. Its not over yet but Newcastle will be pushing hard for top 4 and they definitely won't bottle anything. I really wanted Arsenal to win the league.
Bottled it?.
More like crumbled under pressure...bottling it means no stomach for a fight....I think they had some fight ...just couldn't muster the energy..
No they bottled it as they did against Tottenham last year!!
No reason they couldn’t muster the energy. The main focus was the league, for Arsenal. City are still in Europe and they’re in a cup (I think). No reason Arsenal couldn’t muster the energy. They bottled it a bit, they lay down and let city walk all over them.
@@jacklegros6614 I’d be the first to call them bottlers.. yeah they buckled under pressure,,, it happened in 1989 to the great adams side but they did pull it around against Liverpool at anfield.. so were they bottlers ?

It's not over until it's over!
I think it's over bro, Man City can afford to either draw twice or lose one fixture, and still be top
We were outclassed and outthought yesterday. We went there during a dip in form, low on confidence and missing Saliba. Pep and his players showed us how good they really are. Piers is talking out his .... again...
Instead of acknowledging the fact that city are a class apart Piers adopts the default we bottled it position used by many supporters who's team almost won something
Money has ruined the game
Absolutely. Surely no City fan is that deluded to think that they’d be in this position without their billionaire owners? They were a joke side 20 odd years ago .
It’s like your next door neighbour who works in Lidls suddenly winning a Euromillions triple rollover , you’d never keep up with them !😂

This video should be called "Ally McCoist DOESN'T SLAM Piers Morgan for claiming Arsenal have bottled it"
Forgot he was an arsenal fan, makes them bottling the league even more sweet 😂😂
Honestly it's getting boring now how dominant City are. Back in the day, when Arsenal were dominant United and/or Chelsea were close challengers and vice versa. It's a one horse race these days.
I don’t know that I agree we bottled it. Unfair to blame holding but two years running at the end when he comes in we drop results. Next year if we keep this squad together long term and add a Declan rice and another cm and a few better reserve defenders we will go again. City are dominant. If you had said at the start of the year where do arsenal finish it isn’t second. Whilst we would have loved to win it’s just push on now and next season be in a position where we improve as much again as we have this year from last year. These young players will only get better, it’s keeping them all together and adding around them

At the end of the day, pre-season we thought we'd struggle to even get into the top 4 this season. I would love to win the league but ive never truly believed we could. City are an absolute unit the gulf between them and everyone else is enormous
Arsenal have had a great season by their own standards the fans should be proud. I do wonder if they can do this again next year with all the extra CL games
Don't speak on behalf of other fans. If they don't win the league it's another crap season. Focus on your own team kid.
