nah nah nah.
Not having that.
I actively dislike Arsenal as much as the next guy who doesnt like Arsenal, but I wont have anyone say they bottled the title this season.(if they dont win it)
To take City to the final day is not bottling it.
Last season, when they let City clawback an 8 point lead in the last month of the season, they bottled it, yes.
But taking it to the last day is not bottling it. Someone has to win it and someone has to lose.
Otherwise 19 teams "bottle" the league title every season.

The only way you could slag them off is the Villa game at the emirates. Losing that looks like the game that has cost them the title.

Other than that and a draw against City, I think they’ve won every league game since January

Indeed.

The games we lost in December at Fulham and then at home to West Ham will be what will cost us.

The villa game was a blip, but they are a good side and can beat anybody on their day.

I ain’t gonna do a sucky and start demanding pgmol apologies. But the games again Toon and West Ham had some ridiculous VAR decisions that went against us, and also cost points.

Yeah you’ve lost games you probably shouldn’t have but tbf Arsenal have mentally looked strong in the second half of the season. The Villa game is the only one ‘recently’ where they could be accused of bottling it.
 
If you takeaway the shocking decisions City have had against them they’d be looking at another 100 point season.

It was a bad result for sure, but nothing about us this season has been bottling it. Last season we did. But like you say, the team have been mentally rock solid this season.

Everybody is expecting City to batter West Ham and claim the title again. But there might still be a twist in the tale on the last day

not forgetting all the pgmol decisions arsenal were getting. Seems like they get a controversial one every week. Pep has absolutely schooled arteta

If West Ham hold City to a draw, and Arsenal fail to beat Everton is that bottling it? <whistle>

Aye, the league were desperate for City not to win it again and they’ve give Arsenal every chance. Arteta is just the next in a long line brushed aside by Pep.

It was a pretty dodgy goal but we've all had bad decisions against us in fairness (I thought we were owed a penalty last night). The most you were getting at ours was a point anyway as you weren't scoring - you only had one shot on target all game. That doesn't bridge the 2 points to City.
