Not at all. People were saying Man City or Chelsea all season and they only throw us no the mix when we start to fall off so they can say we're bottling. Bottling is when you have a comfortable lead with a few games to go not when you have a 3 point lead with about 15 games to go. It's absolutely ridiculous to claim that's bottling. |

People also claim we bottle all competitions. 4 of the last 5 seasons we've had the best side in Europe in the CL. You could look at games like Blackburn etc... last season but all sides have those sorts of results. Birmingham in 2011 was what you call bottling. |

Bottlers probably isn't the right word tbf. Pretenders is much more accurate |

Who seriously though we were going to win the league for us to be pretenders? It's all convenient timing when people start to act like they thought we were going to do it. |

That's a pretty narrow definition. But I get your point. Going off on a tangent...for me, if Arsenal continue with the trend, it still looks like a big missed opportunity. Every other team in contention for the top 4 last season changed manager and not one has looked impressive this season. While Arsenal actually started to spend money and brought in a star player. Despite that, you'll most likely be back in fourth after City's games in hand. Plus you'd expect that at least some of your direct competition won't be quite so uninspiring next season. On an even more distant tangent... Arsenal are 12 points up on last year after 28 games. But still have a point less in the equivalent matches.

We are contenders but it doesn't mean you're bottling if you don't win. |

We're not in a fight for the top 4 either. The top 4 is already done. |

Yeah because every side has been so consistent that we can say it's not possible. |
