GWT: PL Matchweek 36

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Unintentional but ouch.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Is Arsenal really bottling it? It should have been Tottenham’s since they signed Conte. I’d say Arsenal were always more of an underdog for 4th that Tottenham was

They are bottling it considering they were in the better position at the beginning of the day.

If we are talking about expectations at the start of the year, sure, I agree with you.

 

[Savant]

if you don't see that's a yellow you're about as biased as Savant is, sorry

Def a yellow. That PK call was still trash and ruined the game though. Holding can’t lose his head there though on a yellow.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Davies was free...

Season is 38 weeks. I’d say Tottenham are the ones that have bottled if they don’t finish in 4th, not Arsenal.

Yeah Spurs bottled it in the first place by signing a manager who turned out to be absolutely stupid. This season would be in way different context if they signed Conte in the summer when he wanted to sign.

I mean, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Facts is, Arsenal were in a prime position to secure top 4 at the beginning of the day and, even with a loss, still are with two winnable match to go.

If they do not finish 4, they have bottled it. Huge missed opportunity.

I promise you nothing any of the London teams do effects my sleep negatively. I just don’t agree with that sentiment. In a 38 game season where everyone plays twice it’s not over until it’s over, and usually the team with the best manager and the best talent wins out. That ain’t Arsenal.

When you'd have to drop points against Newcastle or Everton in order for this to happen, I would call it bottling

Paul Tierney does though.

I mean, I agree that all games count.

All I am saying is that, when the pressure is on, Arsenal would have bottled it if they do not qualify. Losing against Tottenham at Tottenham is fine. Not being able to secure top 4 against Newcastle and Everton, that would be a huge wasted opportunity.

5 would still be good considering the expectations at the beginning of the season... but now, the expectations have to have changed. If not, Arsenal has no ambition.

OR

we turn it around in the second and put them to bed tonight

Hey, I am rooting for Arsenal, so I'd love that. But 10 men? Away? That would be quite the accomplishment.

Everton is going to be tough if they are fighting to stay up. Tottenham have Norwich and Burnley which is a lot more easy.

I think this is fair too.

I also think in general the phrase “bottled” is probably over used a bit.

Paul Tierney does though.

I’m sure Paul Tierney dreams of Harry Kane

I mean I would've considered Tottenham slight favourites even before all the ahem incidents, I'm just trying to pump myself up so I can watch the second half

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Howe's Newcastle have only lost to City and Liverpool at home. They will be tough too.

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Salah better watch out...

 

[maclean]

oof

 

[bluesfan94]

Tottenham can do whatever they want.

 

[AB13]

The man who dived for the penalty and jumped into Holdings arm is obviously going to score. . I’m going to bed.

 

[Juve]

I thought that would have been called off.

 

[robertmac43]

I kind of thought there was a foul against Gabriel on that third goal....Not that it matters at this point.
