Chelsea fan here, but the amount of stick Arsenal are getting is ridiculous. They've spent the last 10 year struggling to get top 4, and now after a few years of pressure, Arteta has built a solid team that has consistently challenged for the Premier League against 2 very tough sides. They're a point behind City! It's not like they've imploded and lost a bunch of games at the end of the season. Liverpool fall short every year and never get labelled as bottlers. Media narrative is pathetic!! Even if Arsenl finish 2nd, it's still an impressive season for them!

it's quite refreshing to hear a level headed simon jordan tbh

Simon has more flip flops than a Haviana store

He literally says the opposite of the click bait title 🤣

I've seen some stupid reporting on Talksport but this takes the prize. Embarrassing

He's changed his tone😂

What's with the Max Headroom sound glitching? Bad audio and clickbait titles, Talksport are a bit of a mess at the moment.

Didnt he say we’re going to win the league last week?

Simon and Danny are some of biggest critics of Arsenal over the years. But this is an objective view and take from both. Big up to these 2

I can't believe I am hearing this repeatedly. Six games left, 18 points to play for, and only a two points difference and some people are saying the title race is a forgone conclusion. I am a City fan and by no means this is over.

you can't compare Klopp's 5 yrs to Arteta's. This is Arteta's first job. Klopp been a manager for eons. He has waay more experience. Arteta is still leaning and is becoming better.

Jordan is talksports best asset by far

Simon Jordan: TalkSport treasure 😂😂

I dont think Arsenal can be labelled anything other than a work in progress until we see where they peak, at the moment they arent quite at the very top, but they've improved in every metric on last season, which is clear progress.

When you are competing with city it's so difficult to win I think arteta is doing a fantastic job I'm LFC but it's almost impossible to win the league at the moment

If bottling it is competing for the Premier League and getting into the last eight of the C/L then as an Arsenal fan I'd take that. We have been derisory over the last decade, so absolutely lovely to see us eating at the top table.

But what exactly did Arsenal do wrong to deserve this hate? Liverpool literally were 5 points clear of everyone until Arsenal went on an unbeaten streak before Villa.

"Talkbollox" never lets you down.

Great comments, that's what I call quality.

Did that Arsenal fan seriously say Ollie Watkins is better than Harry Kane? 😂

This trend now of calling any team that loses bottlers is ridiculous! What makes the premier league the best league in the world is that from top to bottom it’s competitive, any team can beat any one! Each week it’s, klopp has bottled it, Arteta has bottled it, it’s a 3 way fight, which can only be won by 1 team. Finishing 2nd or 3rd isn’t bottling it, it’s just after 38 games they haven’t been the best ! And Jim calling arsenal bottlers for losing against villa, villa are a top class team ! Just because they’re not traditionally classed as the original top 6 they don’t get credit! It’s snobbery from people like Jim who think it’s a so called big teams right to beat everyone else in the league.

Looking at what Arsenal has done with one of the youngest sides in the league is truly commendable. Arsenal is in a much better position compared to their usual rivals (Spurs, Chelsea, Man U), thanks to Arteta. Losing one game or not winning the league should not shadow what Arteta has done with this young group of players.

@ 05:02 Simon "They're gonna be forever, what ever they do bottlers", utter nonsense, when we start winning things, that bottling jibe is soon distached. No one is saying Bayern NeverKusen this season.

Come on Timmy! Come on! You can do it!

Jim absolutely does not hope that we go through.

Always respected Simon not always everyone of his opinions but always how he says what he means and he means what he says

0 points against Villa?

To label any team “Bottlers” is confirmation you don’t have an original thought in your head and can’t think for yourself.

Arteta has only spent 600 million in his time at Arsenal.. give the lad a break!!

Am i watching the same video. He literally says the opposite of the headline!!

Liverpool were 10 points clear and now are 3rd. Why isn’t anyone saying they bottled it?

Spot on

Fact is Arsenal had it all in their own hands before Palace, now they do not.

Judge Arsenal at the end of the season or when they get to play Villa’s second team like City did.

Talksport as original as ever

Sack him tonight arteta out

Exciting young manager, exciting young team. Good football, challenging the elite, deep European runs.... is this Arteta's Arsenal or Pochettino's Tottenham. Will it all have the same outcome. Probably

It’s funny how NO ONE mentions Man Utd having an 8 point lead with 6 games to go and BOTTLED IT but not once even when it happened did ANYONE say they BOTTLED IT and that’s up to this day,who bottles it more than SPURSY COYG❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

5 comments and 3 are spam, madness

Holy cow I couldnt get through this mess of commentary. Arsenal strengthened in all positions that they were lacking last season, everyone said its their year to prove themselves in EPL and UCL, and now that they have bottled both, suddenly its fine? Piss off with that soft approach. Cause when Liverpool ''bottled'' the league in 2018/19 with 97 freaking points they had to hear about it until the mid of 2019/20 season. Are they a good team? Yes. But they have room to improve, is all.

First defeat this year did liverpool not beat them in the fa cup??

Arsenal need a clinical finisher upfront not only for the goals but more importantly to show Saka ans Jesus to be more clinical.

Arteta doing exactly what wenger was forced to leave the club for.. bare minimum, just top 4 and being pretenders

The title is so misleading 🙄

Staying in the competition we will cross the line , stay positive and patient we will win major trophies

Everything is open, all the discussion will find an end, when the game starts.

"Look mum, your money was well spent on my Media degree, I write "Clashes" in every title"

James on the beers again

Agreed re Watkins is better than Kane. Well said Jamie. Kane is now an immobile English Oak… and by the stats, Ollie literally is: double figure G & A 💜💙🦁

Simon Jordan is a hypocrite 😂😂

We so need arteta to spend up to 1 billion soon. The media and fans will give him so much pressure, it will be the best entertainment.

Great journalism, everyone who doesn’t win the league against the best club / manager in PL history is a bottler!

Where the "clash" ??

At 3:35 it sounds like Murphy let’s one RIP

No need for such clickbaity titles! We are watching and listening because of quality content,dont ruin it please!

Losing the league only to City will never be failure. City operate on a different level, a level that no other team can, in the world. Being second to city in the league is arguably as good as you can hope and expect to be.

As an arsenal fan id say it depends on the result tonight and sunday before we can answer that

JIM WITH HIS SPURSY HAT ON,calling us bottlers CLASSIC SPURSY!!!!

Wasn't liverpool like 8 pts clear this season? No one saying they bottled it is madness

Imagine bottling it THAT much that youre 2 points behind Man City with 6 games left... and last 8 of the Champions League.... Ohhh how i wish i was a Spurs fan instead...

Great discussion, Arsenal surprised everyone including themselves last year when they pushed the best team not only in England but in the world and almost won the league, no one who loves football would want a league where one team wins it with ten games to go, I would prefer the premier league to have at least four teams which can offer City a stiff competition for the title.

The South African cricket team are labelled as chokers. As a South African and as much as it hurts, the tag is suitable. Bottlers, chokers, perennials, whatever you want to call it, Arsenal are the proteas of football. And just like us, they should accept the tag and celebrate it, if and when they do overcome their tag

I don't agree with Simon's analysis of Arsenal last season at all... we lost the season in the FA Cup round facing Man City... Arteta put out a far weakened side which ended up getting beat and compounded the 'we can't beat Man City trope'... that defeat damaged us psychologically, which then fed into 'Arsenal never win at Liverpool trope' game... then teams started to work out how to play and beat Arsenal...people forget it took teams almost all season to get to grips with Arsenal's new tactics... the run of bad games also happened at the same time Ramsdale and his partner lost their baby... this season, we are much improved, but teams are improving on their tactics.... had Arsenal put their chances away in the 2 Villa games this season.. it would have been very very different games... but dems the breaks!!

Arsenal bottled the season last year, this year I don’t think they were ever going to win the league

Simon Jordan moaning about the media is amazing irony

Arteta needs to take Cups more seriously. We have been disappointing in them. But as Man City seem set to walk another league, over 38 games it takes near perfection to win PL once Pep remains

A arsenal v city semi would be something special, let's hope it happens

Media stiring things up. We are happy with Arteta. Playing much better and competing again. Late Wenger years and Emery years were very hard to watch. Let us be happy where we are, and we will support the team and manager to push on.

Its funny how the term bottling is now being used consistently as soon as arsenal are in a title race wasnt around for any other team who have nearly won everything liverpool comes to mind out of the 3 chances they had they did it once not having a go at liverpool im js

100% bottlers so far, when lpool did it in kiev and paris and 97 points, where was this sympathy from arsenal fans? they kept telling us were bottlers, now theyre in the same territory, live with the consequences.

Liverpool were 10 points ahead after EVERY TOP 3 team played 23 games. Now with 6 games left they are 2 points behind Man City so HOW TF have Arsenal bottled it. The aston villa game YES Arteta bottled that, reverting to pre dubai tactics (havertz midfield, jesus up front) that PROVED did not work

Emery is the best manager in the PL

Why the statement of unbeaten in 2024 used for Arsenal that often? It's just PL. They were defeated in FA Cup as well as champions league match against Porto which shows they are a side very much vulnerable to get defeated in crucial matches.

Bottling it is harsh I'd say chockers just the nerves I can see arsenal lifting there first trophy soon then wait for the avalanche

It is starting to feel that Arteta has got the most possible from this team as it is. Maybe we do need a striker and replace 1 or 2 other players. We will see, the season is not over yet, but I dont see us winning the league, CL or a lot of trophies with the team as it stands. I hope I'm wrong.

It's bottling it when you capitulate every year down the stretch.

"The invinsibles" arsenal team is overhyped, they drew 12 games out of 36 games: thats a 1/3 of games, great team but imo drew to many games

This season simon and most talksport heads have said all of these things. Arsenal win league City win league Liverpool win league City win another treble City win everything Liverpool win ruropa Arsenal for champions league Etc etc

Come on Timmy you can do this !!

It's like people arent seeing that pep's city are breaking records here there and everywhere. This arsenal/liverpool team are winning in any era prior to pep

Liverpool were 5 points clear earlier this year no one has said they’ve bottled it

You think if city didn’t have an off year and Liverpool didn’t win the league, would he questioned like Arteta would be. He was challenging city with as close to a generational great squad as you can get, can you say the same about this Arsenal side. It’s good but not near those Liverpool teams klopps didn’t manage to win the pl with in my eyes.

Bottling is really for individual sports as golf.

It doesn’t show they can do it when it really matters

Liverpool was 10 points ahead, but nobody is talking about how they have bottled it, its only about how Arsenal, who never had a single point lead bottled it, that's so funny.

I’m a Villa fan… *clears throat* 🎤 Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that!!! 🎤 💜💙🦁

typical click bait nonsense

Arsenal fans, look Im a liverpool fan, you should vehemently reject this bottling label. Look your team is building a young successful club, the results your getting is way ahead of your time. The makeup of this Arsenal team is not like City or Madrid or Bayern. Arsenal still needs to find their feet and learn how to get over the line.

Tbf they did miss a great opportunity the same as Liverpool did to go top definitely could be labelled a bottling moment

People hat Arsenal and it makes me really proud to bea fan. By the way Liverpool won PL while competing aganst City. That Gerald's fall is the greatest bottling of all time yet on one talks about it

The season is not over yet. There is going to be more twist and turn till then.

The definition of bottling it would be if Arsenal were to win the league against City who are the treble winners and greatest team we’ve seen. Bottling it is when you have all the tools, credentials and the history of doing it but then you slip up to a team that employed your assistant coach in his first job & bought two of your players in Jesus and Zinchenko(who sucks) Get it right.

Coman & Gnabry injured. Alphonso suspended. Leroy Sane a doubt. Arsenal is winning this game tonight. I'm a City fan here in South Africa.

Complete anyone reading this your struggling has ended, with king life you are blessed, mercy ,Favour and grace will always follow you,Amen.❤

They've hardly bottled the league, they've lost once this year. Probably just themselves too much to do for the second half of the season.

Arsenal has been presented and has been praised as this brilliant team and this City and Liverpool side is not as good has they were in the past there not winning the league against a good Chelsea Liverpool and Man u teams in the past… Lets be honest all the praise for Odegard Saka Gabriel and Arteta there still not proven

Arsenal are coming up against the greatest coach in history and one of the greatest teams. Arsenal have shown they can beat City but they haven't shown they have the same consistency or mentality, yet!

Arsenal fan here lasts year we 100% bottled it but ! But this year it’s close between three teams .

Arsenal were a mess when Arteta came, in so much dead wood then the issues with Ozil and Aubameyang. Competing against city, a club ran by a nation state under 115 charges is crazy. Sure 5 years is a long time but you have City, Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, Spurs all beliving they deserve to win the league. Not to mention Villa and Newcastle getting stronger. The amount of time is irrelevent at this stage, nobody should expect or deserve any silverware. While city are a force it could be 10 years and it still wouldn't be a failure.

If liverpool and arsenal have bottled it, what has everyone else done? Laid down on their backs from the first hurdle?
