Big Geordie Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Are Arsenal TV not representative of most Arsenal fans? Some gooners elsewhere are maintaining that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Think the mantra that Arsenal have bottled top four is really weird considering they were never clear of 5th and weren’t ever considered a proper contender pre-season. They’ve done well, I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disappointment probably comes from the fact they had CL qualification in their hands and couldn't see it through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottling it is too strong probably, but I think it's fair to say it was their's to lose. Still a good season for them, but also a missed opportunity to do even better.

Expectations as well....we're just not allowed to have them beyond being safe of relegation. Never mind it'll be 7 into 6/5 in a few seasons ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 They looked like they were going to do it quite comfortably with the fixtures they had left until that Monday night game against Palace when they were absolutely diabolical and got thumped.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Best performance of the season. Apart from a loose ball in our box I don't remember Arsenal troubling us in our third. First half we pummelled them and overall we should've scored more. Must be a while since we've had more possession against one of the "big 6" over 90 minutes. Brilliant day and I'm hanging once again. Fuck sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Excellent performance and result, really. Couple of things that have probably been mentioned, 2nd half Arsenal had a chance and 3 newcastle players threw themselves at the ball and blocked the effort. Shows the commitment and will to win or at the least try to preserve the clean sheet that we have now. But also noticed when Trippier was warming up 2nd half, Arsenal had a flurry of 2 or 3 corners and Trippier clearly stood in line with the box, but marshalling and organising from the touchline. Just brilliant. Not even on the pitch, but being an influence. Give him the armband next season. Edited May 17, 2022 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 They've bottled it aye. There's reasons for it. They aren't actually that good and have injuries. They needed 6 points from their final 3 games to secure 4th and they failed by game 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottling it is too strong probably, but I think it's fair to say it was their's to lose. Still a good season for them, but also a missed opportunity to do even better. This is it. I hate the “bottled it” trope in general, but the reason it’s being trotted out here is nothing to do with pre-season expectations and everything to do with the last few weeks. The funny thing is that the benefit of hindsight makes their performance look worse. Perhaps expectations should have been higher. They spent oodles of cash, didn’t have to worry about Europe at all and their manager had a couple of years to bed in. Of the seven teams that finished above them last year, Man U imploded from the top down, Leicester and West Ham were clearly held back by playing in Europe and Spurs sacked their manager in October. If they don’t make the CL it’s clearly a missed opportunity. Look at the BBC predictions: https://www.givemesport.com/1737506-man-city-man-utd-liverpool-chelsea-who-will-make-the-premier-league-top-four-in-2122 Not a single pundit predicted Spurs or Arsenal in the top 4 - out of 20. Then look at those fan videos from last night. It’s not just the media calling them “bottlers”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Arsenal don't really look or play like a top 4 side tbh, they look like a bunch of talented youngsters doing reasonably well. I know they've spent plenty of money, but their biggest stars, Aubemyang and Lacazette aren't even playing. When they played Spurs last week, did anyone really fancy them?

I think they've overachieved this season all things considered, I don't think anyone had them down as serious contenders for the top 4. They could do with getting rid of shite like Xhaka for starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I don't think they bottled it, there wasn't anything particularly gutless about the way they play that I've seen from countless Arsenal teams before, but they definitely look like they've run out of steam, had key injuries at the worst time, and have been punished for not making the signings to mitigate for those things in January Edited May 17, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
