Utter nonsense.
If we had been awarded the correct decisions earlier in the season - and, I hasten to add, converted the consequent penalties - we would have been far enough clear for our recent slump in form to have been irrelevant.

All football fans are unbearable and ours are no different.
I love football but hate the bitterness and bile and paranoia that goes with it.
That is why I much prefer the company of rugby and cricket fans.

Yep, I know all that, and Iām as big a believer as anyone that weāve been fucked over numerous times.
But, with 8 games to goā¦
ā¦we bottled it.
I still donāt accept your premise - no team can be perfect throughout the season - but letās play hypotheticals. If we have bottled it, doesnāt f that fall on Jurgen and the coaching team for not keeping the players motivated and sharp?

Really?
If our players need to be kept motivated and sharp, with a possible league title only 8 games away, then we really are in a worse place than we thought.
Certainly feels like bottling it to me. Our form has fallen off a cliff edge the last 6 weeks or so.
I donāt see it as a case of bottling. More likely fatigue and injuries finally catching up with the team.

Starting players in the games where we dropped 8 points against Palace, Everton & West Ham were arguably our strongest.
Fatigue wise, we had played more games than Palace & Everton, but probably a similar amount to West Ham.
Im not buying the fatigue or injury line, especially Palace and Everton.
They clesrly wanted it more, and that is down to attitude and work rate.
Its not pleasant saying it about my own team, but with a major prize in sight, we bottled it.
With 8 games to go the cheapest assembled team in the title race, who finished 5th last season, failed to hold a 2 point lead over a sportswashing empire. What a bunch of cowards.

And West Ham have themselves probably underperformed this seasonā¦
Itās not just a question of the fatigue being a physical thing , but a mental one. Much more is expected of us than those other clubs you list.
One thing to remember is we have had a significant change in some personnel this season so for example, our midfield will not have been used to the levels expected from them.
Praying Spurs pull off the Spursiest of all Spursies tonight and let City put 8 past them.
To sit and soak up all the Arsenal rage and fury when they fall short yet again will be a moment to behold. Been too comfortable the last 7-8 years sitting back doing all the laughing whilst bigging up Arteta to outdo what Klopp has done, to fuck with that shit, so now the shoe is on the other foot weāll see just how comfortable they are.

Quite a lot of guys.
Most of my friends in India are Arsenal fans having started watching football in the 2000s
And their unbearableness only started when they got Arteta as their coach.
Iām not going to go there and say weāve bottled it.
We have been screwed over by the officials. We would have been in the title race otherwise.
But that said , there can be no justification for the piss poor results against United (Home and away) , Everton, West ham and crystal palace.

Wow.
I find myself wanting City to cheat their wins over the next 3 games in a row.
Thanks Liverpool.
Atmosphere in the ground tonight will be interesting, Ange looks like heās gone in to pack the midfield and hit Johnson/Son on counters.
Pity the poor Arsenal fans, frantically pulling for Spursā¦but knowing, well, itās Tottenham.
