Mikel Arteta hits back at ‘bottlers’ tag as Arsenal tense for title again

Arsenal are fighting for the Premier League title but their results in recent weeks have been very mediocre.

They have dropped some points in recent weeks (just two wins in their last seven league games) and understandably there has been speculation about their ability to get over the line. There are claims that Arsenal could snatch the league title again after recently dropping points against bottom-of-the-table Wolves.

Mikel Arteta tags in for Bottlers

Asked about the possibility of a Bottlers tag ahead of his pre-match press conference, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta declined to take the question, saying the word was not part of his vocabulary and he was not concerned about tags.

Mikel Arteta said of the bottler tag: “I don’t think of it that way because it’s not part of my vocabulary and I don’t think anyone would want to do that as an intention, but I don’t want to use that word, but that’s who I am.”

Can Arsenal win the title?

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can bounce back strongly and get a win here. They have a formidable team and are doing very well overall. They need to be more consistent if they want to win the league title. Manchester City are breathtaking and have a wealth of experience winning the league. Arsenal need to get their squad together if they want to beat Manchester City and Josep Guardiola to the title.

Liverpool and Manchester City haven’t been at their best this season. This is a great chance for Arsenal to win the league title and return to the top of English football. We cannot afford to fail at this stage of the season. They’ve come close to that gap in recent seasons and are hoping to finally get over the line.
