Do we bottle the big games ?

[Allezfan]

We've lost 23 of our last 30 games away at arsenal and won only 1.

They're officially the team who we have the worst record against of anyone we've played more than 4 times.

Am I right in thinking Ian Wright scored more against us than any other team?

He got 15 against us, so probably.

Les fecking Ferdinand got 16 vs us. Shearer 18. And Rush 26.

God but the early 90s were grim.

Time to bring up this one back up again?

(It's still no, this one game wasn't any more important then the 7 prior to it. We're just not good enough to win 8 games in a row, it has nothing to do with the pressure.)

Exactly. There's no point trying to reason with people who'll claim we bottled it tonight.

Pretty much all our players had an off night after a superb run of results including beating Arsenal and Sunderland to go into 4th place.

[Poor language removed] happens, simple as that.

Nothing more than a few bad selections and a few off days that! That said I'm not convinced the whole team are as mentally strong as say, Chelsea.

can't say we've bottled it after 7 wins on the bounce and the arsenal game, which was arguably the most important one so far.

We were just awful tonight, looked like we turned up expecting to win automatically. Crystal Palace were a lot better.
