This is brilliant. It's the Anatomy of a Bottle Job from tickerscricket. Are Arsenal bottling it? Did Spurs bottle it? What's a bottling and what's a mere cock-up? There are eight factors...
When not pointing and laughing at Frank Lampard or whatever it is Spurs are currently doing to themselves, English football is currently consumed by one subject: are Arsenal bottling it or not?
The flipside of this is that if you can do your bottling early enough you can often get away with it. Chelsea themselves are fine examples of the genre. Sure, Gerrard’s slip and Demba Ba etc and forth, but Chelsea should have been far more than chaos agent in that title chase. They were seven points clear at one point, albeit with some games-in-hand chicanery involved, but dropped off the pace less hilariously and noticeably to finish four and two points behind City and Liverpool.
But aside from the occasional acknowledgement of The Pressure – and even then often framed in bottlish terms of Succumbing To – it seems to get relatively little traction.Our theory, despite our attempt to codify things here, is that bottling and what does or does not constitute a bottling is far more art than science and a big part of it is about whether other clubs’ fans are going to be in any way inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.
It really doesn’t matter whether the moment is actually that pivotal or significant. Only that it be memorable and part of a wider collapse for a team in need of the Heimlich manoeuvre.Confirmation bias is a real and powerful thing. If you are, for instance, a club whose name has literally become a byword for bottling stuff, then it won’t take much for it to surface. And with Arsenal we are already in their second bottling of this title race, which is rare.
