Is Bottling in Football REAL?
What is a bottle? Many have accused Arsenal of ritually chucking away the Premier League for a few years now. But is that fair? Are they serial chokers limited by their own shortcomings? Or are they just unfortunate to be chased by a Man City juggernaut every year? Arsenal aren't the only ones to throw it away, either. Our guys have all experienced soccer trauma with their teams falling short over the years. Raheemovic, Corbin Mills and Tom Hindle get in to some personal trauma in a ragebait-y exploration of football's most overused term. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
