Sure but without trying to take the piss the reason Spurs have had the label stick a lot easier is cause you win neither. The biggest game of their season was last Saturday and even with Evans's injury in the first half they won it. Obviously the ending to the league was disapppointing but you can't really be bottlers if you win your biggest game of the season. True enough and there's nothing I can say to that without looking like a chopper with double standards But to take this back to the other debate how many of those times Spurs didn't win a league or cup or finish in a CL place did they have it in their own hands or have any right to be talking about winning in the first place. You can't throw away something you never had a hold of Even the example Benneh is talking about and everyone always goes back to, Chelsea v Spurs in 2016 we had never been within six points (probably more than that I'm playing it safe) of the top of the league all season and were in second for a few weeks pretty much by default the way everyone else was dropping points. We were never in a title race but are constantly told we bottled a season we overachieved in. We didnt win or lose or throw anything away in that game, its a big derby and we had a squad packed with immature shitheads So the only things I can conclusively say about the concept of bottling is that the term has been overused to the point of no real meaning or impact and will probably only continue to exist to wrap a neat little bow on any bollocks opinion piece on Tottenham Not to drag this argument back up but we could have won that game against Chelsea 9-0 and both games after as well and it still would have made no fundamental difference to the result of our season

I specifically put title charge in quotation marks because I was fully aware of the relative lack of consequence of that game for what it’s worth. They didn’t bottle the title, never said they did. But they 100% bottled that game in the truest sense of the word, they completely lost their heads.
I abhor the expression because as has been discussed it’s just a buzzword for “lost a game” but that game springs to mind for me purely because of how viscerally you could see the team losing the plot

You could just imagine the raw emotion of Jamie Vardy, played by Zac Efron, breaking the consecutive goals record with an ensemble number in the dressing room after the game with Wes Morgan played by Daniel Kaluuya, Leo Ulloa played by Lou Diamond Phillips and Ranieri being played by Christoph Waltz. I’m all in honestly. Now my mind is racing and I’ve decided on my 2016 Leicester/England dream cast list Alexander Ludwig as Kasper Schmeichel Jason Statham as Mark Schwarzer Daniel Kaluuya as Wes Morgan Dolph Lundgren as Robert Huth Riz Ahmed as Danny Simpson Rob Mcelhenney as Christian Fuchs Benedict Cumberbarch as Danny Drinkwater Jamie Bell as Marc Albrighton Kevin Hart as N’Golo Kante Hasan Minhaj as Riyad Mahrez Zac Efron as Jamie Vardy Lou Diamond Phillips as Leonardo Ulloa Scarlett Johansson as Shinji Okazaki
Wyatt Russell as Harry Kane Wayne Rooney as himself A bag for life as Roy Hodgson

Jamie Vardy has the energy of a man who would accost you for a filter outside of spoons while holding an equally scruffy looking dog
There is nobody better placed to play him in 2021 than Macauley Culkin

Thomas Turgoose aka the kid out of This Is England is my wildcard.

Jordan Henderson is just an incredible success story. He should be celebrated the country over. What a man. sween might like this. The first half at least.

Was just about to come here and give the man a full essay about how much I love him but words can’t even do him justice. We have been blessed to have him as our captain these last 6 years.
En español: Joder, a veces realmente ojalá que Jordan Henderson sea mi hermano así después de Madrid y el partido de Chelsea y City el año pasado yo pudiera FaceTime con él y decir “estoy muy orgulloso de tu mi hermano, nos vemos pronto” pero pobre de mi nunca va a pasar. La gran tristeza de mi vida.
