Simon Jordan Slams Arsenal Over Mentality: ‘They Bottled It Again!’
Simon Jordan never pulls punches, and after Arsenal’s 2–2 draw with Fulham, he went straight in. Speaking on TalkSport, he branded the Gunners as mentally weak, saying, “They’ve bottled it. Again. This is supposed to be a title contender?”
Arsenal dominated for much of the game but let a 2–1 lead slip in the final moments. A set-piece lapse, a soft clearance, and Fulham’s João Palhinha punished them. Jordan, of course, didn’t hold back.
“You don’t win titles being soft,” he ranted. “They’re flashy, but when it comes to grit and grind, they vanish.” He also took aim at Mikel Arteta’s substitutions, suggesting the boss “panicked” and disrupted the team’s flow.
Arsenal fans are divided. Some agree—this wasn’t the response of a team ready to dethrone City. Others say Jordan thrives on controversy. Maybe both are true. But one thing’s for sure: the next few fixtures will be a test of whether Arsenal have really grown since last season.
