I swear Arsenal players get a "mental strength top top qualideez" chip implanted in them upon signing for the club......the parameters of the chip involve how much pressure is on us & how well we play, along with how much of "ze qualidee mental strengthz" we show. It's the only explanation for how often & the similarity in it no matter the situation.
Once pressure is on we play like twats.....the EXACT moment pressure is off us we play champaign football.
See the similarity in times today......yes we were 1-0 up, but we looked horrid at that point in the match against a Villa side that actually felt like showing up today, then Newcastle go up 3-1 on the Spuds & we instantly look like world beaters, raping Villas goal bc that pressure of finishing below that lot with the chicken logo was off thanks to Newcastle.
This is only 1 time we have seen this implanted "mental strength top top qualideez" chip used, another would be the annual 1st leg thrashings in the Champions League where the pressure is ON.........then once the 2nd leg begins the chip activates bc the chances of us progressing are impossible so the pressure is OFF & we play very well once again & go out with a "glorious failure".
