Arsenal fans may see it as a sign of irreverence. For many others, the Arsenal “bottle” trend has always been peak football banter for years. With recent poor results in England, the raillery has come back in full force, and the Gunners’ recent loss against Manchester City has only fanned the flames.

Just last month, it seemed like Arsenal were set to win their first league title in 22 years due to their 10-point margin over Man City. Now, a win on Wednesday would send City to the top of the league.

To make matters worse, Arsenal also lost the Carabao Cup final against City, were knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton, and will now have to face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.

This season looked so promising for Arsenal, but there’s a larger possibility than ever that they’ll finish trophyless once again, much to the delight of bantering football fans across the world.
