Arsenal bids farewell to 'bottler' label and Pep Guardiola with Premier League title forged in response to both

Not only have soccer fans heard the word surrounding Arsenal by now, they’ve surely heard it hundreds of times.

Yahoo Sports

“Bottle.” As in, to fumble away a golden opportunity through your own incompetence. “Choke” being the closest analog in American sports parlance.

The Gunners finished second the past three seasons in a row, allowing Manchester City to hunt them down the first two and then floundering as Liverpool took the crown many expected to be theirs last season. It almost became intrinsic to Arsenal, in the minds of soccer fans and media and maybe even players themselves, this idea that what bottlecapped Mikel Arteta’s project was not down to talent or resources, but to mentality and weakness in the most pressure-packed of moments.

It sure seemed headed that way again in late April when Arsenal lost at City, failing to win for a fifth time in six games across all competitions. City erased a nine-point gap in the table on Arsenal in just over a month. The Gunners were bottling it again.

Midfielder Declan Rice, arguably Arsenal’s best player, was glimpsed moments after the loss telling teammates “it’s not done.” At the time, it seemed like he was trying to convince himself the inevitable wouldn’t happen.

As of Tuesday, it proved prophetic.

City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth to render Arsenal mathematically uncatchable atop the Premier League table heading into the final weekend, andgiving Arsenal its long-awaited first league title in 22 years.

Arsenal’s evolution spurred by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City

Since that loss to City, Arsenal has won four in a row in the league and advanced to the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years, dispatching Atlético Madrid over two legs. Moreover, the Gunners conceded just once over those six games, a penalty at the cauldron-like Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.

That’s a distinct element of the Arsenal that Arteta yearned to build ever since his appointment as manager in December 2019 — and one that was in direct response toCity’s outgoing manager, Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola spent a decade changing the face of the Premier League through expansive, innovative tactics and expensive, intense team-building. He was constantly evolving City, with players popping up in different spots and serving different roles and driving the rest of the league up the wall trying to defend it. Arteta saw it firsthand, spending over three years as Guardiola’s chief assistant before taking the top job at Arsenal, where he played the final five seasons of his career.

City won the league six times in seven seasons under Guardiola with unconscionable point totals (three for a win, one for a draw, none for a loss). Its 100 points to win the title in 2017-18 remain a record to this day, while Liverpool’s 97 a year later (City had 98) is by far the most ever by a league runner-up. For reference, the maximum number of points a Premier League team can earn is 114.

There was unconscionable financial backing, too, that comes with a caveat.City isstillfacing an unprecedented 115 chargesof breaching FIFA’s financial fair play (FFP) rules from 2009-2018, and while the details are somewhat convoluted, the simple allegations accuse City of false accounting and improper disclosure of financial figures that helped it spend much more money on players than other clubs. Scores of clubs have been punished with point deductions and such for related but far lesser offenses, while City’s case has been stuck in limbo for over three years.

That won’t be re-litigated in this space, because as it directly relates to Arsenal’s Premier League title this season, the task of unseating Guardiola’s City was simple. And staggering, even for a super-rich club like Arsenal.

How Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal endeavored to return to the top of the Premier League

Instead of trying to beat City at its own game, Arteta sought toconstrictthe game. It would be both wrong and unfair to characterize Arteta’s tactics over the years as negative soccer, or dark arts-y in totality. But they certainly desired to control possession, build chances through intricate passing sequences, and master rest defense (i.e. when you’re out of possession).

Look at three of Arsenal’s last four Premier League victories, all 1-0s that perhaps belied how much the Gunners were really in control each time. It wouldn’t always be pretty and free-flowing exclusively attack-minded, but it would be effective.

It’s a far cry from the mess Arteta inherited, with Arsenal trending toward mid-table finishes on an annual basis and wholly unfit to challenge for the two biggest trophies on offer to English clubs, the Premier League and Champions League. A former Arsenal captain himself, Arteta made the most out of his limited abilities through work rate and smarts, and he sought to imprint such qualities on his sides.

First, he needed the squad to do it, and Arsenal underwent a series of key changes in that regard. Together with club sporting directors Edu and Andrea Berta — the latter the first ever in the club’s history — as well as academy director Per Mertesacker, a longtime Arsenal defender who joined the club on the same day as Arteta in late August 2011, Arteta identified the players needed to contend, and Arsenal’s ownership opened up the checkbook.

Nobody can realistically outspend City, but Stan Kroenke, who owns the Gunners in addition to the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, NBA’s Denver Nuggets and NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, has smashed club transfer records the past few years.Twelve of Arsenal’s 20 most expensive signings ever play for the 2025-26 team,including seven of the top 10 and four of the top five. So through player development and shrewd transfer market spending, Arsenal built a squad capable of restoring glory.

Arsenal doesn’t win the Premier League this season without failure

That took time, probably more time than is typically allotted to projects nowadays in major club soccer, and didn’t begin yielding true dividends until the 2022-23 campaign, when a number of promising youngsters came of age. Arsenal’s youth showed late, winning just three times in its final nine league matches and ceding the title to City despite having spent 30 of 38 matchweeks in first place.

The following campaign, Arsenal finished on an absolute tear, winning 16 times in its last 18 games, picking up 49 of a possible 54 points from late January on. They finished second again, as City didn’t lose any of its final 23 matches.

Last season, injuries piled up at a ridiculous clip, and Liverpool’s veteran stars turned back the clock to cruise relatively unencumbered to a second Premier League title in five years. Arsenal finished second once again.

Call all that “bottling” if you’d like. More accurately, it’s just the scars you have to earn before the trophies come.

Winning the Premier League takes a mixture of talent, planning, timing and good fortune. It’s not about beating all the other best teams — indeed, Arsenal’s record against the other clubs at the top of the table this season isn’t as sterling as it’s been in recent years — or catching fire over a single postseason.

It’s about 38 battles played out over nearly 10 months, home and away at every club in the league, the same points available to everyone else, with their attendant ups and downs and triumphs and setbacks and navigation of both the outside noise and the inside nerves.

After their meeting in April, Arsenal negotiated it all better than City, which suffered two critical draws to help the Gunners get over the finish line.

Arsenal may not have done it in a style that appeases neutrals, and certainly not with City’s flair. But it has done it nonetheless, the culmination of a yearslong project, the “bottler” label now bottled up forever.

“Summer House” Finale: Kyle Cooke Sobs as Amanda Batula Asks for Time Apart, Leaves Hamptons Separately

Warning: This post contains spoilers for theSummer Houseseason 10 finale

NEED TO KNOW

  • During the season 10 finale, Kyle Cooke tries to speak with his then-wife, Amanda Batula, about his behavior during the cast's final weekend in the Hamptons

  • But Amanda spends the last day distancing herself from Cooke

  • She finally speaks with him after the housemates leave, and says she needs time apart to address their relationship issues

Amanda Batulafinally tellsKyle Cookeshe wants time away from him during theSummer Houseseason 10 finale.

The former couple's relationship is at the forefront of the episode, opening with Kyle, 43, chatting with housemateCiara Millerabout his arguments with Amanda,Carl Radke,andLindsay Hubbardduring the previous night's dinner.

"I'm not gonna lie, I don't know how to process what we talked about on the beach. I just felt hurt and very scared for the future," he told Ciara, 30.

"I hear you. I hear the things you are upset about," Ciara replied, with Kyle interjecting to say, "I don't feel like anybody hears me. I don't even know how to explain where I'm coming from anymore." Ciara then told the Loverboy founder that he doesn't "know how to express" himself.

Kyle replied, "Well, when your life is being blown up at the seams, you're not going to react well, and that's how I felt all summer long." Ciara then retorted, saying that he's "created irreparable damage through the process" of yelling at Carl, and screaming "F--- you" to the housemates. "Your words do hold weight, and a lot of people get in your crossfire, i.e., Carl, about what you're actually mad about," she said.

"It makes it hard to be your friend. I'm not saying it from a place of judgment," she said, explaining she's having this conversation with him because she wants Kyle and Amanda to be happy individuals. "No one is rooting for you guys to get divorced. No one is rooting for you guys to separate. But I want you guys to have a productive relationship. I want you to be able to exhale," she said.

Kyle then reached for her hand and apologized. Ciara then advised him to find Amanda at the party and apologize for his behavior the previous night.

As the party progresses, Kyle makes a few attempts to pull Amanda aside and follow Ciara's advice, but Amanda keeps getting pulled away. She explained in her confessional that she wasn't ignoring him, but she just "didn't feel like arguing with him anymore." Amanda noted that they've "had these conversations before," and sometimes she'll get an apology, but "he will do it again."

After realizing Amanda was avoiding him, Kyle sought comfort from Lindsay, 39, and explained that he was trying to apologize. While Lindsay commends him for trying, she explained that if Amanda doesn't want to have a conversation, he should respect that.

"I just ruined the last weekend of summer. It's not the greatest feeling in the world," Kyle said in his confessional. "I'm kinda scared about what she's going to say. What are we going to do? Have another conversation about how to recover from this? I feel like I just gave her everything she needed to kind of walk out the door."

Amanda then thanked Ciara and Mia Calabrese for their support and for saying what Amanda is thinking but doesn't say out loud. "You're never saying anything I don't actually feel."

Ciara consoled her, saying that they just want her to be happy. But Amanda replied, "I fear that I'm not enough for anyone else." Mia and Ciara quickly interjected to refute it, with Ciara saying, "That's a confidence thing."

Teary-eyed, Amanda said she doesn't want to them to keep consoling her. "Someone has to," Ciara replied, "Because you're f---ing off your rocker. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm getting tired of this s---. If you want me to stop handling you with kid gloves, I f---ing will." She added, "If you want to go, just tell me when."

"You are in charge of your life. You have to let it stop happening to you," Ciara continued. "You need to let this motherf---er know you are serious."

At the same time, Kyle confides inBen Waddell, saying that he wasn't doing well because he hadn't seen his wife. "This is the grave I've dug," he told Ben. "I thought I was going to have the chance to talk to Amanda tonight, but I don't think she wants to talk to me."

Once he decides to head over to speak with her, Mia and Ciara continue urging her to live alone and "put on [her] big girl pants." But Amanda proposes that the group make their annual jump in the pool, and Kyle tries one more time to talk to her. But Amanda simply said, "No, we can talk tomorrow."

Cutting to Kyle's confessional, he begins to cry, saying, "It's been 10 years. I feel like the severity of my actions has just compounded and thrown a wrench in things. It could potentially lead to us not coming back as a couple. A lot of memories. It's just been weighing down on me because I don't want what we have here to just all of a sudden disappear."

As the night begins to come to a close and the housemates return from their night at the bars, Ciara and West Wilson rekindle, just weeks after they agreed to be friends. The pair share a kiss. As they embrace, Kyle andJesse Solomonreturn home and witness their connection.

The next morning, when all of the housemates are packing up, Kyle made one last-ditch effort to chat with Amanda, but she told him, "You woke up [yesterday morning] and didn't acknowledge anything, and like when about your day." Kyle then expressed that he thought they would have the opportunity to talk "about the bigger picture."

Once all the housemates had said their tearful goodbyes to one another, including Amanda and Ciara, the latter of whom said, "I love you," and reminded Amanda that her "voice matters."

Amanda then headed over to Kyle, who was packing up his DJ equipment, and asked to talk. The couple walked together to the house entrance, and Kyle shared that his conversation with Ciara about a separation was what triggered his behavior. Amanda clarified that she's had that same conversation with Ciara, but was only considering separation "if it gets to that point one day," telling Ciara that she and Kyle were "in a good place."

She said "things were moving in the right direction," but when Kyle tried to fight Carl and told her "F--- you," she got scared. "We've spent so much time together, not summers in the Hamptons, literally the past 10 years of our lives have been here growing up," she continues.

"We've been through so much together," she said, adding from infidelity rumors to their engagement and wedding. "We've done it all, and it's been so amazing, and also really f---ing hard."

"We've had some of the best memories, but also some of the absolute worst. I feel like leaving here this weekend, I want to close that chapter and like start over, whatever that looks like for us," she said, with Kyle replying, he's scared and doesn't know what to do.

Amanda explained that something has to change, and they "need some time apart right now." She said she's going to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights, explaining, "because something is fundamentally wrong in our relationship, and it needs to change."

She said her decision to take time apart is her attempt to start figuring out what is going on in their relationship. Kyle replied, "I just feel like everything I put my heart and soul into the relationship, everything just feels like it's tumbling." Amanda explained that she still wants to support, help, and protect Kyle, but their "relationship is what needs to be nurtured and protected and helped."

"I can't be like just looking out for you anymore. I need to look out for me," she said, before concluding they'll see each other in therapy in the coming days. The pair pack up their bags, say goodbye to the house and to each other, then drive separately back to the city.

Summer Houseseason 10 airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and is available to stream the next day on Peacock.
