Verbal Fireworks on talkSPORT: Liverpool Bottlers Debate…
Monday morning on talkSPORT saw Simon Jordan and Arsenal legend Martin Keown in a fresh spat over Liverpool’s recent Carabao Cup final mishap against Newcastle. The Reds seem to be collecting setbacks like they’re Pokemon cards, having also exited the Champions League, courtesy of PSG. Our Arsenal hero, Keown, cheekily nudged Jordan, suggesting he’d call Arsenal “bottlers” if they flubbed a week like this. “Would Arsenal be labeled bottlers if they messed up two big games back to back?” asked Keown with a knowing grin.
Jordan, the self-proclaimed Jedi Master of calling other teams bottlers, snapped back, defending his beloved label like a knight protecting his castle. He even dredged up Arsenal’s near-miss in the 2022-23 title race where they went from kings of the hill to stumbling princes behind Manchester City. With dramatic flair, Jordan argued, “If Arsenal loses it all, they’re bottlers. Liverpool still has a shot, so not yet!”
Their heated exchanges are a talkSPORT classic, with fiery verbal volleys dating back to Liverpool’s defeat by Atalanta in the Europa League. In true duo fashion, Keown questioned Liverpool’s bottling skills. At the same time, Jordan insisted they simply experienced a “bad performance,” adding, “Arsenal was in top spot but tripped like it was an Olympic event.” Exciting mornings on talkSPORT, folks!
