Stan Collymore has accused Arsenal of ‘choking’ in the run-in — just as he predicted they would.
The Gunners were many people’s favourites to claim the fourth and final Champions League spot a couple of weeks ago given their good form and the fact they had at least one game, and in some cases two games, in hand on rivals Tottenham, Manchester United and West Ham. However, ahead of their clash with Southampton, defeats by Crystal Palace and Brighton in the space of six days completely changed the complexion of the race for the top four.
And Mirror Sport columnist Collymore reckons he could see Arsenal bottling it a mile off because they simply don’t have the squad depth to compete with the Premier League ’s other bigger clubs. “Arsenal fans, I told you,” said the former Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa striker.
