Alan Pardew, "over-committing" is not the only thing Arsenal "always" do. Look at this. This is the top of the EPL table at the end of last season:
Chelsea 87
City 79
Arsenal 75
So what happens this year? The two clubs that finish ahead of Arsenal...go away, Chelsea implodes from the beginning, are never a factor in the title, and Man City fades and isn't in it either.
This is manna if you're an arse! You don't have to be mentally-or physically-STRONG to win the league when the ONLY TWO teams ahead of you go away, you just can't do a Devon Loch!
Alan, you can tell your players that Arsenal is prone to doing a Devon Loch, too.
