[Mo Britain]

Last time a team won this competition and got relegated was when Birmingham beat us in the final.

Last time we won this competition, Tony Adams broke a Northern Irishman's arm

Don't tempt me.

 

[Riou]

Only domestic trophy I haven't seen us win, that we can play for...would like to see it in my time as a fan.

There's always next season. Unless we all get the Black Death or something

If the kids play we might actually win. At least they have some pride

 

[Mo Britain]

I think he should play a young team with some players who need game time. If we win or if we have some good performances it may give us options. Losing with our first team has a double negative because then they will be tired for the weekend game and lose that too.

Remember Fulham got a point today, they're only 4 behind now. Brighton are 3 points behind with a game in hand and same goal difference. Burnley are four points behind but with two games in hand. Don't tell me we are not, at the moment, in a developing relegation fight.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

A nothing game if ever there was one.

 

[RandomHero84]

Honestly don't give a ****.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

If Balogun starts, I want him to play well, score and for us to win. If he doesn't play, then turn out the lights and come back after Christmas.

 

[Red London]

Don’t care.

 

[shoot for the top]

We are going to see two teams pass it sideways and backward. Nice.

 

[RunTheTrap]

You know damn well Arteta will completely galaxy brain this and put Willian at false nine with Auba at RWB while Elneny plays at 10. Honestly, there’s something about Pep that brings out the worst in Arteta. He can’t beat him in a normal way instead it has to be the most elaborate plan to really show off his IQ

 

[EinmalImmerEwig]

Play the kids in this one and tell them to get in their faces.
Plenty of reducers in the first 20 mins. Show No Respect!
Tell the youth that yellow and red cards will not be fined internally.

Stamp our authority on this game - literally!
Make this game a blood-bath.
End the game with claret everywhere.

**** Citeh, **** Pep, **** the Carabao Cup

 

[krengon]

Perfect chance for Saliba to get a chance and prove himself.

 

[Multipass]

Also don’t care. Play some players that haven’t featured (Balogun, Martinelli, saliba) so we have someone to cheer for. The “first” 11 can’t get up for a premier league match. There’s no hope they raise their level for second tier cup.

 

[rich 1990]

People don't care, eh? When we're 8-0 down inside an hour, i don't expect any complaints or whinging then.

 

[samshere]

By the look of things we'll have to win one of this or the FA cup to get entry into Europa again.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Imagine if we play this well create chances score but then going against Chelsea do the same BS we been doing in PL you'll get to wonder if it's becoming more of mentality problem from these players

 

[Atlas]

2 games away from the final. Winning this would actually make it a good season as long as we don’t get relegated.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

By the look of things we'll have to win one of this or the FA cup to get entry into Europa again.

Entering europa mean all these bums will want to stay missing out Europe mean less game time and forcing us to trim the wagebill
