It'll be tough, but as Henry IV says, it will be good experience for our youngsters.

does anyone else see this as a really ****ty draw? why exactly do we always get stuck with Prem teams in the cup competitions?

We don't always get stuck with Prem teams. Look at the Carling and FA Cups from the past couple of years. I don't think that's been the case.
Yeah, it sucks cause if Man. City field their best squad, they'll probably beat us. Cause nobody in the starting 11 will play against them. Wenger has made it clear he will play the young players only. He really doesn't care if we win or lose.
The shame is these guys will probably only get one match to play....unless they all have the game of their lives. I highly doubt our second team will beat Man. City's first team.

in last year's fa cup all our opponents were prem teams.
man city will be tough for a youth squad, even if is arsenal's. however, this is good challenge for them. this is the chance for the likes of pennant and robin van persie to show their true mettle. IF they can get through city with a very young squad surely even wenger's head will turn in their direction.

We have a very talented yuoungster. Yes we might lose to Man City but Man City is not a consistent performer. Or maybe Keegan won;t be around this time

Here we go again. Why does it seem like we're always drawing teams that we're going to meet in the EPL at the same time? Last season was Boro. Now Manc. Ah well, couldn't really care about the Carling Cup anyway. Stretches our team too thin if we were to go for all competition.

I reckon it'll be a bloody ripper of a game. We got some class youth, and im not totally sure Man City will field their strongest team, but it'll definately be stonger than ours. We'll have some experience there, like Cygan and maybe a senior midfielder like Edu will play, so i doubt we'll be ALL youngsters.
And i dont know if there was a thred about this before, but I'll just say it here. Its good to see John Spicer have a hand in knocking out Blackburn from the Cup. Hope he does a good job there.

I think most people felt Wolves' first team would win at Highbury last year and our mixture of youth and reserve team players beat them 5-1! So all is not lost.
Still Citeh are the favourites and will most likely win, I was hoping for a home draw against a non Premiership team to get our confidence up and set us on the way for another run.
Ah well, least Sp**s have a tough draw at Bolton!

A good run in Carling cup will booast the morale of the lads & show us what they can do...
With the likes of Van persie, Fabregas, Pennant... i would not rule out on our chances...
Imagine Arsenal B team won the carling cup... how awesome!!~ ;D

I wouldnt be so **** sure about this draw...especially cause its away from home. I really dont think we will be able to handle the likes of wright phillips and anelka with cygan and senderos as centre backs because they dont have the pace.
We'll just have to see what team wenger puts out there.I also dont want to see cesc play, id rather he saved his energy for the league and fa cup especially if that thug joey barton is playing...you just know hes gonna go in two footed on one of our players...
