I disagree shaner, people say if we dont want to win cups why play in them, then other people say we dont give youth a chance. Its a squad game these days, and while im not bothered if we go out, i want us to win everything we enter. Playing the carling cup gives us a chance to give our youngsters first team games to make it easier for them to come into the team when needed in the league. Im sure wenger wants to win the carling cup, but out of the four tournaments we are in, it comes a clear fourth...

It is officially 144 days since you last kicked a ball browny. You almost kicked one on november 23rd, but it took an ackward boounce, hit your flag and went in the river.
