Parky Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Seriously guys get a grip. We should be looking forward to big games now. No need to fear anyone. The team will grow in confidence if we play well against the bigger sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 depends how busy arsenal main team are in preparing for a champions league match. The match is sandwiched between 2 Champions League matches so it should be a weakened Arsenal team. They're at home to Sevilla or AEK on Sept 19th and away to Steaua Bucharest on Oct 2nd. We'll probably play them on Sept 26th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Looking on the bright side, Arsenal will play their kids while we will put out the strongest team we can field, and Allardyce knows how to stifle Arsenal. We'll kick them all over the park and pump long balls to Viduka, hopefully their young 'uns won't like it and Wenger will have a good whinge afterwards while we hypocritically say the football wasn't that ugly. If this was at home I'd fancy us to turn over their kids but away it's going to be tough. We have to see it as a chance to knock out one of the big boys and stake our claim. Obviously I'd much rather get an easy home draw but the cup is rarely kind to us. I'm surprised we didn't get Chelsea again in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shevfa Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 We are more than capable to beat their 1st team at their stadium. Bring it on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 what's the rest of the draw?Manchester City v Norwich Where's that trophy smiley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 tbh the reserves are growing up and the difference between the kids and the reserves is becoming quite big in age gap i would expect though, to see a team like Almunia Hoyte - Nordveit - Song - Traore Walcott - Diarra - Denilson - Gibbs - Murphy - Bendtner Sam has tactis that have wound up your experinced players, it will be torture what we do these chaps with our players. The good thingh about last seasons run was, the reserves/kids whatever showed no fear, which i think we will need to try and be like again this season, but tbh, i see us getting knocked out That is tasty 3 in midfield Walcott - Diarra - Denilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Prefer to play the bigger sides now rather than get them in the semis or quaters and get them outta the way!I can see us drawning this game,does it go to a replay or extra time and pens?

Decky Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Surely this will be televised? it has to be the tie of the round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest exilim Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 We are winning that tie for sure if Arsenal is playing Steaua Bucharest on Oct 2nd. They wont field their full strength on 26th and i can see us beating them easily. Even if they field their first team, Van persie will get shiet all pissed by Cacapa.

Guest shearer_206 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't BSA got a good record against Arsenal. I put £20 on us to win this competition so I refuse to feel down about that draw. And anyway, they will probably have there second team out. Not that it will be easier, but you would think that, by September out players would have all adapted to the 4-3-3 etc. and we should be strong enough to cause them problems.

James Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 We have to beat the best teams to win something, so if we aren't up to it, we may as well go out early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, the only team Boro faced on their way to winning the Carling Cup was Arsenal reserves over two legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Arsenal now count Lassana Diarra amongst their youngsters, so he'll probably be included against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is the bigger teams are taking the Carling Cup more seriously nowadays, ever since Mourinho came in it's been getting more competitive every year and considering Liverpool won nothing last year you have to think they'll be going for it as well.

TRon Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 tough one for both sides, but as they will probably rest a few players, I think we'll come out on top. Arsene's boys don't like it up 'em and that's exactly where we'll put it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
