Raconteur Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Can we nip the media hype that Arse plays kids in the cup as it makes out like he is sending academy kids out. The last team they played in the cup Polish international GK Ivory coast international £8.45 million CB Switzerland international England international LB Former Brazilian U20 captain England international CM French international Czech international England U21 player Mexican international (when he is not banned) OK then, he rests some first-teamers and bloods some youngsters. It's clear he doesn't send out a bunch of 14 year olds and go "pass them to death you fuckers!" I think the side against Spurs was a tad stronger than people imagined, because it was Spurs. I'm sure I read somewhere that the reason Arsenal sent out a "stronger than usual" team against Spuds was not so much because of the derby, but because many of the youngsters he would have used are injured, and thus Wenger played first teamers out of necessity... EDIT: Here it is Yet Wenger, despite this win, denied he has altered his stance on prioritising and said that an injury crisis forced his hand into fielding players he would prefer to have rested. "I maintain that the Champions League and the Championship are the big competitions that really count but I want to win every single game," he said. "We have a momentum going and it's important not to interrupt it. I have so many players with injuries but if everyone is fit we can go for every competition." http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=825678&sec=england&root=england&cc=3436 Having said that, reading the whole article gives Wenger's motives a different perspective - and it's one backed up by Rosicky in this article: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=826138&sec=england&cc=3436&cc=3436 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 These cup draws are getting more than sickening though aren't they? It seems like every year we draw a top 4 side. At least were not away from home which gives us a little grain of hope I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 to be honest some internet nerd with time on his/her hands should look into this: has any other club in say the last 20 years consistently drawn such difficult opposition as NUFC in both domestic cups? i'd truly be interested to know, might be a bit hard to judge but honestly this particular one is fucking ridiculous - beat the reigning champions on their ground and get rewarded with arsenal teams outwith the top 2/3/4 usually thrive on the 'one big win' to make it and win a surprise, what fucking chance do we have we these draws?

timeEd32 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Will Fabregas be back/be coming back for this match? Should be back well before. They have three matches that week, plus CL before and after. Doubt he will play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Welcome to the forums, Stokie (had no idea we had a Stoke fan!). I'd be OK with the same team against Chelsea playing against Arsenal. I think we'd get beat either way, but it'd be decent to see our fringe players in more competitive football.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Certainly don't want to get relegated at any cost to be honest, for so many reasons.
