West Brom?!
The Universe is out to get Arteta this season.

Wenger would play 11 teenagers. Teta won’t even rotate.
Not sure Sky would allow it. Besides, we'll be playing this game 48 hours after Chelsea at home so it evens out.Can they move that Friday game? Seems well unfair
On hearing that Arsenal have been drawn away to West Bromwich Albion in the 2nd Round of the Carabao Cup, took me back to a League Cup game that I went to in 2006.
Tuesday 24th October 2006. Carling Cup 3rd Round.
West Bromwich Albion 0 - 2 Arsenal
Living in Worcestershire, The Hawthorns is not too far away, just up the M5. Turning off at Junction 1, the ground is not far on the right hand side. I parked in one of the industrial estates not far from The Hawthorns. This is a ground that I have been to a few times before. I used to work with someone who is a WBA Supporter. Went with him during the 1990's. I did go on my own to watch a random game, WBA Vs Charlton Athletic, (Premier League). This is when Charlton had Darren Bent, Danny Murphy etc.View attachment 4014
At this time, WBA were a Championship Club managed by Tony Mowbray. They had quite a good team with players:- ex Gooner John Hartson, Zoltan Gera, Kevin Phillips, Curtis Davies, Chris Perry.

I can remember before the game, seeing the Arsenal players warming up. Emmanuel Adebayor doing ball skills, and Theo Walcott warming up. Arsenal won the tie 2 - 0, Jeremie Alladiere scoring both of the goals.
I can remember driving back home from the ground, listening to 'Talksport'. An Arsenal fan was complaining about Denilson. He said something along the lines of Denilson looked like a Supporter who had won a prize to play in this game.
He used to attack with Squillaci, Djourou an Santos in the back line. Even bigger balls.This was the season we made it to the final and Wenger played the kids Vs a full strength Chelsea side in the final.
He didn't lack balls Wenger.
