Normally a match I look forward to, it's gonna be more of the same I fear.

 

[Rimaal]

Doubt it.

Alrighty, I hope he fields your team just so I can say I told you so.

 

[Tourbillion]

Kids today growing up equating Arsenal to the way I equated Coventry City and Bradford around the turn of the millennium.

We're irrelevant fodder.

 

[Baki]

I think we win. No way we lose this one. Even Mikel can pull a win here IMO.

 

[lamby22]

Oh for the days when we'd field young kids in this competition. Fabregas, Bellerin, Vela and Gnabry some of those who got their debuts in the league cup. Can't wait for Arteta to go full strength and try and grind out a 1-0 win.

Don't know if this is the last time we played West Brom in the cup and can't be arsed to check but I do remember this game and that kit was

Do you remember that game v West Brom were Santi dived to win a pen...****ing witch hunt for him after that match.

Not as funny as that time he chipped a pen down the middle v a young Newcastle keeper, and people genuinely said he should publicly apologize for doing it

@Macho

Imagine not thinking the media hates Arsenal, could never be us!

Yeah, in 12/13. Wenger even apologised for it but the media were still out for blood.

Probably lose this. He can hardly play the first team when they are being reserved for a hiding at the weekend, and the best young players we have are in the senior squad.

Expect the youngsters to freeze or be bullied into a defeat.

 

[Shadow Moses]

I expect the team to lose this as well.

I think we beat them. Mikel will play the first team and we did the double on them.

 

[Riou]

I would try and play a strong team here, tbh.

We are gonna lose, and lose heavily, to City whatever we do...may as well try and have a cup run.

He can’t risk losing this game. Downward spiral if that happens.

 

[krengon]

West brom will probably play their reserves too, nothing game.

 

[Maybe]

Never drop Xhaka attitude, love it!

 

[REWB]

No Balogan please, he's had enough chances.

 

[A_G]

No Balogan please, he's had enough chances.

He's played a whopping 70 minutes of PL football in his career.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We don't have strong team we'll go the game without Gabriel White Tierney Partey Laca and probably Auba start on bench.

Our 2nd team should beat Westbrom its all about to score goals if we can't score against Westbrom we may cancel the season. Only Ødegaard and Ramsdale debut to look forward here don't think there chance for youngster our squad still big so there chance of AMN and Nelson starting here

What a stupid post.

 

[rich 1990]

Willian, El Neny etc can't wait..

 

[AberGooner]

Long for the days we'd turn up with the kids and smash teams like this. I'll simply take a win here though.
