    I can’t believe I’m still seeing fans act like we’re above competing in the carabao cup. I get that it’s on the lower list of priorities but it’s still a trophy. They’re no better than Robbie from AFTV with that stupid phrase “we’ve got bigger fish to fry’ .

      It’s a trophy, but it’s so minor that I don’t see the point. Why would we want to keep risking injuries and fatigue to compete on four fronts. I would much rather see us go one round further in the CL or stay competitive in the league for as long as possible. The FA cup is the real English cup trophy with a history and glory where it is worth to play our best players.

        That’s the consequence of being a big club. Competing on all fronts is the bare minimum for where the team is at now. Arteta and Edu have brought in what they deem as appropriate depth. If they’re not up to it, then that’s on them.

          We are still 2-5 years away from being this kind of club, we don’t have good enough bench players to compete on all four fronts
