Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

The only worry I have is the ref. Just wondering how he'll try and fuck us over today.

No use in trying to divine that—the one thing Premier League referees excel at is finding novel ways of trying to do us.

this arsenal is the weakest arsenal for last 6-7 years. arsenal with shamakh and bendtner upfront was weaker. but this side is not good enough as you think. no worries.

I thought that last year...

Nothing else for me to do right now, as the missus is taking an age to get going this morning.

Just waiting for the Spurs match to come on so I can get a distraction from thinking about our match.

Hope we're both wrong

For those looking for some decent reading on their trip down (or just to distract them for a time; there are some nice little digs on Wenger sprinkled throughout):

Guardiola's use of Silva and De Bruyne is revolutionising English football

We will likely defend deep and look to release Aubameyang quickly on the break

I suspect that's the limit of our tactics today

Given your striker problems you're probably right.

So, what’re we giving as odds for Gabby on the bench?

I think he will be but whether he gets on i don't know,first game back it's not ideal game

You’re right.

I am stilling thinking about placing a cheeky bet for him to be the last scorer...
