League cup should be priority

it would now be delusional and disrespectful if we put out a weakened side for this. there would be no benefit if we do, we should know our place and ability and therefore fully go for winning the league cup. two things we should be pushing for: the league cup and fourth position.

We should go 4-4-2 vs Bradford

Szczesny
Jenkinson Koscielny Mertesacker Gibbs
Walcott Coquelin Cazorla Ox
Giroud Chamakh

League Cup & FA Cup. Only things we have a chance of winning this season.

Even in the FA cup, if we do well we will undoubtedly come up against united or another big team

True Castor Troy but we still have more chance than in Europe or the league. We need to fight and we will need some luck but it could happen if the attitude and desire is right. Not sure whether it will be though.

another embarrassingly reactionary article. People like you should take a day or 2 to cool down before you write articles on the back of a defeat.

This isn't reactionary - it's realistic.

I'd rather be realistic with Arsenal these days. There is no particular reason for optimism. If so, name me one good reason.

Sick of getting hopes up every season, it's just not worth it.

This is realistic to be fair. I never thought we'd win the league, and I doubt many of us truly believed we could. We are way short of the top 2. Best we could finish is 3rd, even if we bought in Jan.
This is realistically what we could do this season- 4th, league cup win, semis of fa cup, quarters of champions league.
This would be the maximum we could do with this team- league cup, 3rd, final of fa cup, semis of champions league.

I know we're a 4th division club but you don't need to bring your own TEA.Do they need any particular brand?

Why should we play a first team against Bradford? We should play a good team yes, but they're a league two side and we will be going through a busy period against PL teams, and if we want to get 4th we should play the best team for them we can.

Our second string side can beat Bradford, especially if Walcott and Giroud are involved.
