He sure is. Unless he gets explicit consent to play from United.
Said like a true Arsenal fan…… I jest. But really, we want both - and the FA Cup to boot.
Funny part is we have been drawn at home in all 5 domestic cup games. This one time where there are two legs and you probably want to be drawn away, we get drawn away.These draws recently
Nice long trip to Southampton for Newcastle too.
Nice to have a little bit of luck for the first time in our lifetimes.
Top 4 will never be more important than an actual trophy to me. Winning things creates actual memories, I'm not getting giddy over top 4 in even slightly the same way.
Not with the way Howe has set up this year. Any stiff opposition and it’s Simeone lite from them lot
Forest away will be a great trip straight in the ballot for me
Two legs for the semi is so random. Just seems unnecessary.
Well those Carabao energy drinks don't sell themselves.
Milk Cup
Is it still played over 2 legs? If yes, this is perfect... Hoping we can get Saints in the final.
I agree, not a fan of that format at all. Just make it a simple one leg all to play for game.
Did you see them at OT? Barely any football played.
And IMO that is exactly what is wrong with football today, winning a trophy should always be more important then finishing 4th
best of luck!
It’s ok, we’re going to win the league too anyway.
I think I see what happened now. But I'm not fully sure. I deleted a thread in the transfer forum, possibly just as Damo merged it.
Is that Jill Scott in the studio on sky? Shes going on like getting instructions as a player is weird and complicated 
The games keep on piling and piling...
Throw the Europa League and focus on domestic comps and Top 4??

We want both
But top 4 brings Champions league and better players which equal more than the odd efl run so I’ll take top 4 please
That was Pochettino's approach and it didn't work well.
Well when you call people weirdos for thinking it’s not an important trophy, then claim it’s “as good as any”…
I just made a stupid noise of excitement when I saw the City result and the draw.
Nope, we are beating Barcelona and winning the EL too. In Erik we trust!
Please post a video recreating said noise, it will cap a brilliant 2 nights!
Southampton in the the Final, finally some revenge for the offside goal in 1976
Took them to the CL final didn't work well?
Do whatever it takes to lift the cup, we need silverware.
Thanks, It would be a turn in my ballot luck for sure I've not had an away in the UK since Leicester
We should continue to play a mix of squad players sprinkled with first team cameos in the 1st leg and take it from there. Same applies to the FA Cup. We've been very lucky with the cup draws.
We beat them in the final a few years ago
Ah yes, when fecking Gabbiadini decided he was prime Pippo Inzaghi for one game only.We beat them in the final a few years ago
2 legs just ensures you don't get any weaker sides in the final. If Southampton went back to the Etihad City would have turned it round.
It's to ensure a strong final surely.

Remember thinking Southampton had a superstar on their hands.Ah yes, when fecking Gabbiadini decided he was prime Pippo Inzaghi for one game only.
Newcastle will completely park the bus and be time wasting from the first minute.
Top 4 means you get a chance to play for the biggest of all trophies... I'll take that over Carabao thing. But the FA Cup and the Europa League (even without the bonus of it giving a CL qualification) are worthy trophies. I was gutted when we lost that Semifinal to Seville in 2020, it would have been a wonderful season with a trophy against Inter in the final. Can't compare it to Carabao thing... Not as emotional about the Villareal game, the run was better but it came off the back of a shameful CL exit.
This here is really forgettable so far. Nothing is memorable about three home games against Villa, Burnley and Charlton sending you to the semifinal.
Agreed. They’re absolute shit houses
2 cup trophies and top 4.
When do tickets generally get put on sale for cup games? I might see if I can snag a seat in the forest end.
That was one of.
