Anyone got a link for the game?

Mustn’t discount the possibility that the game could be postponed. Might be a nice day now but it only takes an asteroid to hit London in the next couple of hours and they’ll have to call it off. We learned that when Tyrannosaurus Rex Albion vs Triceratops Rovers had to be cancelled 66 million years ago.

Says it's on Sky ?

Yes, evidently Old Man of Hoy and Long Time Gooner were looking forward to that game.

Worth noting Spurs have played a quite strong team tonight and they’re currently 2-2 away to Wolves. Hopefully some extra time will tire them a bit more for the weekend

Looking forward to tonight’s game. I expect us to win, draw or lose. If Arteta drops Ramsdale he’s an idiot, likewise if he drops Leno he’s also an idiot. If he plays first team players I intend on accusing him of risking Sunday’s result and if he doesn’t I intend on accusing him of being an idiot for not taking the competition seriously.

Apparently there was no VAR at the league cup games. So can we assume that the FA will look at this and give Matic the appropriate 3 game ban for needlessly kneeing his opponent in the testicles?

Glad we won but I can’t help feel sometimes some of these fringe players in our squad don’t really use the opportunity to give Mikel many genuine selection headaches when they appear in these type of games.

Surely an opportunity to get half a dozen. Some of these guys should be looking to shine in these type of fixtures

Did you listen to the game at all. I did while walking the dog. This wasn’t an opponent who put out an u23 team like Westbrom and they are well organised and from what the Arsenal broadcast team said at least put us thru our paces. And a number of our players did shine. On your judgemental style none of the first team should get a game because failure to put large goals past Norwich and Burnley must amount to an absolute failure. You are pretty good with telling other people how we should get behind the team but are pretty quick to criticise when it suits you.

It’s a general observation which is accurate, not criticism there’s a difference. Stick to walking your animal, at least you can talk nonsense to it without it pointing out your wrong.

As in the Premier League, the number of substitutions both sides can make in a game is three, down from the five allowed in the competition last season for the semi-final and final.

A statement via the EFL website reads: '10.1 Subject to Rule 10.2 and Rule 10.3, in all Competition Matches, each Club is permitted to name up to seven substitutes on the Team Sheet, of whom not more than three may take part in the Competition Match.'

Surely an opportunity to get half a dozen. Really: was that comment and if so what was it based on. As I said the same could be said of Norwich and Burnley - so to follow your line of reasoning the players in those games failed as well. My dog probably has more common sense than you. As I said a roo loose in the top paddock.

Reason for so few subs

What sort of dog is it?

If this argument is going to go on, it would be very good to have some background info about the main characters.

And is it named after an Arsenal player of yesteryear? I’ve always liked the idea of getting a dog and calling it Ljungberg
