Should Arsenal go all-out for Carling Cup glory?
01:00 PM 04 September, 2009
Considering they haven’t won a trophy since 2005, shouldn’t Arsene Wenger be thinking about fielding his strongest possible Arsenal team in the Carling Cup this season?

A 2005 FA Cup final win over Manchester United is all the Gunners fans have had to feast on during the past four years, as they continue to fall short on the final furlong.

With this in mind, Wenger would be forgiven for treating this season’s Carling Cup as something of an urgent matter, but he will again use the competition to play his youngsters.

“We have given out a few players on loan but we have a big squad I believe we will have a competitive squad in the Carling Cup,” he told Arsenal.com.

“(Nicklas) Bendtner, (Alex) Song, Denilson, (Cesc) Fabregas and even (Gael) Clichy - they all started in the Carling Cup. That shows you how important it is to go through this stage.”

Arsenal begin the tournament with the visit of Championship side West Bromwich Albion…should Wenger unleash the likes of Andrey Arshavin, Fabregas and Eduardo on the Baggies?

We all know Arsene Wenger uses this cup to give the youth and reserve team the opertunity to delevop and give them first team experience. I think he should now have a mixture with youth, reserve and first team players

If any one is to go out of the big 4 it would defibnitley be Liverpool. Of course it could only be temporary!

Guys Lets face it, this is a DRAMATIC new season! There are 3 other clubs VERY CAPABLE of shuffling the big 4. At least one of the Big 4 will DEFINITELY fall this sesaon! I honestly agree with Chris Kamara who said it will finish 1. Chelsea. 2 Man United. 3 Man City. 4. Liverpool. 5 Arsenal. 6. Spurs 7.Villa. Get used to it guys. The Big 4 days are GONE!
