Hopefully Wenger will mix it up if we get tougher opposition in the rounds to come,there would be no point putting a side like that out against stronger Premiership opposition.Well we would definitely want to name a strong bench unlike last night,imagine if we had gone two down last night (which easily could have happened) there wasn't much on the bench to help us turn it around.
Also I find it laughable that the papers focus on our attendance last night,we had 15,000 more fans than any other game and they show pictures of empty seats in the paper.Some journalists are f**king morons.....
hear hear.liverpool had 22,000 against northampton[who knocked them out]last year. utd had 46,000 against premier league wolves last year .we got a bigger crowd last night than we have ever got against such low ranked opposition.
it may have been our lowest attendance at the emirates but that goes to show what fantastic support we recieve there.
in fact we only had 6 higher attendances at highbury in the league cup
