Yeah, Arsenal have a very realistic chance at silverware in the League Cup this year. West Ham faces Man United on Tuesday as well with the other two games, Birmingham v Aston Villa and Ipswitch v West Brom, taking place Wednesday. Without jinxing the team I think we can field a young squad (with the likes of Gibbs, Walcott, and Bendtner) and still take Wigan. Still, we should be cautious in our approach as Wigan will be fighting for their lives as this is their only chance at winning anything this year.

Normally I don't care at all about this competition, but with the way results have turned out, I'll be furious if we don't win it from here.
The group we fielded today is a strong indicator that we are going for this one. With ManU getting thrashed the door is wide open for us.
There is a very high chance we will win this. Who's left? Ipswitch, Aston Villa, West Ham, and... West Brom? Surely we're favorites.
