Whats the point. Ray made a good point at HT, at 1 nil throw them on but 2 no. There are upcoming games to think about.

Lets hope Arsenal's travails continue to past this weekend.

I don't think arsenal should be that disappointed. It's only the league cup and to be fair wengers put a team out there asking to be beat. Arsenal can now prioritise the league and champions league. Chelsea can rest players and still put a hefty squad out so that's just the way it is.

Goals win games Den. Arsenal do not have a world class striker.

Chelsea have the squad depth. We don't. We can't compete in four competitions.

Why then put Giroud and Ozil on?

Well that can't happen tonight. Besides Chelsea have that depth because they can afford to keep players like Mata on a 2nd string team.

so youre telling me Arsenal cannot get a world class striker in? you said you go to AST meetings so you should know how much wage spend has been cleared. Arsenal can afford a lot more than you think.

I am saying we don't have the squad depth. Chelsea have a better squad depth. We can afford a world class striker but we still wouldn't have as many class players as they doing sitting in the reserves. Chelsea played the better team tonight and won. I am more concerned about the game at the weekend.

theres nothing confusing about it. you say the golf between Arsenal and Chelsea is vast when it isnt if you think.about it. add those that are injured into a PL squad and you have 1 hell of a bench with a couple not making the 18 man squad. having world class striker would have meant Giroud would have played tonight. we have been talking 1 or 2 players short for years and years why is that? the resources are there. its without a doubt there now.

The gulf is that they have better squad players. I think we can compete with our first 11 but then it declines. Arsenal have done well this season, cut them a break.

thats not good enough.

Fabs running riot for Barca

How can it be pure greed - It's costing Norwich to subsidize their fans to go to away games - not just Newcastle but Man Utd last night, Man City this weekend and a number of other games. It will cost them more doing this than it would to provide discounts to Newcastle fans.

I got a ticket for 17.50 rather than the 20 it would have cost had we accepted the Newcastle proposal. No reason for Newcastle not to discount their fans to go to Norwich.
