    At least we're financially stable and do things the right way...glory is overrated.

    Was best chance of a trophy. Not that it's worth a lot though.

    Arsene Wenger has warned Arsenal they need to avoid a penalty shoot-out against Bradford if they are to advance to the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup.

    hahahahaaaaaaaaaaa

    It's just the final confirmation of how far we have fallen. Wenger used to take the piss out of this competition, but today he played a full strength team, because he knows that this trophy is the only trophy that he can win this current team.

    **** happens lads, thought you were very unlucky tonight and losing on pens is just a lottery. Still a great club just prepare for the incoming wum's you're bound to get and to be honest it's not as bad as losing all those years ago to Wrexham in the FA cup.

    Yeah we lost against Bradford city but to be honest I'm not that bothered. Partly because the cup is worth very little in terms of kudos and secondly because that's the result you would expect from Arsenal of late. Our form over the last month has been pretty dire to be honest.

    I actually think playing first team was why you lost.
    they are more tired, and alike 2nd team they lack desire to prove they are regulars
    i seen Arsenal youngster killing sides by 4 or 5 goals in the past bcz they are fresher and more willing to prove themselves than first team players

    Just to say... at least Bradford are out of the FA Cup... that's one danger out of the way!

    agree, dangerous to play lethargic players against a lower league home side who are going to be unbelievably psyched to play a big club.

    So yes you may remain trophiless for 7 years... but at least you are financially stable as bluemoon says... is that really the attitude? Stop taking away the fact that your best team lost to League 2 Bradford...

    A) Our squad players do not have any desire. Most of them are a bunch of lazy twats who are just at the club to pick up a decent wage..

    B) Our amazing youngsters have all grown up and left to win things, only Wilshere is left.

    Eisfield who you were raving about, Yennaris looked impressive, Gnarby <InjuredDamnit>

    I don't know, I think if Eisfeld and Gnabry had played they'd be more fired up than anyone else on the pitch.

    Regardless, we were 10th after 15 games in the league and this moment is worthier of booting Wenger? Get a grip people.

    He is scoring goals, but Wenger will know more about him then we do, and he has deemed him not good enough to be part of the league cup squad for some reason. Even then he is simply not on the same level of talent as the likes of Fabregas,Wilshere and Van Persie, all of those are players who used this competition to develop.

    I think its really over-reactions about losing the CoC chance and losing to Bradford. Everyone says the team should respect Bradford, but when fans disrespect Bradford, the mentality of coasting wins will transfer to the players.

    LFC fan in peace


    Most of you probably know this, but for those idiots who blame Wenger
    People should turn their attention to why club that charges highest season ticket prices not making big money available to Wenger

    YOUR OWNERS ARE SCUM!!!!

    And are happy for Wenger to take giving them CL every year ( so far ),and make a fortune out of you

    You need to FORCE THEM OUT!!!!

    Like I say this is an LFC fan peace, I hope it works out for you, you are the only other big club in England I have any respect for
