Not a Arsenal fan, but that result is a disgrace. No trophy in 7 years, it should have been a priority to win the Carling Cup this season especially as it was at the quarter Final stages  not a Mickey Mouse 3rd round tie.

In fairness Wenger put out a strong side. Which makes it an even worse result I suppose.

[Walter Cronc]

Jesus its like having Stockholm Syndrome with Wenger and Arsenal.

Wegner is a great manager, world class and has been for ages, that said I think he has run his course at Arsenal, they are not going to win anything soon and I think a different gig with a different CL contender would rejuvenate him.

the top teams can lose in the Carling cup to lower teams, it happens because players switch off and managers don't make it a priority, this does not make the manager a bad un, nor should any rash decisions be made directly after this result.

I remember the Mickey Thomas free-kick. Must be getting on for 20 years ago.

[ONeill]

He was 37 then. Seemed ancient at the time.

Yes January 1992 and Arsenal were reigning league champions back then.

I don't support any EPL team but Arsenal were always the one I said I would happily pay to watch. Not now. Dull, predictable and insipid.

With no RvP to rescue them with a moment of madness or even Fabregas to actually drive in a straight line into the 18yd box they have become stultifying pedestrian.

One also has to question how Wenger seems unable to get any sort of decent football out of Gervinho, a former French player of the year I think? He looks like he has wandered in from netball or some other sport but surely can't be as inept as he appears.

I wouldn't be too hard on the team, penalty shoot-outs are a lottery.

[Dinny Breen]

Something is rotten in the state of Arsenal.

The fact that it went all the way to a penalty shootout against a Div 4 team is what's bad.

Reaally, I must have missed that little detail
