I'm not a foreigner, I'm English. Fa Cup the year after Arsenal last won a trophy. The Micky mouse cup 2011, wow mean really, even if Arsenal won that next, I would not count it as anything major. Sure it can bring a winning mentality...eh doesn't for Liverpool I guess, as they failed the next seasons. In my mind you have failed just as hard as Arsenal where trophies are concerned.
Consistently winning things in history is not today. United have upped you on consistancy and Arsenal have consistancy in the CL for 17 seasons, yes you have won it, but half the time you are not even in it haha, that's consistancy? You seriously are living so far in the past.
we havnt just won it, we have won it 5 times, we have won it that many times we get to keep one of them, Arsenal on the other hand, have never won it ever, like ever ever ever, plus 22 trophies in the last 18 years isnt that bad of a record is it?
8 years and counting for you lot, weve achieved your dreams, never forget it
i'm with barricade, i personally dont give two shits about the FA cup or whatever they are calling the other one now adays. there are only two championships i'm interested in

Most Arsenal fans or any real fans in general would NEVER turn their noses up at a FA cup, that is just a silly silly statement, you really are above your stations right now, yes your doing great in the league but its only the halfway point, not winning a single piece of silverware for 8 years is absolutely shocking for a club of Arsenals stature so please get off your high horse.
Azal you have just shown how little you know about football with that statement there buddy, if any of you want to have a nice friendly wager on the matter of whether you will end your silverware drought then lemme know, otherwise wait till you actually win something before you start boasting.
i dont know what we would wager, but i aint scrrd. and i dont have a european's mindset in football, that much is true, i want to see my team be the best, not win some cup that half the teams in my own league dont even care about.
History is all good and well, but we are talking about now and the recent years past. Liverpool were great once, but only a shadow now. We have gone a long time without a trophy, but in recent years Arsenal are still the better team. One Micky mouse cup isn't going to change that.
Also Lynog, I never disrespected the FA. Cup. I simply said you only won it a year after us. Most clubs don't care about the league cup, which is the last trophy you won in 2011, from what you have said anyway. With that being said, you are just as trophyless in a long period of time in my mindset. I don't want the league cup for Arsenal, make of that what you will, but I would like to aim higher.

i never said you did, i said the other guy did, as for your here and now i totally agree, and you still havnt won nothing here and now, so like i said. Win something and then boast, also you are right in very recent history Arsenal are defo a better side, we havnt been better than Arsenal since 07-2010. Still it doesnt mean all that much when you arent winning anything. Your still nowhere near the top sides in England so please whoever it is that keeps saying you're one of the best in the world, stop it!
LOL aza, if you think ANY team in UK doesn't care about the FA Cup then please do not comment on football. It is the single greatest domestic trophy in the world of football and the only time I know of a team not caring is when Fergie withdrew Man Utd to go and get the Club World Cup because he hadn't won it yet. And even he said afterwards "yeah that was fucking shit"
The FA cup is home to some of the best football and the best matchups across England and Wales. And considering you're an arsenal fan, you guys should be having a semi on over ANY kind of silverware.
Oh god, are gunners really referring to cups as "mickey mouse" cups now and looking down on them. Every other set of fans is laughing at the lack of silverware and you guys are pretending you dont care about minor cups. Lucky those "being in the CL for XX years cups" will fill your cabinet eh....
Maybe your wager should be who will place highest. Arsenal or Liverpool.
maybe my wages should be will Arsenal win anything for the 9th year on the run, gratz if they manage to win something, i just have my doubt and am willing to put money where my mouth is.
Sunderland have more chance of winning silverware than arsenal
Unfortunately that is a sad fact what carnt be denied.
And before you say man city with trounce us. Yes they probably will However if I said to you 3 years ago that the next 3/4 times city play Sunderland away they would be beat 1.0 on every occasion then you would have laughed. But that's what happened.
I am not hopeful no. But we Have a 10% chance. I think arsenal have a 5 percent chance at best

You got beat of Birmingham in the final I members obefemi Martin's scoring the winning. I also remember fans crying and Wenger getting abused.
Silver ware is silverware. I agree with lynog. You've won not a jot. However your a glory supporter anyway so it's irrelevant what none local fans think.
Qwj and lynog are bellends at times but Atleast they aren't glory hunters and support there local team. I got to respect that
I'm not a glory supporter when I've followed family, my earliest Arsenal shirt is like 6 years old. Every year having the new shirt, all still in my cupboard in England. It's easy to brand someone a glory supporter when Arsenal have won nothing for eight years, are you so dumb to brand me that, your comments contradict each others haha.
Regarding the league cup, I just would aim higher than that, I would rather win big than win it, simple opinion. I hold priority on the CL and EPL, oh noes, he knows nothing about football...
It is all good aiming for higher things, but when you cant even win the smaller things, it is a bad thing. You can hold priority on the CL but if you aint winning it you need to put priority on the other cups too, success is measured with trophies.
Not in todays game, Champions League over League Cup for me. Sorry you disagree. It's very difficult to compete in four competitions, the fixture list is nuts. You could argue and it's been said by some pundits and managers, that Liverpool are only doing so well because they don't play in Europe. All the big teams have a fixture clusterfuck, I can understand why the League Cup might have some meaning to you.
I thought you were some Mexican that came to live in England. Being in the crowd at an English game doesn't make you English. I've been to Chinese sports game, that doesn't mean I'm Chinese does it.
And yes I've been to Arsenal games, my Aunt lives in London and would get me tickets if I could afford them and had the time. I've been to highbury the most, had my photo taken with the double trophies in 1998, when I was 12. I've only been to the new stadium a few times. Now that I live in China, it's next to impossible. I've supported Arsenal all my life.

You are misunderstanding me. Of course the CL is a MUCH higher priority. But you cant be calling these smaller cups mickey mouse cups when you cant even win them either. Fair enough if you was bagging FA cups and CL wins but you arent getting anything so a cheeky league cup here and there would be a success. Better than nothing.
People like Azalieo saying fuck the FA cup is just outrageous haha. An FA cup win would be great for arsenal. Just proving he is a typical foreign supporter, you would never catch him supporting someone like sunderland/villa etc.
Four competitions is just too much, we use the league cup for youthful talent and eventually got knocked out. The later stages we might use a stronger team. I just have no interest in it or don't hold any team that wins it with any respect. If Arsenal go and win it, you won't find me talking about it. I'd be just as disappointed as I am now with the results.
That is just silly. For a club that size to win nothing in almost 9 years. Wenger is doing a good job maintaining league position but to go a decade with NO trophy is no better than Moyes at Everton, did well in the league but didnt win a thing.
If its not Liverpool I actually wouldnt mind arse winning the league this year. Much prefer them to City and Chelsea buying the league and id rather cut my sausage off with a rusty spoon than have Utd win.
Liverpool best team ever, MAN U can suck my balls, Frank Lampard can go to hell, when he stars playing well for england Ill give two fucks about what he does. As for arsenal? They went to shit after Henry left

I think that's a relatively safe bet )
I have to say though Barricade that every other club is in the same position if they finish in the top 4 when it comes to fixtures. And now that there is the 25 man squad rule, no one is using bigger squads to their advantage.
It goes hand in hand with the fact that injuries always seem more severe at Arsenal: I don't think I've ever thought that Arsenal had depth. Far too many youngsters on the 2nd rung for any position. I remember a few years ago the average age being ridiculously young
Of course, now they are starting to grow up this should hopefully make a difference. If you don't keep selling your best players
Arsene Wenger is Arsenals main problem, he never replaced Henry or Veira, he has needed a captain, a proper captain in that team for years, with the money to go out and buy who he wants yet he doesnt, yes he has done ok keeping them in the champs league every year but lets think about his old invincibles team, Nvm top 4 they where up there to win the league every single year, Now you have ONE season in the last like 5 or 6 where you are top just after xmas and you wanna start looking down on cups and calling other teams small.
I wont even have no more discussions on this matter, win something and then and only then can you brag, win the league AND maybe something else and then you can call yourselves one of the worlds elite for the moment.
a crappy tournament where teams from the lower leagues play against the B teams for the big clubs is not exciting. you guys might get up for it when your squad plays coventry, but i would rather be playing a game that matters, thank you.
