Exactly. But to have NOT won a trophy for a few years, for a "Big 4" club, surely you'd want to win something?
(Not saying it as a dig like I normally do at the Scum, thinking of it from supporter point of view.)
Didn't I just say I'd like for us to win it?

It's a Mickey Mouse Cup, but any trophy is better than no trophy. It is clearly our lowest priority but that doesn't mean the players on the field don't want to win every match and the fans want to win every match.

I would hope we get past Wigan and then we are only a two-legged tie away from the final. I would think every team that remains wants to win it now.

But if we were to lose it is hardly shattering. It just means one less chance at silverware this year.

Got a free ticket to West Ham vs. Man Utd tonight.

It's going to be around -2, and it's been snowing all day long in London since very early this morning.

Hopefully the lads put in a decent enough performance.

Surprising result so far to say the least.

Im pretty sure Embers has given Spector a tough time in the past. Could be getting confused with a different player though.

What a disgustingly arrogant performance from Man U in that first half. Bebe, Obertan and Hernandez look disinterested. Fabio and O'Shea can't defend for their lives. Anderson and Smalling are the only ones who seem to give a shit.

So as the collective pants of Arsenal fans around the world bulge at the thought of actually winning something other than a fair play award, Man U need to wake up.

Arsenal, West Ham and...?
Not sure if the others have played but

The dates for the quarter finals are on the week of the 29th of November

Arsenal v Wigan
Birmingham v Aston Derby
West Ham v Man Utd
Ipswich v West Brom

Finally a home draw for the Arse. Big derby game as well.
