A brand new day today. The first match of Carling cup is moments away for our team. The last year cup final still haunts many. It was Arsenal vs Birmingham. The whole Arsenal world was sure that our team would finally be ending their six year trophy drought but the horror show in the ending moments left many in tears. After that day we have played 16 EPL games and have achieved to secure only 16 points from those 16 games! Indeed with the fall of Carling cup a lot did fell with it. It was the starting point of our downfall and we are still falling even today if not already, to the bottom.

Anyways for the today's game a new set of guns are to be deployed by Wenger. The rising Japanese Ryo Miyachi will be looking for his debut and along with it we might be seeing Oxlade and Park. So, I'm expecting an exciting contest. A good performance in today's match could bring good opportunity for one of these to make it Wenger first team list in EPL.

Miyachi and Park are especially expected to make some good impact in the game. According to his former club Miyachi got in to the hearts of fans right in the first game so we pretty much expects the same here as well. A new defender Miquel is expected to be given chance as well. So, in short w'll be seeing our bench team on the go today.

After watching the poor performances of our first team, all of us must be waiting for this game as it might provide a kind of relief to all the fans. On the other hand it might add to our already growing miseries. The moral and confidence must be really down. But I'm sure we the gunners will be fully backing our team and will play a vital role in our team's revival. 

On the other front a kind of good news for the gunners is that our manager has finally stood up to rectify the defense of the team. Arsene admitted that the team "lacked confidence, concentration and coordination" against Blackburn which is true indeed. He also warned his players that if they don't get things right they might find themselves and the team in real trouble. 

Its a bright move by the manager. As i said in my last post the manager must make a strict protocol and should deal with the players accordingly. Its a world class club you are running and you can't have a defense like junior's club level (even they could have defended better though)

Good luck to the new gunners, we seriously hope that our team will win this by margin and it will be a good boost for the team, club and fans overall. Park could make a serious impact in this game as he is cunning and sharp in the field. We'll be back with a review on the game soon guys , till then enjoy the game. 

Go Gunners!
