With the dropping of Man Utd be West Ham, only Aston Villa remains a likely treat to Arsenal in the Carling cup race.
Without underrating the remaining teams, it might just be the time for Arsenal to reset the clock.
Can we say in the "Nigeria parlance" that the Carling cup has been zoned to Arsenal?

@ post

Arsenal are the clear favourites now especially playing the SEmi final against Ipswich over two legs the first leg being an away match, if Arsenal,(hoping wenger wont take it with kids glove can pull a win away then at home the final match against either Birmigahm or the bottom placed westham on a neutral ground should ensure a trophy for Arsenal and shut up the pit latrine called mouth of the likes of Dayokanu ,jelether ?? it may come down to Wengers seriousness this time not to field too many kids, the Carling cup remains number 5 on Arsenal list of priorities though wenger says he will take it serious. Chelsea that yeye club has long been destroyed and swept aside in the carling cup and may not be alllowed to play for the next few seasons for scandalously losing like the dummies thay are.

Like Obasanjo would say "I dey laugh"

@slowpoke,
when has been the clear favourites become winning? have u ever heard of upset? it is shame that u can insult ppl over a carling cup u are yet to win.
like wenger like his fans. by the time u win this cup, we will pack out of nigeria because u are winning carling cup in over 5 seasons.

  mr number 1025  how is 1024 and 1026 doing   shey na inmate number, please where you dey serve your jail term wey you get time talk football matter like this??
Anyway my post is crystal clear, i never equated being favourites with winning, i only said the chances are pretty high depending on how Wenger handles it   

  Ipswich    vs Arsenal
Arsenal  vs ipswich


  Arsenal vs  either Birminham or West ham       should give Wewnger what he deserves the silverwae he is yet to win. well critics says Arsenal is yet to win a cup, when they win this one mumu jailbirds will say its only Carling like it is no silverware, the only thing that made Manchester united not trophyless last season. Arsenal is curently toping the table ahead of imbeciile clubs like Chelsea that is on a free fall.

:d ;d ;d
