Don’t mind admitting that I’ll be watching this. I’m interested to see what we do when the opposition dominate possession.

We’ll be going. As an exiled Gooner, though as you should all know by now I support Swindon and follow Arsenal, it is always good to see how the upper echelons play in the flesh and the stars of tomorrow in action.

I will be watching it too, the daughter is an Arsenal supporter (Swindon her 2nd team).
Last season the Arse did quite well in this competition, they beat Ipswich 2-1, beat Gills on penalties, beat Crawley 2-1 and lost 3-0 to Wimbledon.
In the Ipswich game they had just 48% possession, at Crawley just 51% possession but in the Gills game they had a whopping 68% possession and agains Dons they had 70% (but still lost 3-0).
Their passing ratio was well over 80% in each game too and in every game they had less shots than their opposition, often half the amount.
There is no doubt they will play a possession based passing game, something nobody has really played against us so far this term, be interesting how many changes we will make as I expect Ward, Gilbert, Mitchell-Lawson, East and Parsons with cameos for Dabre and Angiuar.

At the moment, with their present form, we would probably be better playing an Arsenal 1st XI rather than the U23's.

I won't be paying for this fixture either.
But I already have a season pass...
I bet the sneaky fuckers add that into their viewing figures regardless of whether or not I actually watch it.

Ah, Funky Moped by Jasper Carrot. The A side to the Magic Roundabout which was the B side though the be side is what gained its success.
