DOES IT EVEN MATTER?

I have maintained all season that the League Cup is of little interest to me as a fan, if we’d won it, no doubt I’d gas the moment as consequential, but we didn’t… and outside feeling very depressed, it’s hard for me to find the energy to be too angry about a trophy that returns a prize fund lower than the cost of turning on the lights at The Emirates for an evening.

League Cup is the Community Shield with more games. At best, it’s a confidence boost for a lagging team, at worst for Arsenal, it’ll be a drain on confidence.
