Arsenal have been drawn against Spurs in the third round of the Capital One Cup.
The teams last met in this competition in 2010 when the Gunners ran out 4-1 winners at White Hart Lane with goals from Henri Lansbury, Samir Nasri and Andrei Arshavin.
The game will take place at their place on September 22nd or 23rd – depending on what games are selected for TV – providing a chance for some of Arsenal’s fringe players and promising youth to get some playing time.
Perhaps the fact it’s a North London derby might affect the manager’s team selection, but we’ll find out in due course.

Well, that should be interesting. How strong of a side will we put out there?
Also, I think you mean Sp*rs in that headline.
I saw the headline and thought it was an entirely different club that we drew. Rotterdamshire Spurs or something…
I think a mixture of Tasmanian devils and rabid weasels ought to do the trick. Should they not be available then snipers from the floodlights. Failing that then as its the spuds the best, fittest most motivated individuals because they need to be taugh another lesson
I wonder who we will get in the fourth round
Fucking. Yes.
That just happened randomly.
Gotta love this when Man Utd play Carlisle, Chelsea get Walsall, Man City get Sunderland, etc. etc…
Oh well, another chance to beat the Spuds and to laugh at one or more rival as they fall to a team they should have beaten, I suppose…
Walsall to pull a Bradford City this year.
We can always hope
Meant that Liverpool play Carlisle, Man Utd play Ipswich…
Whatever, they’re all nobodies.
Man U plays Ipswich Town btw… Up the Town!
Groan. The only consolation is that they’re playing even shitter…I mean ‘average’ than us.
Don’t they always?
It will be nice to put them in their place once again.
Don’t you mean sp*rs?
To spice things up and silence the “spendsum wha wha WHAAAAAA” crowd at the same time, let’s buy Harry Kane before the window closes.
Nah, he’s one of their own remember? Gross
Stick enough money under his nose added with the possibility of winning trophies and he’ll soon become a Gunner.
Apparently his family prefers Arsenal anyway.
Giroud is twice the striker Harry Kane is, he had one lucky season, he’ll fade into nothing.
Sometimes you just have to accept the contagion has spread too far…and impose a strict quarantine!
They will really need to be properly and thoroughly beaten this time. Just to get them out of the competition
Just remeber that: PETR CECH IS MAGIC! HE WEARS A MAGIC HAT. HE COULD HAVE STAYED AT CHELSEA, BUT HE SAID NO FUCK THAT! HE SAVES IT WITH HIS LEFT HAND, HE SAVES IT WITH HIS RIGHT. AND WHEN WE WIN THE LEAGUE AGAIN WE’LL SING THIS SONG ALL NIGHT! repeat
I prefer ‘he wears a rugby hat’ ha!
This brings back some great memories of watching the game in an empty bar in Portugal and sitting alone with spud telling me how much he rated David Bentley! I just looked at him and thought “Yeah mate, he’s fucking great. Enjoy that.”
Good times.
And so it was written.
Jack Wilshire’s season debut.
With any luck, it’ll be Wilshere’s first start of the season. I hope he scores a hat trick in each half and takes a dump in the centre circle after the match to prove how totally shit they really are.
Strongest team available against those cunts…please.
Thanks.
Can’t wait to make a DVD…
Unleash the Jeff!
yep!, ..and Alex iwobi…..pity serge is no longer around, that would have been some midfield trio
Why you gotta post this before me? Oh well you can say that again! COYG!
Hey guys
Could someone here explain to me who these Totterhams are? They sound like some shitty non-threatening obscure midtable team that no one cares about.
Spurs are shit, but they beat us easily there in the PL last season …. at least its away cos we can’t fucking score at home from over 100 shots in five games … still, our 2nd team should be too good for them … I hope Arsene plays the up and comers with a dash of Gabriel and Welbeck and OX. But, really, who gives a flying fk about the Capital Cup?
A big game. Excellent. We do well in big games…
Ospina
Debuchy Chambers Paulista Gibbs
Arteta Wilshere
Chamberlain Ozil Adelaide
Welbeck
So many assumptions in that.
Hey Don, no Iwobi?
we’ve been drawn against spurs? wow…. shit happens!
Well that’s Sp*rs chance of a trophy gone again for another season 🙂
Have a look at the fixtures before and after this game guys. I bet you, you won’t be much happy when you realise that we will have to put up a second string side. This is not good news.
We always put a second string side in this competition (until the final).
I seem to remember a few years ago when “the kids” in this competition were playing better than the first team at the time!
Easy win! COYG!
Wow … no matter what happens with the CL matches, we’re playing four away matches in a row. I guess it’s fortunate that two of them are just tube rides away.
Do any of the Canadian Gooners know if Sportsnet or TSN got any rights to COC games this year?
4 away matches in a row? So wenger has a built in excuse already (just beat the spuds)
Poor old Spuds, their only chance of a trophy gone early doors!
So dissappointed with the draw. I was hoping for a good and classy team to test our second strings and young lads against instead we get this crap team? Well i’m off to the Fa and they better have a good explanation
