Well done boys
Against Sheffield United last month lol
Does it really count if it’s against Sheffield Utd?
At least Sheffield plays in a real league not like Lens.
It was such a formality I didn’t even remember the scoreline
Prior to that though … when?
Goddamn feel like Arsenal are kind of dark horses in this competition. I’d put them maybe 3rd favourite.
