It’s crazy to think that Arsenal played at a stadium called Highbury, the name of their famous former home of 93 years, yet still managed to get knocked out of the League Cup by a League Two side.
When I saw the news the next day, I couldn’t quite believe what I’d woken up to. In fact, I was a bit confused and questioned whether what I was reading was actually true.
This is surely Arsenal’s worst humiliation and defeat in history. We go on about losing the Champions League final on penalties, but on Tuesday night we were somehow knocked out of the English Football League Cup by a side 84 places below us.
