When big guns misfire

This week confirmed again why everybody loves the cup competitions so much, with Arsenal of the Premier League beaten on penalties by Bradford City of League Two.

Well, everybody bar Arsenal fans, I suppose.

I know Arsene Wenger has been under severe pressure of late, and this performance and result has certainly magnified that, but trust me when I say this — these types of games are very difficult to play in unless you approach them in the right way. I should know because I’ve been on both sides of these encounters.
