Simpson eyes Carling Cup glory

YOUNG Gunner Jay Simpson believes Arsenal’s ‘kids’ can win the Carling Cup — after reaching the quarter-finals in style with a 3-0 demolition of Wigan at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger selected a team with an average outfield age of just 19 on Tuesday night – but they dispatched Wigan with ease.

Simpson’s goals and a third from Carlos Vela sent the Latics crashing out of the competition and left the young striker hoping for one of the top clubs in Saturday’s draw.
