Anyway im not questioning Arsenal's team against fanborough, I thought it was a pretty decent side, I was expecting some youth team players with a few reserves and 1 or 2 first teamers, so fair play to them.

Yes.
Jeffers is regularly brought on - moreso than Kanu recently.
Cygan has been injured; this was his first 'major' game since recovering, but he kept Keown out of the team continuously at the start of the season.
Toure usually starts on the bench, but has regularly been brought on since Ljungberg has been injured.
Luzhny had a regular spell at right-back when Lauren was injured.
Edu is a regular first-teamer, as was van Bronckhorst before his knee injury last season.
The point is that this was not a weakened team fielded in expectation of an easy victory over Farnborough.
> Worthington Cup.. beating us 0-2.
Actually it was 0-3!!
I felt sorry for Dagenham (being a Norwich fan) they actually played really well and their performance suprised all of us. The game was evenally matched until we got the breakthrough and clinched the goal right at the end.. all i can say is that we were lucky.. Norwich get oo over confident.. not so long back Cheltenham put us out of the Worthington Cup.. beating us 0-2.

Nope nor has Cygan, Toure, van Bronckhorst, Luzhny, Edu.
> Thats it though, it wasn't the first team
Taylor, Campbell, Cygan, Lauren, Parlour, Pires, Toure, van Bronckhorst, Vieira, Jeffers and Kanu - with Seaman, Luzhny, Edu, Bergkamp and Wiltord on the bench.
The only players missing were Seaman in goal (on the bench), Wiltord in right midfield (on the bench), Henry up front (rested), and Ashley Cole (suspended - otherwise he'd no doubt have played).
Not *exactly* the first team, but all first-rate players who have played regularly in the first team this season. Far from being a weakened team!
In the Worthless Cup, we play members of our reserves and youth team - none of whom were chosen for this game. Not THE first-choice team, but as good as - that selection can and has played against Premiership opposition.
