Arsenal 2 - 0 Reading

Another game, another goalkeeper, as it was Emi Martinez's turn to put in a fine performance in the net.  It's nice to have such depth at a vital position.  And speaking of depth, I believe Wenger made ten changes from the EPL game Saturday.  The mostly young guys did pretty well, showing some flair and a lot of industry.  I wouldn't put that team on the field against Tottenham in the league, but they dominated Reading today.  AOC scored the goals, and we could have had more but for some nice saves from al Habsi and some hustling blocks from Reading's defenders.  I expected Perez to find the net today, but this was not his day, unlike the Nottingham game.

Well, after tomorrow's games, we'll see if the draw continues to be kind to us.  Spurs were knocked out by Liverpool, and of course there's the Manchester derby tomorrow.  It would be great to be able to rest the starters and give the kids another run out against lower division opposition.  But we should be looking to win this cup.
