Arsenal suffered their biggest defeat against lower league opposition in 56 years as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup.
Unusually, there was no knee-jerk #WengerOUT protestations on social media, instead the Gooner contingent did their best Lauren Cooper impression and stressed they were not remotely ‘bovvered’.
First time in years I've genuinely not been bothered by an arsenal loss. Move on and forget about it. Some 'players' woeful tonight tho 😷

Obviously we all want to see Arsenal do well but I really couldn't care less about that cup

Don't even care about the Capital one Cup and so let concentrate on the Premier League, Champions league and FA Cup. #Arsenal

Some cared more about stopping Spurs than winning the cup themselves.
Stopped Spurs from winning anything this year then get knocked out next round to concentrate on winning the league Wenger is a genius #AFC

Ending Spurs' only chance of a trophy is better than winning the league cup.

Arsenal's goal in #COC was to stop Spurs. It worked. #afcvswfc

Like Benson, many blamed the Gooners’ distinctive third kit.
Does this kit go in the bin now (along with Joel?) I'd have settled for this after the third went in.

I blame this travesty of a kit.

I blame that abomination of a kit. If you don't look like Arsenal, you can hardly play like them. Amiright?!

In the end, one thing the Emirates’ faithful were bovvered about were injuries to Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Unfair on a bunch of young lads really. Don't care about the result. More concerned about Ox and theo tbh.

I care more about the injuries to Walcott and The OX, then about the game. Shows how relevant this game is…
