LThe Pregame is live — Fabrizio Romano just posted on X: Arsenal eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Fleetwood Town. Eighteenth in League Two.
MFleetwood Town? A League Two side knocked out Arsenal?
LWon on penalties five-three after a one-one draw. Arsenal had Max Dowman sent off late.
MSo a Premier League title contender loses to a team fighting relegation in the fourth tier. That's embarrassing.
LOh, come on. Arteta played the kids, it's the League Cup, nobody cares about it.
MYou can't lose that game. You just can't. You're Arsenal, you have the depth, you shouldn't lose to Fleetwood Town at their own Highbury Stadium.
LWait, Highbury Stadium is Fleetwood's ground, not the old Arsenal one. That's the only Highbury they won at tonight.
MExactly! And the pattern is what kills me. Arsenal always stumble against teams they should bury.
LThey're still top of the league. One bad cup night doesn't erase that.
MIt's a pattern. They'll do this in a Champions League knockout and call it a learning experience.
LWe'll see. Meanwhile, different world entirely: Luka magic. Fifty-two points last game, three clutch triples from almost identical spots.
MThat's not magic, that's a serial killer with a basketball.
LLakers are three and oh, face the Blazers tonight at eight Pacific on NBC and Peacock.
MPortland is two and oh, though. Young team, no pressure, they can run.
LAnd Luka in crunch time at home? I'm taking the Lakers every single time.
MDon't sleep on the Blazers. They've got shooters and they're playing free.
LYou want to put something on it?
MNo, no gambling. But if it's close late, I might change my mind.
LQuick one from the NFL: the league's official account says the reigning MVP still leads the league in passing yards.
MOf course he does. The guy is a machine. No surprise there.
LThat's the Pregame, we're just getting warmed up.
