Discussing the Gunners' dramatic comeback victory over Norwich in the League Cup midweek, Merson bizarrely claimed that the Carabao Cup is bigger than the oldest association football competition in the world. "If you look at Arsenal, they're not winning the Premier League," Merson said on Sky Sports' debate show. "And these two cups are big cups for them. The FA Cup and the League Cup are big cups. "I don't care what anybody says about this League Cup, it's a big trophy. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/924023427593326592 "If Tottenham didn't go out, the top five teams would have been in it. "The League Cup is a big cup. I'm going to say yeah (it is bigger than the FA Cup) at the moment and I'll tell you why... Because it finishes in February." That's right up there with the most ludicrous things ever uttered in football, we're sure you agree. And football fans all had to rewind to make sure they hadn't misheard the 49-year-old. https://twitter.com/bonjim81/status/923661222083530752 https://twitter.com/JamesElms3/status/923661268434776064 https://twitter.com/shevy68/status/923663675856171009 https://twitter.com/SachinNakrani/status/923841020495912961 https://twitter.com/dave_rue/status/923959035459788800 https://twitter.com/andrewdickens/status/923706562568339457 https://twitter.com/False11Firmino/status/924076865454858240Paul Merson moment Number 16283833: Saying the league cup > FA Cup. pic.twitter.com/p09B5MZHck
