Wilkins says Arsenal are wrong to play a team of kids instead of their best players.
Wilkins said: “It’s all about winning trophies when you’re a big club.
“The fact we’ve won the Carling Cup twice in the last four years and Arsenal have won none justifies our policy,
“You enter a competition to win the competition. Why go into it if you’re not concerned whether you win it?
“Playing a young or weakened team undermines the value of the competition.
“And we have not and will not do that. We want to win it, big time.”
