Not sure whether you are joking - but no, they would not; Arsenal (or any other team) can only play in one european competition (unless the rules allow for some beaten teams in the CL to enter the Uefa Cup - as happens now).

No, althou Arsene chooses to play his reserves in the Carling Cup, it is still technically Arsenal and not Arsenal reserves. It is his discretion who he plays in his team but be it a reserve player or a first team squad member, it is still Arsenal.
