So what is going to happen to our youth?

If the are good enough for liverpool they will make the grade if not they can go to arsenal.

[-V-]

Vela is quality. He showed his class in La Liga last year.

Jack Wilshire is also a world class player in the making. But saying that I don't rate Fabianski, Djourou, Hoyte and i think Song is nothing special and won't make it either. Unsure about the likes of Randall, Gibbs and Merida

Was quite funny, Jeff Stelling just before kick-off,

"Wigan will have done their homework on these Arsenal boys and hopefully the boys will have done their homework"

My worry is are they going to get their chance when they have to replace establish players?

[Chrono]

Are you watching the game?

I am, why do you ask?

[Marky]

they dont have any established pros , only kids

William Gallas, Kolo Toure, Adebayor, Van Persie, Fabregas???

Dont talk nonsense sir, they got quality in abudance.

[rage]

That the difference between us and arsenal. We have a squad filled with world class players in 99% of the positions in the first team where are arsenal don't mainly due to Wenger refusing to buy them so the kids get a better chance.

let me share my frustrations regarding the current situation with our youth.

why buy ngog when we could have easily promoted nemeth to the first team?

why not give insua some pitch time? for instance wba we were comfortable at half time -15 minutes would have been good for him.

why buy lucas when we could easily have plessis as 4th choice central midfielder.

why play pennant when he has no future at the club even once when we could be giving el zahr more pitch time.

i don't agree that 99% of our 1st team are world class. we really need to start to promote the reserves instead of buying squad fillers.

Some great footballers there but where is the grit, the old heads, the guys that have been there and done that.

Only Gallas really and he proved a liability last season in that sense.

I am, why do you ask?

expected Wigan to get back into the game, but alas

Not a sniff of Wigan doing that mate. Men against boys.

[rage]

Yep, along with old heads Bergkamp & Pires to name but two.

and thats why they're not competing and won't do until wenger buys in some composed experience. gallas is just a wuss.

Ah right. To be honest mate they are stunning and in my opinion not as defensive but quicker with more flair than the first team. The have some outstanding young talent in their side and for me Wilshere is the cream of the crop although there are a lot of other candidates.

They play with two box-to-box midfielders without anyone really holding and push up on the wings. Vela is also a stunning player as is his strike partner Simpson.

I don't think they have it in them to win it to be honest as I think they will get bossed out by a superior side (like ours) but Arsenal fans must be bloody happy bunnnies.

Ohh well thats that i'm not listening to charlie nobhead nicholas. You'll get more sense talking to the wall than that idiot.
