Arsenal v Liverpool - Youth Cup Final.

[DannyMan2006]

there will be streams for this later, right?

It's on Setanta if you've got it?

[wiw]

They pretty much battered everyone they have met so far and scored a **** load of goals in their league.

Odds are probably so massively in their favour as it is a home tie for the Arse.

They won their league by 25 points!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm so they are that good by the sound of it! Thanks

Well we'll see how they get on after Kennedy has kicked a few lumps out of them Still gonna have a couple of quid on the draw

Take a look at Hugh McCauleys comments and make your own mind up. He talks of the importance of not sitting back too much and that it is important to keep the scores close so we get a good crowd at Anfield.

When a manager talks like that you know damn well that he is talking up a possible hiding. We did however beat them last year and do tend to save our best performances for the youth cup.

Whilst Arsenal are rightly the favourites value for money gambling wise has to be on the draw.

He did come across really defeatist didn't he. We have injury doubts too. Pepper is definitely out but even worse IMO Ayala is a doubt and Ecclestone as well.

Edit: Just remembered it was Buchtman not Ecclestone who was the other doubt.

It's difficult to tell really, Man City won our league and finished 28 points ahead of us. We tend to mess around with our U18s team in the league, giving opportunities to U16s etc and we don't play the lads based at Melwood e.g. Bouzanis, Kelly, Irwin.

Arsenal beat Man City 6-2 in their Semi BTW.

I don't have Setanta but certainly looking forward to this online (somewhere hopefully). How can we be afraid we have some Butchmen, Irwin ghosting past everyone, Pepper spraying the ball around the pitch and Dalla Valle with shots from Valhalla. By the end Arsenal will w ince at the defeat.

Was it his metcalf? (groan, coat/taxi)

I've got high hopes with Amoo, Ince and Dalla Valle to be honest. Ayala being injured is of grave concern however.

Arsenal are massive favourites. Are they really that good?Arsenal 5/8 on
Draw 3/1
Liverpool 5/1

Might have a few quid on the draw

Arsenal beat Man City 6-2 in their Semi BTW.

I went to the Arsenal-City game with mates who are supporters of both teams. The 4-1 scoreline in the second leg was somewhat flattering. City's defending in the first half was laughably, suicidally, comically bad, just gifting goals with a series of howlers.

They were ahead in the first minute, following a big boot down the pitch. Then came a penalty and it was game over. Their goalkeeper was just awful too, not a patch on our goalie, Bouzanis. As my City mate said, if they'd had Arsenal's goalie they probably would have won. Although it was 4-1 at half-time, which flattered Arsenal, City were the better team in the second half.

It's impossible to compare teams in different leagues at youth level as the players are very inconsistent. They might have beaten City, flattering though the score was, but we knocked out Chelsea, who had knocked out the Scum, so we've accounted for two of the other Big Four members' youth teams directly or indirectly.

Anything can happen tonight. William Hills' odds for the game were crazy. We were 100-1 to beat them 3-0. If they're that good I'd be worried, but I stuck a token fiver on it just in case. The Racing Post also concluded that Arsenal were very much under-priced because of the perpetual hype about their "kids" (Copyright Sky Sports 2008) - despite the fact that this is the first time they've as much as reached a Youth Cup final since 2001 - and Liverpool were correspondingly over-priced and they recommended a bet on us as the better value
