Arsenal vs Posh (FA Youth Cup)

Just got home after watching my Posh Youth team totally out-classed by Arsenal Youth in a 4th round tie of the FA Cup.

If I were a Gooner, able to watch such talented youngsters every week I might not bother with the 1st team.

The stand-out player was Daniel Crowley, intelligent, talented and skillful - hard to believe he is only 16, he reminded me
a bit of one of my favourite players, Dennis Bergkamp.

 

I believe Crowley scored 2 and set up a few others? Looks like he will be a great prospect in a few years....

 

He along with Zelalem are the two stand out prospects we have right now. But these guys have to be pretty special if they want to break into our current squad, especially when you consider that both are AM's.

 

I wonder if Adrian Durham will mention the game on the radio tomorrow

 

Thanks for the info, was unawares our youngsters were in action today.

 

It's sad that people are more interested in the f***ing 16-year-old team than the women's team.

 

who wants to watch a bunch of slow assed women playing football .?

They cant kick the ball more than 20 yards , then " sprint " after it .

Women are smashing at many many sports .

Football is not one of them .

If they enjoy playing it then thats their reward .

Dont complain that people dont want to watch it .

Thats called free will ...there is nothing " sad " about it .

And before you get that sexist card out ....

Its not sexist ....its football-ist .

 

Crowley,Gnabry and Zelalem are all super exciting.

Great to see we are still bringing through TOP class talent.

 

Totally agree about football. However, I like watching women's tennis and since the William sisters came in, it's been quite exciting. Same with beach volley ball, but for different reasons....

 

That's true, I enjoy women's tennis sometimes, and women's MMA. But when it comes to football....Rather they play football with my balls if you know what I mean? Was that a mean joke? :-D.

 

So you want 11 girls trying to kick your balls?

 

That's his idea of foreplay...

Highlights of the game, Crowley really did have some game.

 

That is some quality football .

Amazing that they are that composed as that age.

 

It is sexist because it is not true. They kick the ball at least 50 yards. They are a little slower than the men it is true, but not in the speed of play, just the running speed.

You can choose not to watch it, but when you lie about the reasons why, it is sexist. Hitler did not like to watch black people playing sport, I am sure that was just a reasonable personal choice, not racist at all!

 

I knew Crowley was good but DAMN. DAMN. This kid is a monster.

 

Really nicely worked goals, all of them.

Here's the (commentated) highlights on arsenal.com by the way:

yeah .
You accuse me of being a wum , but then casually call people liars
for their opinions.

Thats why you endear yourself to so many .

tut tut .

 

If them lads are playing like that ..NOW , i am very impressed with our youth setup .

 

The through ball for the third goal is Ozil-esque.
