    Yeah they have got quite a few good young players coming through too. Academy not as good as ours but better than most in the league.

    A decent academy means nothing if you don't invest to go with it.

    Remember what happenned when we had Poortivelt(sp?) And were skint so went with almost pure youth?

    Oh yeah we got relegated to the 3rd tier for the first time in over 50 years...

    Cheers :)

    I may take the piss a little bit every now and then bringing up 8-0 etc. But I'm not a full on wum as I like discussing footy too <ok>

    That's just my honest view of where you lot are at at the moment...

    We do have some decent young players coming through
    Pickford
    Watmore
    Gooch
    Honeyman
    Greenwood
    Molyneux
    Asoro
    Maja

    We did play a lot of them in our previous EFL cup ties and most of them looked as good as the first teamers.

    I just thought it was a tad bizarre, what with the early Saturday kick off coming round so quick. A game that you will need to be 100% in to get anything. Wenger must be rubbing his hands together.

    Little bit painful to read because it's so true but thanks for the nice sentiments.
