A Pep team actually defended. That's a huge step forward in his tactical abilities.
But yeah, I don't really liked the match that much. You're still in time to sign Firmino (he's already better than Nerman lol)

pls no
(unless he's relegated to Shaw's back-up)
Youth team coaches measure their success by how many players make it through to the first team rather than youth trophies. Southampton arguably have the best academy in the country but they haven't won much in the way of trophies because if they're anything like Arsenal's they will tell players to focus on improving specific skills during games rather than going for wins.
A player like Wilshere who joins the club at age 9 who then goes on to win the FA cup with the same club that raised him is the raison d'etre of any youth setup.

I think that's true for the bigger clubs. Lower league clubs will probably judge more based on how many players are sold on to higher division clubs; essentially generating money & financing the academy.
Yeah.
I was reading about that recently and how, for example, one keeper was told to come out and collect the ball to aid his development. Makes sense really, and is the whole point of youth football.

Child's play.
We've got One DIrection @ the SoL next week.
Some scruffy teenager is going to be defiling my seat.
fuck.
Now, now, you are just undermining a good youth set-up to maximise your success yesterday
We had a lot of youths coming through the ranks with Barkely, Stones and Garbutt, all have contributed toa great overall season. We are also looking to bring 3 more players from that U18 team to give our squad a EL depth, or so the rumour goes!
lol. i would edit that in case a mod is around

Barnsley mate
This.
Both teams were exhausted, the only real standout players were Robben and Hummels.
The rest was shit, I've never seen so many mistakes between Dortmund and Bayern.
Fuck HSV.
-.-
Yep almost certainly.

Not at all! I think you'll agree though that Barkley having the great season he did and getting into the WC squad is a bigger success than the youth cup. Like Jack did with Arsenal he joined Everton at a young age (11) and if you can hold onto him and win a cup he will almost certainly become a club legend.
tomorrow the curse ends
it's a new day
a new beginning
a signal for a new era
Arsenal gaf
let's do this
beautiful
