Wenger has already said the kids will play the early rounds. So he's not taking it seriously at all, in his mind. But he may have fucked up. As I pointed out yesterday, it doesn't look like he has much input with the youth and reserve teams based on the football they are playing, so we might be better off with the kids. Stick in a few deadbeats like Theo to add a bit of experience and we might just end up being entertained.

I know, I know, but it's not impossible.
