If we won this pub team competition, it would mean Wenger not buying anyone as it would kill the youngsters.

An interesting but not very interesting +1 given that one player from the last Youth Cup final win is actually a first team regular.Originally Posted by Cripps
Youth Cup is even more insignificant than this. He'll use the we have the best youngsters in Europe line. The youth cup proves we have better youngsters than the might Blackpool or Stevenage.
As I recall that team beat Spufs and Liverpool and probably some others but well handled anyway. Most are realistic enough to know that you're doing well to get around two players who become regular first teamers from these groups. The rest tend to be a shade off good enough or just average and making up the numbers. Looks like Gnabry and Bellerin are those particular stand-outs but you never want to call absolute definites for who will make it at this stage unless you have a Fabregas or a Wilshere.
Arsenal youth v Chelsea in the NextGen semi-finals is on Eurosport 2 now.
Akpom has just scored. Great pass from Gnabry to put Bellerin through on goal and he squared it for Chuba chups to tap in.
A tremendously shit playing surface for the occasion. To add, Stewart Robson is commentating.
Can't be bothered watching more on this crap pitch. I'm oot.

Chelsea won 4-3
It'll also let him use the old "we're a young team" excuse he's used since 2005 if we draft a few youngsters into the squad.
