I don't want to get too carried away because the drop out rate from youth football to Premiership is huge BUT.......

at times it was like watching a mini version of one of Arsene's first great sides - the 1998 side

Centre halves who commanded the back line, two midfield enforcers who stood up to everything, endless craft from Emmanuel Thomas and Wilshere (in the Bergkamp and Overmars mould), and forwards with pace to burn. It was fucking great watching physically strong midfielders but with all the touch and finesse, and Bartley like a young TA6.

Come on you Young Gooners - the faith is returning. Stevie Bould - legend, and thanks for a great night's entertainment

One typically cynical quip to end with...is it just me or do all refs love Liverpool even at Youth level ? 2 blatant sending offs for the centre half and keeper, a disallowed goal when 1 yard onside and the defender nearly catching the ball when Murphy's header was sailing in. I suppose some things never change !
cant believe it took so long for someone to say that! the centre halfs were awsome, they even head the ball! which is unknown for an arsenal player now.

I have seen this team play on a few occassions now and im very impressed, I think what some people are saying is true in the sense they wont ALL make it - especially as a lot of their success seems to come from the fact they work hard for each other as a team, and are hard to beat "as a unit" - and I think you will see some of them fall away as that team breaks up as they are fed into the first team set-up, its only natural.

BUT, i think most of them have a good chance of making it - the defence looks top drawer and the midfield looks combative as well. Man Yoo had a similar team (Beckham, Scholes, Giggs etc) and 5 or 6 of those made the breakthrough, grew up together and won lots together - and id say our youth team has the POTENTIAL to do great things.

Good luck to the lads tonight, lets hope for another great night at Anfield, they deserve it!!
