    I've found a programme* from 2011 against Manchester City in my office.

    (* you get them free in club level, before someone starts ****ing me off)

    Youth Section Players...

    Elton Monteiro
    Isaac Hayden
    Nigel Neita
    Jeffrey Monakana
    Zak Ansah
    Jordan Wynter
    Samir Bihmoutine
    Anthony Jeffrey
    Ben Glasgow
    Reice Charles-Cook
    Zachari Fagan
    Philip Roberts
    Alban Bunjaku
    James Campbell
    Jon Toral
    Kristoffer Olsson
    Sean McDermott
    Hector Bellerin
    Serge Gnabry
    Callum Webb
    Chuba Akpom
    Jack Jebb
    Josh Rees

    Hector, of course. Chuba, nearly.

    Serge is doing ok in Germany, I think

    Isaac Hayden at Newcastle?
    Jon Toral at Hull?

    The others may have disappeared up their own arse, Hleb style.



    We got beat 0-1 that night, IIRC

    Wasn't Akpomp playing last night? Impressive that he's still in the youths 6 years later imo.

    Reice Charles Cook was good lad.

    His family were absolutely lovely people too.

    He had high hopes to be England's 1st Black Goalkeeper but he had too much in front of him at the time to decided to move on.

    He joined Coventry and earned the nickname - Black Magic for his brilliant displays in goal.

    He's currently at Swindon.

    I'll pass on your regards.

    kind regards

    Your best mate

    Mickey Pearce



    PS Serge Gnarbry - what a waste. He unfortunately has very bad weight issues and an addiction to fat burning tablets so we cut him.

    I couldn't give two fúcks about these kids until such a point that they become first team players in the real competitions at which point I can slowly grow to dislike them or in certain cases absolutely fúcking hate them.

    No more heroes.

    Perhaps, you had to be there. A wonderful night for the young fella.

    Never mind the tournament. Here was a great moment. The whole point of football is basically the moment your team scores a goal. Especially when you know your team is unlikely to win any of the two prestigious tournaments before the stars fall from the sky.

    I was busy telling myself how I absolutely didn't give a flying fùck about going out of this cup to a team that were bigger, faster, stronger, better organised and for the most part more technically accomplished than the rabble wearing Arsenal shirts, who are getting paid ten times as much or whatever as the Norwich boys.

    We had another corner. "I'm not sure what the point is for us of these corners" I said. "Their blokes are twice the height of ours and win everything." Then Arsene chucked another kid on to give him a run out with a few minutes left, like in Belgrade. He went up and scored with his first touch on his home debut. A wonderful moment.

    Extra time. Another corner. The little lad leaped like the proberbial salmon above all these giant blokes and headed home the winner. A joyous moment for anyone there supporting Arsenal whose heart is not made of stone.

    That's all rather nicely put.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Well said, a. Well said*. :hug:

    *I mean, obviously, I wouldn't have gone there myself in a blue fit, but your encomium is worthy of note.

    Key issue here A.

    My phone buzzed, this lad's name came up. My kid asked me who he was and I simply replied that I did not know.

    George Graham or Alan Smith would've been proud of that header. We will not forget the lad's name in a hurry.

    Whatever it is
