I quite enjoyed it, Aresnal were by far the better footballing team and we did lump it aimlessly, but there were one or two players who showed a bit of class for us. The two Philips did well.

we aint got a bloody clue, commentator summed us up pretty easy, were a defensive team and dont have a clue how attack or break down teams unless its a long ball, we have two wingers on why aint we spreading the play making their 10 men work hard? Admirable performance in lots of ways. But we haven't got much of a clue how to retain possession, have we? Sounds familiar It was interesting seeing two such contrasting styles. It was almost like two different sports at times.

Saw the last 40 mins of the game.
I know its Arsenal TV, but them commentators were shocking, we hoofed... .long ball, they hoofed it, beautiful pass.
I was at underhill for the Arsenal Res away game, and all I can say is, Arsene Wenger goes round europe nicking the best youngsters he can find, eventually they get into the reserves where they play alongside Established international footballers coming back from Injury (Eduardo tonight, Silvestre at underhill) . In the 2 games we have scored twice against them in each game, and lost just one of the games. Now either their "kids" aren't all they are cracked upto be, or ours are better than we think. Thought Jimmy Philips looked inventive, but looks like he could do with 6months plus playing for a Division 2 side, or maybe even Crewe, he needs to get some serious football under his belt. Demar looked lively

Fully enjoyed tonight, my first reserve game. The lads worked real 'ard. At one point there was a single person watching the game in the away end. Wish I had my camera
'is that all you bring away?!'

They've got the next big thing in Wilshere, one of Europes most clinical strikers in Eduardo along with other 1st teamers like Randall.
We had a team of 16/17 years olds with Demar and the 4 18 year olds we offered deals to last season

Wilsheres first goal was quality, neat finish, Ashley Page's header was nice as well.
Resever games are so weird for some reason, probably the atmosphere but we had some good banter with some Stoke born Arsenal 'fans' in the second half

Bischoff should have walked-petulant little knobsack. And that tackle their captain did was horrific.
Demar was by far our best player as he should have been, being the most senior amongst them. His Brother played well too. I wouldn't trust Danzelle on the bench-he has no command of his area whatsoever. We did really well against the team we played. They were petulant, diving, cheating scumbags, so no doubt they'll have long and prosperous careers. Liner did well too, to get that dirty tosser sent off and to flag for offside against Eduardo. I'm pretty certain he was onside. Wilshire looked class but the rest of them were poor.
Well done the youth reserve team!

Bayern. I thought that young lad who came on near the end looked to have potential Jay Emmanuel-Thomas

Bayern if you'd of seen Danzelle when he first joined our academy you'd be amazed at how hes improved. I think hes worked on every other area of his game and got them too a good standard so the command of his area will probably come with experience and age. Also Simo is hardly the most commanding

He had a good touch and good turn of pace but I wasn't overly impressed with any of them truth be told. It was a good game though.

Also Simo is hardly the most commanding I don't think Simmo's good enough Bucko! He worried me tonight did Danzelle. There were two times where he could have got the ball but daudled and got injured for his troubles. He looked scared to make the decision. Same with the fart arse he did for the corner that led to the goal. He could have clawed that in. He did do the ultra safe option but it was a bit wishy washy. I know he's only young but its worrying.

I don't think Simo is for this league either. DSLH has time on his side though and I think he wants it.
Interesting point about Warwick Alexander, when asked what he would be if not a footballer he replied 'nothing because I WILL be a footballer'. Great confidence and he got himself in tip top shape last summer and has reaped the rewards this season with his goals and performances

Great confidence and he got himself in tip top shape last summer and has reaped the rewards this season with his goals and performances I agree Bucko but he DSLH needs to sort it sharpish because there was one at the end where the ball was 4/5 yards away from him and he hesitated, whereas he should have won it and hurt their player too. Keepers can do that but he daudled and got hurt himself. Its a just worry from me that's all. I like the confidence too but he's got a dodgy barnet!

Oh and I found the fact we had Rodney and Danzelle playing in the same team most amusing! ;D Especially as they were against Tom Cruise and Emaneulle-who did look like a TP signing Dave.
