Arsenal side let out of school early to smash the Blades
Last night saw the youngest ever Arsenal side humiliate Sheffield United 6-0 in the third round of the Carling Cup and it turns out they had just 10 per cent of the top level football experience compared to their opposiiton.
The Sheffield United team, with former Premier League hotshots Lee Hendrie, James Beattie and Paddy Kenny in their starting eleven had started 2535 professional league games between them where as the Gunners side which included 16 year old Jack Wilshere had started a paltry 237 games.
Might these little pups have what it takes to snatch Man United’s Best kids Ever crown?

I never thought it was possible to find so much enjoyment from an Arsenal win - the fact it was Wenger’s teenagers who were responsible for the hammering makes it even better!

It’s not quite on the same level as Fergie, but these lads certainly look the business. Don’t know how’d they fare in the Prem, mind.

the second goal was the best though. the one where ramsey did all the work and sent a slick pass the way of bendtner i think. really nice goal it was.
