So I see your post further down page laker, remind since fergie only gets credit because of the class of 92 and othr tripe, remind please who was the last before Wilshire and Cole u brought through your famed academy? Yes I no there is a few but I would suggest your total is not even half as many as United
I no will will prob name me countless youth products u have brought through your famed youth academy and played a big part in your squad u no much like fletcher, Brown, o'shea, evans etc, then maybe u could tell me the ones who were deemed not good enuff that went on to forge themselves a decent career in football, u no much like bardsley, Higginbotham, Pilkington, shawcross etc.
Once again i'm staggered at your red tinted glasses mate, u seem to only ever have an opinion negative about rival clubs but when it comes to your precious arsenel everything is hunky dory.
Much like that silly person u have posting atm in vally gooner who I must say is very quick off the mark to call us a bigger joke than his own club lol I mean come on the season is half way through and imo u will finish 3rd, while I see us finishing 4th at least, wow just imagine that vally, after all that talking u only finish a place above us and 3rd overall in a league where the top clubs are all in major change? We will still be a bigger joke than arsenal?


Onto money really with 13 PL medals since 92 and 2 champions leagues a few league cups and fa cups I would say it is money well spent imo and peanuts compared to the sugar daddy clubs and this while servicing a huge debt placed upon us by our owners to buy the club u all like reminding us about, maybe the real question would be why wenger continues to allow u to stay un competitive. Maybe its all the arsenal hating media like cross or Law, oh wait ever newspaper I pick up cross may aswel rename his articles me thinks.

Ure club I must add always does act with a respectful and dignified manner it seems, Suarez apart, shame its fans like vally and laker that dnt follow suit hey.
Oh well every club has them I suppose.
Anyeayst u get my point, u are a club by no means

Well that was good CTR. Give yourself a round of applause. U have misquoted everything I said and missed all the points like every other united fan. I said we didn't have a DECLINE as quickly as you have. We went unbeaten. Following season we finish 2nd and won the F.A cup. Vieira penalty? I'm sure u remember that! Uve gone from champions to awful in 6 months! Can u see why I'm calling you a joke at the minute?.

UTD got extremely lucky with the 'class of 92' or whatever it was. Many teams have had successful youth/local set-ups. Celtic had a set-up of young-ish Scotsmen, born within a limited amount of miles from Celtic Park. Athletico Bilbao, untill recently, have only ever signed young players of Basque origin whilst keeping their morals.

You cannot say UTD's youth set-up is any different from most of the more well-off teams, most take players from all over England and the rest of the UK and give them a chance. UTD got lucky, a one off, like few before.

You talk about your money well spent compared to the doe the 'sugardaddys' or 'oligarchs' spend on these plastic clubs, but you forget, UTD have spent some of the biggest transfers in the leagues history. 30 mill for Rio almost 10 years ago? Almost 30 for an unproven 18 year old Rooney? Veron, Anderson, Nani, and many, many others. You have spent 100's of millions just taking punts on players. You were the first, maybe not as bad as the one's we see now, sugardaddy club.

Since gaining academy status in 1997 some major arsenal graduates:

Ashley cole
Stuart Taylor
Jay Borthroyd
jermaine pennant
jeremie aliadiaire
steve sidwell
David Bently
justin Hoyte
Seb Larsson
yohann Djouru
Cesc Fabregas
NICKLAS BENDTNER (:O)
fabrice muamba
anthony stokes
matt connonly
Kieran Gibbs
Wojciech szczesny
nacer barazite
fran merida
armand traore
kyle bartley
connor henderson
jack wilshere
manu frimpong
alban bunjaku
james cambell


all the players I have named have played in the top flight (of the main 5 nations being england, spain, germany, italy and france)

and I have left out some of the more recent ones who are at championship clubs causing a ruckus like Henri lansbury.

not much of a failure, but I see your point about us not utilizing our academy graduates enough.

i really wish that we'd taken stick for many years for not having silverwear and giving youngsters a chance.

How AWESOME would it be to have been branded a paedo for using youngsters in a team, the for that team to have a decent young squad and their 'failures' go on to have successful careers in football. man I wish that was us.
