Arsene Wenger does it again. With a team with an average age less than 20, they took on and defeated a full strength Blackburn side 3-2. Mark Hughes acknowledged the strength of these kids and compared them with Fergie's golden brigade of youngsters in the 90s. What was impressive was when Blackburn came back from two goals to equalize, they retained their cool and even when they went one man down, they managed to nick the match 3-2. Two goals came from their oldest player Eduardo who is 24 years old!! As one paper said, it was boys against men, but it was the boys who were teaching the lesson!! Your comments on this. Cheers! Ram

Impressive how they did not lose control of the game after the red card. Playing as visitors with one man less and Blackburn with the upper hand. More experienced teams fell off in those circumstances, they survived.

As they say the boys are coming off age. I think Arsenal is gearing up for a golden decade ahead. Cheers! Ram

Arsenal's boys were playing well at first, and were showing skills and deft touches. But once they got tired, the didnt play as impressively, but thats to be expected as they are still young.
