Disappointment for our under 18’s against Arsenal: (0-6)

It was a game for Scott Parker’s under 18 side to forget earlier today in their under 18 league game against rivals Arsenal. Bearing in mind this Arsenal team are supremely talented along with the fact that Parker fielded a very young side including two schoolboys (Walcott and Bennett). It could well have been an off day for our lads from what’s sounds like a very good attacking display from Arsenal, who went into halftime four goals to the good. At the end of the day it’s the experiences and situations these players will learn from rather than the numerical result after 90 minutes. Spurs should publish an official match report by tomorrow. Our under 18’s host Aston Villa next Saturday at Hotspur way in the premier league cup. COYS

By the way this is a brilliant piece on former Spurs coach Chris Ramsey’s approach to youth football, especially about results: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog/espn-fc-united/68/post/3273573/chris-ramsey-explains-player-development-at-queens-park-rangers-tottenham-including-harry-kane
