Did anyone catch the u18 game vs chelsea u18 after the stoke match, taking place during the emirates? if you did, some questions:
1. did any players overly impress you?
2. did any players look good enough to be promoted?
3. did any players look out of their depth and not good enough for arsenal?
4. did we win and what was the score?
5. what was the atmosphere like?

I was there for the first half only, and when I left it was 1-0 to the Arsenal. Ansah grabbed the goal, and he was impressive throughout. I was also looking forward to seeing Jon Toral and he was class when he was on the ball. The player that really impressed me was Roberts though (wearing the no.9, didn't catch his first name). His work rate was phenomenal and he really impressed me

Sounds like they were testing the waters for a change in format to next summer's Emirates Cup.

There were far more than 300 people - at least 2000 maybe even 3500

Seriously though, perhaps the idea was to test the level of enthusiasm out there for watching Arsenal reserve/u18 fixtures.
Could generate a bit more money for the club if there is.
