I didn't think Spurs looked more classy though - first half was even and we edged second half but tired in the last 10 when they came more into it. Think on the balance, we deserved the win.

Does that suggest that the bigger clubs really do just pick up the talent rather than producing it?
But look at who the three teams are? Burnley were in the Prem very recently and are well known for their youth development, Forest have a very good reputation for youth development every since Paul Hart was there and perhaps before. And Charlton.
People have been talking about this batch of players for 3 or 4 years as one of the best groups as opposed to individuals for a long while.
Very true, but you'd expect the likes of Arsenal, City, Liverpool (and of course Palace and West Ham who have the best academies in the world) to be really involved at this stage.
I don't pay a hell of a lot attention to the national youth league to be honest so was just wondering.

Nature of a knock out competition that some "best academy in the world" teams will play other powerful teams.
Our U18 league games show us holding our own with the likes of West Ham, Arsenal, Southampton and Palace.
Also some eligible Prem club players may already be out on loan to league Clubs
Remember playing united in an evening match at the valley and there was severe crowd congestion. I don't think I got in till 20 minutes into the first half. Think united had a lot of their golden generation playing but the score escapes me. I bought mutv for game up there when miles Weston and Harry arter played for us. Think we got spanked. Come on boys, third time lucky.
