Thanks. That confirms my impression. Seeing Wenger starting a team with an average age of 19 made me think that, at least to the big clubs, it's not that big of a deal. Still, it's cool to see sides like Burnley and Watford in it. Of course, the quarterfinal draw will probably pit Aresenal with Man U.

Let me hasten to add that I'm not proclaiming him the best coach on the planet (or even in the Prem), just the best when it comes to working with the youngsters.

Just kidding...I don't think you're ugly.
Just have a quick football question: Is there any esteem attached to the Carling Cup? I know it's not on a footing with the FA Cup or Prem title. But is winning it cause for celebration?
