1. Right now they may not be favourites but they have a damn good chance of the league.
2. We don't bring youth through because we see it as too much of a risk and offer them 10 minutes at the end of a game that's dead
3. Right now we are in what you could call a perfect position to offer chances to the younger lads, we have fuck all to play for, yet we still ship out Bamford and have Falcao here, we still see RLC for one cup game, he scores and then is immediately demoted to the bench. I keep hearing "He isn't good enough" why isn't Bamford/RLC good enough, why? There isn't a reason because with a reason there has to be solid evidence based on consistent game time.
Year on year these kids win things, the media, the TV pundits go fucking wild for the performances, but what do we see? Fuck all, this club is a total joke if you just step back and take a look at what's going on for a few minutes.
