Shit draw for the youngsters?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Great draw, another challenge, they have shown they are up for this by beating a quality outfit in Aston Villa.

Home draw is what was wanted. Not some London training ground? Or Upton Park ?

At least three West Ham youngsters have been playing for lower League teams. Two will be back by January. And I think they can play even if they are on loan.

Still to win the FA Youth Cup this is the sort of opposition we have to beat.
