This is why Chelsea win a lot of the youth cups - they have a team full of athletes who are bigger than everyone else at their level.
That is also why hardly ANY of them make anything of their careers - because when they soon realise everyone is the same size as them on the big stage and their technical ability isn't up to scratch.
Which is why winning these sort of things don't mean much in the grand scheme of things other then some experience of winning a cup at youth level. You only have to look at how many youth prospects we've produced compared to Chelsea who are playing top level Premier League football.

That's all well and good, and you're probably right, but we look very, very poor.
