Research shows than both have captained Burnley U23s, despite being younger than other players.

We know that both players have excellent pedigree.  Glennon spent about 11 years at Liverpool.  His talent spotted an early age.

Benson has virtually the same career path at Arsenal, joining them at age 7 and also remaining there about 11 years. He was featured in a "one to watch article".

We are fortunate to have them.

(Heard some managers being critical of Academies. Top teams are used to dominating possession. However, when they haven't got the ball some players are at a loss to know what to do).

This.

What's the point in surrendering a grudge that's a paltry 50ish years old, when you'll forget it forever once you croak?

It runs in the family. My father held a grudge against Hitler for interrupting his cricket career and killing himself just so he didn’t have to apologise.

Glennon took a lot of the plaudits on Saturday and I'm certainly not going to deny him those.

But I thought Benson was absolutely outstanding.  Speed of thought matches that of his feet, absolute breath of fresh air in midfield and I can't wait to see what he's like when he's at full fitness.

Is there any chance of either getting an England u21 call up next month; noting that the england u21s play at Burnley in one of their forthcoming games?!

(admittedly, I don't follow the U21s closely, but given that Southgate likely to call up Henderson, Abraham, Mount etc...., for the full squad, I'm guessing u21s has gaps?!?!)

Seems unlikely as they don't appear to have any previous England age group call ups and a couple of drawn games in divison 4 is probably not going to swing it.
