Second year scholars are players aged between 17 and 18 who are training full time at London Colney. They can be part of the U18 or the U21 squads.
The aim for these players is to earn a professional contract at Arsenal for the following season.

Jeorge Bird's Arsenal Youth 
how is it going on with blackwood?
he’s been playing regularly at centre-back for the u-18s recently, but his form has been quite inconsistent.
I played with Craig Eastmond at Millwall when he was a 12 year old striker, top class. Hows he going now days, still fast and strong? And does he still have that birthmark on his ear~?
been offered a pro contract now
He’s a right-back now and his scholarship expires in the summer. It’s 50:50 at the moment whether he will get a pro deal but yeah he is very quick and strong and played for the reserves when he was still a schoolboy but hasn’t featured recently for them.
just been offered a pro contract with arsenal
What do you think of Luke Aling? I think he has done great this season.
ayling is good i agree
ayling is a very good defender. he is like vice captain as well. i hope he will get a pro contract but i reckon he will go out on loan for a season before. he can hopefully be a cover if any of the first team defenders get injured just like gibbs has been doing.
Roarie Deacon is the attraction of the moment. Hope he gets a pro contract. It would have been good to see him in this Carling Cup. But as most of you know boss Wenger is just too cautious with his youth players. Go Deacon, hope to see you in Carling 2010/11
