[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Shame he's gone.

* that's a blow.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

United U18s 4-1 Blackburn U18s.
It was 3rd v 4th so it was an important result.
We move above 'pool to 2nd but have played a game more.

Anyone know where I can see the remaining teams in the U23s Cup? Liverpool beat Huddersfield 3-0 (Wasn't on LFCTV).

Edit: Found it https://www.premierleague.com/tables?team=U21&co=9&se=67

 

[Magma]

u/18's beat boro 4-0, was 2-0 when we went down to 10.

matt smith, lukas nmecha (first game back from injury) and a phil foden brace.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Papers are running with a story saying that Paul Scholes has been asked to take over the U23s by Nicky Butt.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Barca are being pretty aggressive in their pursuit of The Angel. Copping the snubbles pretty hard though.

Gil has said that he isn't going anywhere despite all the big clubs in Europe constantly trying.

Who's the Angel?

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Who's the Angel?

Maaaaaaate

Who's the Angel?

England u17s skipper. Most highly rated youth prospect since George Best.

Lol. Just small wraps on him then.

Always the death knell. The next Gerrard has been bestowed on many a young Liverpool youth prospect only for them to shockingly not be the next Steven Gerrard.

 

[moomba]

United have had a dozen next Bests since the first one.

The next Stevie G is currently playing at Rangers isn't he?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

The last next Best was Giggs. Not the worst player to come through the academy.

 

[jod23]

The next Stevie G is currently playing at Rangers isn't he?

Correct. I never saw it with him though. He has no athleticism and no pace. Nothing like Stevie G.

 

[RossFC]

I called him the next Jay Spearing while he was at the club.

 

[jod23]

I called him the next Jay Spearing while he was at the club.

Yep, pretty much. I never thought he would make it at all.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

City with a big 6-1 win over wolves yesterday.

United got the job done 4-0 away at Newcastle. Both U18s games.

 

[moomba]

I've not listened to it yet but this is a pretty extensive discussion on youth football, academies and EPPP.

Nice 2-1 win over WHU in the U18s. Raheem's little brother wins it from the spot.

Football observatory does some nice stuff. Good website.

 

[Magma]

went 2-0 up, then 4-2 down, and drew 4-4 with everton right near the end. some players in the side i'd never heard of. think one of the scorers may have been 15.

Out of necessity with injuries but looking forward to it. Was our best player against atletico and Juve in Melb imo

Nice to see Ake finally get his first start and get the winner
