Amazing. I think either Belgium or Holland (or both) don't play by the usual age group rules. And looking at that you can see why.

Hopefully the dam wall has burst.

Quite a record we had going there. Time to start again i guess.

The better U23s have been loaned or in our squad.

Anyone older than 18/19 should be looking to move on from under age football.

UEFA Youf League semi's on today.

City v Barca
Chelsea v Porto

Final on Monday

 

[moomba]

Chelsea playing Barca in the finals.

Chelsea beat Porto on pens. We came back from 5-2 down with 10 men, but lost 5-4.

 

[chef]

Bring on Barca

We offered 3m for Ampadu, Exeter said no so we went to the tribunal. We now have to pay 1.3m rising to 2.5m with add ons.

Seems fair to me. Ampadu's father coaches the Arsenal U18 and since his arrival our academy has turned right around. Last night our U23 claimed the title and our U18's play you guys in the FA youth cup final. I think its fair to say Ampadu's father would have had a far greater influence on him that Exeter would have.

Some games still to go but this is the table with Arsenal as champions of the U23s.

Why was he at Exeter in the first place?

Barca ended up winning the youth league. Beat Chelsea 3-0 in the final.

Yeah, we were pretty shit.

Didn't see the game, but unusual for your lot. Normally very professional/efficient/clinical in the big games.

Good to see Reo Griffiths continuing to find the back of the net. Converted into a ST this year because the youth coaches saw similar traits to one Harry Kane at that age, Kane himself was more of an AM at youth level

 

[chef]

Nice bounce back by our youf, beating Arsenal 3-1 in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup Final.
