The future of football.... is not at Newcastle FC......its at the Boro! Middlesbrough v Man Utd FA Youth Cup Final 1st Leg Sky Sports 3 8pm 2nite Shud be a gud match
c'mon the boro boro always impress in the milk cup, a youth tournament held back home in N.I., i remember a boro team beat a man U team (including chadwick) in the under 16 section final of the competition, boro's youth system is very good.
It was only last year that Newcastle under 17s were picking up trophies! Our junior system has suffered this year as our best kids (Chopra & Steven Taylor) play for the reserves rather than junior teams. Also Alan Irvine leaving club caused a problems as Kenny Wharton & Peter Beardsley have had problems with some/lot of the kids & there parents. Mainly Neale McDermott (now @ Fulham) & his dad Terry McDermott, there are also problems with England U18 internationals Beaumont & Gardener, Ireland U20 international Kendrick has been told he can leave & has been on trial with Hartlepool.
Also Sunderland under Howard Wilkinson appointed the bloke who ran Ajax of Amsterdam youth system for the last 15 years to run/start up the Academy Of Light as of next season. But now Howard has gone I am not sure whether he will join Sunderland So the future is Boro for now......
Very true, ebbs and flows between clubs! If any1 is gona watch it 2nite a few players to look 4 are Andrew Davies, CB whos played for the first team but will prob start 2nite up front!, Ross Turnbull England youth keeper, Niklas Nordgren swedish striker
yep davies will make it big time i'm certain of it, he has so much composure already for a young lad, and a big frame to boot. think we stand a good chance against the mancs.. this team plays really well for each other.
Re: The future of football.... Ah ha!! So that's what it was. I was walking past a pub had a quick look in saw on the tele it said these teams and thought- hmmm I'm sure man u are playin arsenal tomorrow. thans anyway at least that meant I wasn't going blind
What woz the score? The last I herd the score was 1-0 to the mancs, that kid who they nicked off West Ham had scored
finished 1- 0. the kids did well though.. just got to hope to step it up a gear back at old trafford.
Finished 2-0 conceeded a goal in the 89 min, makes the scoreline flatter them which the match didnt. Was very even apart from first 20 mins when boro werent there at all
Was a good match m8, boro played well thought they were gonna nik it but united got a second!!!!, future looks bright for boro though some quality players on show last nite!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah the number 11, called Chris Brunt, looked really good last nite. As well as Andy Davies n Ross Turnbull
