Agree with this. Wasn't that bad. Tried to play a decent ball with pace which was intercepted. These young players are all learning their craft and will make mistakes in the process but who doesn't? The pressure of criticism can destroy a promising youngster. Look how good Murphy looked in a new...

I have always thought the University is the answer. My son plays academy football and we have visited a few clubs who share University sites for their first team or academy training facilities and the arrangement in each case seems to work well. This development looks great but lacks an indoor...

It was mistakenly reported that he was sent back from Barnsley because he wasn't good enough. The Barnsley manager quickly corrected this by saying Crowley was the best 18 year old he had ever worked with and Arsenal wanted him back. Had always hoped we might get him on loan being a Cov kid and...

The club will be well aware of what facilities are required to maintain Cat 2 status and any compromise with the FA is unlikely. Cat 3 clubs who missed out on 2 would not be pleased.

Blimey. I'm really feeling my age purely cos I know which Brian Moore he meant and you don't!

So how much did we sell him for?

Why do you have to bring my wife into this?

Not been questioned on here but the attendance last night meant that the ground was apparently less than half full. Didn't look like 16500 empty seats to me.

Forgive SISU? No. Concede that at last they're doing things the way they should have in the first place? Maybe.
