Who, Pepe? He's the fourth name down.

It was entirely chosen from the semi-final teams in the end

If the academy needs an indoor pitch as OSB58 mentions though it's a no-go as that's not part of any plans, the only indoor football will just be a nicer version of what's already there with the big halls.

They're aiming to open it Autumn 2018.

A few weeks ago we hosted some kind of Premier League U-13 tournament with West Brom and Norwich in the final on the plush pitch. Benfica were there too for some reason. It's depressing to see kids a third your age with more footballing ability than you could ever hope to have. They all looked...

Pulled Apart By Horses

What are the basic requirements for the academy? I've been in very low-level ('you use the sports hall, come have a look at the new one') consultation about the plans for this but didn't consider the club might be interested. Brief plans for it here -...

There was a lot of that in general. In addition to some woeful finishing I don't remember seeing as much in the way of over/underhit crosses and miscontrol across the board in a tournament before. Not even the ball's fault this time like it normally is either.

Were we interested in Moussa?

We operate on pretty much the same timescale every year. It'd be great to have everything done and dusted in plenty of time for the first game, but at this level where you're relying on what other teams pass up or lend out it's a waiting game and goes right to the transfer deadline quite a lot...

On the plus side, France conceded two knockout goals to Iceland too which proves beyond a doubt our defence is at least on the runners-up level. DON'T QUESTION THE LOGIC

I'm definitely remembering it wrong, but it felt as though Lallana could have bagged a hat-trick against Russia. Seems so long ago now, that game.

A lot's been made over Portugal only winning one game over 90 minutes in the whole tournament, but that's what they came up with extra time for. The only team to go undefeated in the whole thing (although a few teams out on penalties may be counted as drawing their games), so it's hard to argue...

This time last year we'd brought in Stokes, Ricketts and Vincelot and no loans yet.

It's not just that one article, that's just an easy example to find. As I say I've not seen him play so my hope is based on other people's possible exaggeration.

I'm sure he hopes the same for every player, but if one's being highlighted particularly there has to be something there. It's no guarantee of anything, but then if we had a player who was guaranteed they'd probably have been long gone already.

There's a bit further down that stood out for me 'And hopefully he can push and force himself into the first team picture. At this moment, as I said to him at the end of the season, his role will be to lead the Under-21 team and if and when he’s required he needs to be ready so the day he gets...

Quite a bit of it was from Mowbray himself though, if Lawton hadn't have crocked himself there's the suggestion he'd have had the chance to play himself into the squad last season http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/ivor-lawton-could-iconic-player-9293851

He hasn't been let go yet and he's around the age where he'd either make the step up or move on. He's been talked up a bit too
