2-3 to Chelsea. Osuwu scored a second.

Scores went 0-1 (Tammy Abraham - CFC, 0-2 (Reece Mitchell - CFC), 1-2 (De'juane Taylor-Crossdale [or whatever] RFC), 2-2 (Nana Owusu - RFC) 2-3 (Charles Musonda - CFC).

Isn't Nana Owusu a relative of Lloyd?

2-3 to Chelsea. Osuwu scored a second.

Scores went 0-1, 0-1, 1-2 (TC), 2-2 (Owusu) 2-3.

Going 1-0 up twice must have been frustrating.

his grandmother?

It's an odd article though isn't it.

Dolan says in one breath we've got to be the most attractive club for developing young players but in the next sentence pretty much proves that Southampton are.

Isn't his point that Saints were, partly because they were outside the PL. Now they're up there so have less facility for bringing through youth which makes us the ideal replacement choice.

Highlights of the Arsenal U21 match for those with RFC player.

That run by Tanner at the end of normal time... <3

[sandman]

This shit is starting to get serious. I think Tanner is going to have to take out a restraining order soon.

[winchester_royal]

Green is an ugly colour on you Sandy..

[sandman]

Not sure how anyone would be green with envy with the most boring student on the face of the Earth.

But as I was just joking around I'll let your little outburst pass.

[winchester_royal]

You stay classy m8.

[Ian Royal]

I like the way Tanner scored with what were essentially 2 shit tap ins having also beaten half the Arsenal team running the length of the pitch and not being able to finish it off.

[sandman]

You stay classy m8.

Lighten up winchy, I'm begging ya.

And oh look above there's Cyrano de Ian.

Saints absence from top league football was for seven seasons relegated in the 2004 / 2005 season returning to the Premier League for the 2012 /2013 season.

Before 2004 and still to this day Saints have had one of the best and most regarded academy systems in the country.

Hasn't stopped them giving academy players their debuts this season.

[Victor Meldrew]

have just noticed that Arsenal U 19s are playing Barcelona U 19s.
Anybody know if there is some kind of European Elite league and do we actually have an U19s?

[ZacNaloen]

yeh it's like european youth super cup or something like that

[winchester_royal]

Only CL clubs are in it. The English teams that do particip8 play their U18's.

[Royals and Racers]

Match over at Craven cottage-Fulham won 2-1 so Reading will meet Fulham in the 2 leg FA Youth cup semi-final with the 1st leg at Reading

[maffff]
