...well, obviously. It needed some foresight and planning at the top. Two years ago we had the best bunch of u18s in the country. Instead of splitting them up the management should have kept them together for another few years. By about 2018 the Youth Cup would be.......oh, hang on a minute.....I think I might have overlooked something important......I'll get back to you.....

To summarise.
1- Crewe by far the better team. Very disciplined
2- Not surprised at our team, given that nearly all of last year's team have moved on
3- The U18's physio is a looker
4- Crewe fans are morons. Best encapsulated in the dying moments. The referee played advantage after we had fouled one of their players, only for Crewe to blaze their shot over the bar. The referee booked our player, but they were screaming the red should go back for the free kick

I can give it a go...

Khan took on Symons who was doing the youth setup well and instead leading the first team to play poor football? :)

Wasn't the U18 Steve Wigley's team? Then he went off to Nottingham Forest with Stuart Pearce

Are you employed by the club as a roving reporter?  Travelling up to Crewe for the U18s, what commitment, but wouldn't it be cheaper to get a girlfriend? (or boyfriend depending on your taste).

How times have changed!

I should clarify, boys aren't my type (but I've got no issue with the man-on-man crowd)
