Is this a big competition? Where does it stand compared to the FA youth cup?

I presume someone has the rights to this and that's why the club haven't been streaming it through Youtube?

No one is airing it and it's a final.


Seems like just poor planning from the premier league.

We'll dick 'em at home.

Bit naughty.. the club said earlier tonight that the second leg was free, but now they're saying £3 adults, £1 kids, and deleted the previous tweet.

Never the less, it was free to City STH's. Shame the club don't try and get more bums on seats by offering a similar deal.

How the f#ck can anyone claim that was a mistake?! They even took the trouble to put FREE in capitals! If it was a mistake then they clearly employ some really incompetent fools.

SCIAG In the U18s, I thought he was the best centre half we've produced since Pearce (though Dickie might take that title now).

Since then, he seems to have floundered. He's been used in every position under the sun, and was overlooked for the bench in favour of first Keown and then Sweeney. I doubt we'll renew his contract now.


He young, he's a hot head, shouldn't be crucified by us, hopefully he's learnt his lesson. Apart from that he's the best long range passer of the Ball I have ever seen at
that age group and the most determined. Remember he was Captain of the under 18s and he lead by example. Too bad the 1st Team Players don't have the same intensity
