I think they have to be, yes.

Should be given a dedicated away end at Stamford Bridge again, was brilliant when we got them in the FAYC Semi 2 years ago, probably about 300 there and a good atmosphere. Hope that can be recreated.

Great result, look forwad to the semis

Also Scotland u16s beat Croatia u16s 1 - nil and Binks started. Great result against a typically quality youth footballing nation

 

[IGSpur]

IGS - how long have you been following the youth sides? It appears that we have never had so much potential coming through before. In the past there was always the odd one, can you put your finger on when and how that all changed?

Properly paying attention since 2011 I reckon.

Quite simply the answer is when we revamped the academy. Its been mentioned before the but the first year to have felt the effects of that change would have been the Townsend, Mason, Caulker year group. And look how many we have seen come through since then. It's not coincidental. High class coaching, equals top youth players being coached to a PL standard.

The age groups since then have produced better and better players unsurprisingly as we get players who have only known this level of coaching. Just about getting them through

 

[Goldman]

Great result. Presumably the Chelsea games will be available on Chelsea TV?

I seem to remember watching us play Chelsea on Sky a year or so ago. But I can't remember if that was a cup or league game.

they might be on itv4 or at least one of them, chelseatv will have them though. the game you're referring to was probably the cup semi two years ago, we won the 1st leg at whl 2-0 but lost the 2nd leg 5-2 at the bridge.

 

[DJS]

Had him down as my 16th. He was the only one I had question marks over, as after Poch jr was included he was the only one I thought my have to make way, so we didn't go over numbers, but now its been confirmed.

'll try and do the full list and a a little bit about each player later, as some might find it useful

Poch's son is in our youth set up?

For future reference www.spurs.co.uk and @SpursOfficial on twitter surprisingly have spurs related information including teamsheets, scores and official news. Both can be found using a search engine such as Google. Google is a website found on the Internet. The Internet is also referred to as the World Wide Web. Hope this helps with any future questions you may need answered.

I was going to give you an "i" rating, but unfortunately you forgot to tell me the full address of "google". I won't "doh" rate you either though because you did get up ever so early to provide me the required information I requested, and, as we all know, I'm a bigger person than that.

 

[DJS]

Apologies if been covered in here but what are the thoughts on Ogiville?

I see he's just signed a new contract recently but also sent back to Stevenage on loan so not sure what to make of that.

Should he be anywhere near first team contention and be able to cover for Rose maybe next season in attacking left wing back role?

Would be nice obviously if we can promote from within to provide cover rather than having to buy someone who may rock the boat a bit if not able to get much game time due to Rose's awesomness.

It is www.google.kp

I am assuming you are in North Korea as you seem to have very restricted internet access.

If Spurs TV actually bothered to stream any of these matches or at least put up some 10 minute highlights i'd consider paying for it.

Anyway good win for the boys, anyone here gonna try go to the semi at whl?

when did he sign a new contract?

 

[DJS]

when did he sign a new contract?

I googled him yesterday and was sure I saw something saying he'd just signed a new one but must have been seeing things!

What about your opinion on him though??

 

[DJS]

D'oh he signed the new contract in Jan 2016, I'm still struggling to get to grips with it being 2017!

Yes

A very very good player, but his style arguably doesn't fit our style. He is more Corluka like, but still a quality player. Either way doesn't seem like Poch plans on using him soon so he will have to leave and work his way up. Brown or Tsaroulla would be our next best bets but I reckon there another season away to really be considered for contention.

Yes, I'm definitely going. Away leg at Stamford Bridge last time round was good fun, bar the scoreline.

Great achievement getting to the semis again, even more impressive when you consider how much we rotate our starting XL and given everyone chances. We have such a strong squad that players can come in and out without weakening it. And Edwards hasn't even featured once and Whiteman rarely

Goes to show that as we have said before there are so many good players in this team. It is our best since the Oduwa, Winks, Onomah team, which stupidly gave a hattrick away to Roberts at Fulham. We should have done a lot better that year.

Similarly this team as talent all over the pitch again. Better keepers, better or more depth in striker/wingers, probably same defence but again more depth there. Only area where we are slightly worse off is in midfield, but our midfield is still very good.

Hopefully we can win the FAYC at our last year at the lane. Getting past Chelsea will be as said before a hard task.

Before the season started, there was a lot of youth watchers looking forward to how us, City and Chelsea would do in the FAYC this year as it was City's golden generation and arguably ours and all 3 of us so far hasn't disappointed.

Highlights against Newcastle here, you have to sign up (free) though, quick process

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Who from this years development side is expected to kept/moved on?

Amos
Georgiou
Glover
Goddard
Harrison
Lesniak
Loft
Maghoma
McDermott
McGee
Miller
Muscat
Ogilvie
Owens
Pritchard
Stylianides
Tracey
Walker-Peters
Walkes

Are there any there who particularly fit our new favoured system 3421, or any who really don't?

Do the second year academy automatically go into the development squad, or will there be a fall out there too?
