    Spurs U21’s, U18’s and other youth news – 2015/16 Edition

    I'd thought I'd cut in to make a few points about the article @IGSpur linked to as it's simpler here, without the character restriction, than on twitter. Firstly my use of "members" when talking about Barcelona was rather vague; what I meant was club members who for Barcelona are rather like...

    Hi again, I thought you folks might have a keen interest in the U17 Euros, what with it being the best chance yet for many of you to get a proper look at Marcus Edwards (hopefully, presuming he starts, and you have Eurosports or the almighty gall to watch illegal streams of Eurosports), so I...

    I see Les Reed has come out in the Times today against the new agent rules taking particular exception to the part I was most doubtful of, but didn't mention in my post, which is the aspect of unlicensed agents, and if they're unlicensed how do you punish them for wrongdoing if there is no...

    For those who think my writing best left alone, I've got some really important information in here around the Daily Mail links that you should go straight to and then read my analysis (and then, of course, read the rest of this post as it does all link in). I'll start by saying I'm not hugely...

    I don't think the stats tell you nearly as much this season about Roberts as the eye does. Magath put him on as sub against Tyrone Mings in Fulham's first championship game and he ripped up, what is now regarded as one of the Championships best left backs, for the next ten minutes. Other...

    Many excellent points here. The first thing I'd say is have you seen recent editions of the La Liga promises tournament? It's no insult for all those who haven't, but it's an U12 showcase tournament held in Spain from 26th-28th December incorporating La Liga and foreign sides such as...

    Yes I was rather dubious about those as it was a vague way of skipping a lengthy assessment of each player's weaknesses and strengths. The essential point was that physique, particularly when you're at a match, is a far more tangible and visceral thing than technique or intelligence and is the...

    I thought I'd avoid the first fiery blasts of the fallout till things had cooled a little, but before commenting on the game from a Chelsea viewpoint, I'd like to mention something that is often missed amid the disappointment of defeat: the long term benefits of a heart breaking loss. In the...

    Greatly enjoyed the general quality of play (watching bits of the club's respective U12's and U15's this year I think it's soon going to be even higher). I thought you deservedly won based on the defensive work of Amos, Owens and CCV (I'm far more excited about him than Solanke and Abrahams...

    I thought I'd start off today's FAYC comments by thanking you for your welcome and going through a few of the points raised in response to my original post, plus a little titbit on Chelsea for tonight. Firstly sorry to disappoint you that the Chels didn't get battered on Sunday, but I at least...

    Hi I'm new here (and a Chelsea fan, though I'm predominantly neutral when it comes to youth football, and a massive fan of your academy, which is how I ended up on this board, silently observing for the last year or so). One of the things about this board is that is fairly insular and having...
