Our kids are very decent
I'll see you then, I enjoy watching the kids and it will be good to see them playing against European competition. I'm especially interested to see them against the Spanish.
Cool. Sounds like a fun tournament. Been wanting to see the kids live, was thinking last season how i'd rather be watching the kids train week in week out. This could be my Season card alternative.
We beat defending champions Man City in our opening game. 0-1 Mandron with the winner late on. Highlights here. http://www.safc.com/news/academy-news/2015/august/u21-highlights League table looks like this Sunderland: Pld1-W1-D0-L0-Pts3 Borussia Monchengladbach: Pld1-W0-D1-L0-Pts1 Manchester City: Pld2-W0-D1-L1-Pts 1 Athletic Club Bilbao: Pld0-W0-D0-L0-Pts0
So weird how we seem to have a non-stop stream of quality keepers coming through but ****e every other position . I'd suggest we must have a **** hot GK coach but apparently our current one only joined us when Dick did so that explains nothing!
Must admit the first save that was shown when he tipped one over the bar had shades of Monty about it.
