Been involved in a debate on Reddit since about midnight about how often Chelsea bring players from their youth academy into their first team.

You could make the argument interesting by asking about English players who have come through the Academy in the past 10 years or so. No doubt you will find yourself in bits as they try to claim Ryan Bertrand is the natural successor to Ashley Cole.
 
In a testimonial match recently, Franck Ribery asked another player to swap mascots as his was too tall. He felt that the lad would make him look small as he is only 5'7. Should worry less about himself and more about what the 2 kids felt like being swapped over. One feeling unwanted and the other spooked by being passed over to Ribery.

If this is important, we will have to make sure we get a toddler for Isgrove;)
 
The Football League returns tonight with Sheffield United v Notts County. We have 2 weeks more to wait. :(
 
Not surprised...you turn out when your club is saved. Also they have a sense of ownership. Apparently they are still owed a few humdred thousand in pledges...sadly true that not all people are good for their promises. The size of FP has also been reduced by a couple of thousand on safety grounds.
 
Sorry, just read the actual thread on it and you seem to have all said the same thing. And used the "there but for the grace...." part too. I feel like a fraud! :)
