I see it could be an all English semi final line-up. What price a NLD final! Tottenham Hotspur vs. Sporting CP Chelsea vs. Juventus/Rosenborg Aston Villa vs. Olympiacos Arsenal vs. CSKA
UEFA haven't got around to rigging the draw for this yet, then? The fact that it's run from Kentish Town might have something to do with that, though... Sporting have been very impressive so far, so it's not an ideal draw, by any means. Being at home (sort of) is nice, though.
THFC U21s 4-0 WBA U21s. Munns with the opener and third, with goals from Mini Bale and Coulthirst to keep our almost ridiculous scoring record at this level up. We've now netted 68 times in 20 games, if I've worked it out correctly. Edit: One other thing of note is that we seem to have changed a lot of the team and are still getting impressive results. Good sign.
From what was appearing on the Official Twitter feed Carroll was always getting himself involved in buildup as well. Nice to see him still performing well still.
After having seen Coulthirst involved in the prematch warm up on Sunday, I wished we had him on the bench, there wasn't much to lose once the penalty went in.

Given the dire conditions, and not the first choice MF/attack lineup, this was a very impressive display today by the U21s.
Ah, I saw him on the bench but assumed that the spare man always did that. Shame AVB didn't throw him on then.
Dire conditions indeed. In fact I half expected to see little Jack Munns get lifted up by the wind and blown all the way up the A10 to Royston !! As you say though, a very competent and professional display today with Baby Bale again impressing and also a very good game from Bentaleb who shone throughout. Nathan Byrne continues to impress me and whilst I enjoyed some of Huddlestone's passing, I had a feeling he felt it was beneath him to be playing at this level. Off now to thaw out !
During that camera shot on the dugout it looked like Hudd had a haircut, (not while he was there!) can't be certain but it did look like it, anyone know different?
"Off now to thaw out !" You were sitting in the dugout shielded by the perspex hoardings. God, that wind though. You see it when the WBA GK leathered the ball high and it boomeranged back towards him. I said we were lucky not to score during the first 5 mins when the snow was coming in horizontal. The WBA team would have good cause for stopping or abandoning the game.
It's a long time since I've seen that happen to a keeper. For the benefit of those who were not there, he cleared the ball into the wind and it was blown back in boomerang fashion for a corner !!!!
