Some good players in there, with the one obvious stand out. Been impressed with Pearson, Wilson and Pereira whenever I've seen them aswell.

16:00hrs KO at Salford City stadi I believe.....

Edit - it's in the original post you tired, thick @#%&!..

Zidane's son in the Real Madrid squad. That'll make a lot of people feel old

Didn't know about this. Nice concept from UEFA. Should be nice to watch.

Didn't know either, cheers.

I'd like to spend a season just following this team home and abroad for a change. Wont be this year like but assuming it's a success and continues then I'll defo have a go at it one year.

£#%&!ing stupid idea. It's going to result in increased demand on some flights so parents who are taking their kids out of school in term time knowing they will be fined but getting cheaper flights are now utterly £#%&!ed

Januzaj played last night didn't he?

Serves them right for being shit poor parents.

Calling Nicky "Nicholas Butt" sounds well weird.

Will be on Eurosport.

Looks a good decision now to blank the Next Gen series and hopefully this one will be better.

United won the 2007 World Youth Cup in Malaysia, beating Barca, Inter, Juve and Porto and playing some great football. Even though not a single player made it through it was still a good indicator of the level the whole club was reaching at that time - as shown by what the 1st team went on to do in the CL

Here's a snap shot of that 2007 squad:


13. Woods
16. Moffatt
15. C. Evans
7. Chester
8. Eckersley
3. Barnes
2. Lee
14. Derbyshire
9. Bryan
11. Norwood
12. McCormack
1. Zieler
4. Brandy (3)
5. Cathcart
6. Hewson (2)
10. Drinkwater (15)

7 of them still have careers playing league football in various countries, off the top of my head, pretty good effort that.

Think they implemented this on Football Manager, wondered what it was all about.

Good idea.
