And about that new thread for new season, I don't think it's necessary with this new forum software. But at the same time why not, as long as this thread won't disappear like the one of 02-03 season did... |

The tournament starts tomorrow for the U-15 squad. I have checked the official website at www.manchesterunitedpremiercup.com and it does not seem to be up to date. The draw should have been made Sunday night for the group stages. Last year when it was held in Oregon, USA the website was updated immediatley. Even after games were played the website showed the score within 30 minutes. |

watched highlights of the premier cup last night and febian brandy was brilliant!
even steve bower mentioned his name when saying the high lights are on. now i can see why there is such expectation from him. we will really have to look out for this kid, providing he keeps his feet firmly on the ground and keep progressing the way he is. |

when are they born?
When I was making the list of playersa on the 1st and 2nd year in the Academy I started wandering about what Les Kershaw said in the MU Premier cup program.
It is a tournement for those under 15 from 1st of January, not september like in England. He said that most MU players are therefore born in september october and november instead of the other teams in Europe January/Feb/March. When we look at the birthdays for the seniors they are born in all months. No month stronger than another. But in the youth teams it is differant: 1st years: Lee Crockett 04/10/1987 Peterborough goalie Aaron Burns 08/11/1987 Manchestser striker Frazier Campbell 13/9/1987 Huddersfield forward Jonathan Evans 3/1/1988 Belfast defender Sean Evans 25/9/1987 Ludlow midfielder Darron Gibson 25/10/1987 Londonderry midfielder Michael Lea 4/11/1987 Leigh defender David Gray 4/5/1988 Edinburgh forward Kieran Lee 22/6/1988 Stalybridge Midfielder Jamie Mullen 10/2/1988 Nottingham midfielder Daniel Rose 21/02/1988 Bristol midfielder Ryan Shawcross 4/10/1987 Chester defender This is of course because of when they sign these players the one who are born in the summer is almost a year younger and have matured alot less. So, should we sign players 2 a year to correct this? |

i'm sure a lot of us would be extremely grateful if those of you attending uniteds matches in the premier cup could keep us not so fortunate fuckers updated on results, scorers, stand out players and so on. i know these boys are only 15, but i still find 'em exciting. though - unlike arsene wenger - in a non sexual way.

Thats actually quite an achievement. Hundreds of teams put in for this competition from every corner of the globe. From this 20 teams make the finals including Barcelona, Estudientes, Corinthians, PSG and the like. Big names indeed. For the two Manchester clubs to win through to the final itself is remarkable.
I think I have it right that this competition has been won by South Americans for the last three years. So that's even more credit to the two English clubs and lends a bit of hope for the future of English football. But, C'mon you Reds!!! |

1-0 to city but we held our own well with a much physically stronger side with 3 or 4 outstanding performances
If there was a mom my vote would have gone to a defender Chester (i think that was his name) |

yes he did, it was hard for him because not only did they have some big defenders but once city scored they sat back hoping for a quick break....... what really impressed me is not only is he quick and skillful but he gets up well in the air and he is quite prepared to stick his foot in and battle from begining to end of game. Our team did play the better football and tried everything to get back into the match 2nd half , the goal they scored was a little fortunate for one thing the ball was outside the segment when they took the corner---------- a bit of a diappointment to me was i thought the city side a bit cynical (holding ball in corner segment in last couple of minutes, appealing for everything) unfortunate in such young teams |

I thought city just about edged it over the full 40 minutes. They were certainly physically the bigger team, United had 2 or 3 players with 'adult' physiques whereas city only had 1 or 2 who weren't looking fully grown.
I thought the city number 10 was perhaps the best player on the pitch but I was also impressed with our Fabian. He looks a lot like Sylvan Blake who will break into the reserve team properly this coming season. They have very similar characteristics and strengths but Brandy might be slightly quicker? Also thought Richard Eckersley looked every inch the footballer. What price Adam and Richard usurping the Nevilles in the first team line-up in 5 years time? The others who caught my eye were Daniel Drinkwater(?) in midfield and the right back who I cannot name unfortunately. No disgrace to lose this one, the United boys will be much richer for this experience and the whole tournament experience will have accelerated their growth as footballers no end. |

feck i think you might be on about derbyshire, the little lad who was playing in the middle to begin with?
we defenitly played the better football however their lads were defenitly superior to us physically and that is why i believe we were beaten. their number 10 sturidge, nephew of dean sturidge who plays for wolves, is a good player but i believe if brandy had had his service then brandy would have scored a few goals. however was good to see the lads play and they all did well. |

Derbyshire it was, thanks!!
I agree that Sturridge did get the better service and Brandy might have done more with it. Both sides quite well matched, not a lot between them over the whole match - thought they had better of first half while we were stronger in the second. they certainly edged us on chances created as we really never got anything clearcut. They got behind us a couple of times late on as we chased the equaliser. All in all enjoyable, I look forward to seeing one or two of these boys pushing into the Youth Cup squad over the next couple of seasons. |

legal trouble
TWO young Manchester United footballers appeared in court today charged with dangerous driving.
Mads Timm, 19, from Bowden in Cheshire, and Callum Flanagan, 18, of Ludgate Hill in Manchester, appeared before Trafford magistrates in Greater Manchester. The case follows a crash in January this year near to Manchester United's training ground in which player Phil Marsh was injured. Danish Striker Timm wore a white open-neck shirt in court while Flanagan wore a dark suit and tie. They both confirmed their names and addresses to the court. The case was adjourned until September 30 when the pair, who were granted bail, will attend a committal hearing at Trafford Magistrates Court. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probable outcome? |
