The only way that youth development in England will improve is if clubs invest heavily on scouting the best players, improve the way we train these players and then have managers in charge who have the job security and the confidence to play thses players regardless of results in the early stages.

Pontins vs. Carlisle @ Hyde. Lost 1-4. Neumayr freekick from wide out on United left, tight angle, not sure what their keeper was thinking. 1-0. Equalised before halftime. Carlisle got 3 more in the second period. Their centre forward, Murray, got the first 3. They outplayed us and thoroughly deserved the victory.
United:- T. Lee; Bardsley (capt), Pique, N'Galula, Picken; Neumayr, Hogg, Fox, Martin; Cooper, Marsh Subs:- Heath (for Marsh), Eagles (for N'Galula), Rossi (for Martin) Subs not used:- Heaton, R. Jones |

Reserves Win Pontins Cup
http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s23....htm?fromrss=1 Manchester United Res 3 Saha 38 Fox 74 D. Jones 83 Sheffield Wednesday Res 1 Spurr 31 Manchester United's Reserves continued their excellent season with a comprehensive 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday's second-string to secure the Pontins League Cup. This accolade caps off United's double League success, an achievement deemed as 'absolutely fantastic' by impressed senior boss Sir Alex Ferguson. United included Spaniard Ricardo in-between the sticks, Republic of Ireland international Liam Miller in midfield to support a strike-force worth £15 million, David Bellion and Louis Saha. Despite suffering an early set-back, United's second-half display proved too much for Wednesday. Owls midfielder Lewis McMahon was brought down on the edge of the box on the half-hour mark and the subsequent free-kick allowed Spurr to head home past Ricardo. Winger Richard Evans' delightful set-piece was well converted by youngster Spurr. United hit back in minutes as David Fox's surging run released Louis Saha to tap home into an empty net. After the break, United stepped up the tempo and twice hit the post through David Bellion and Ben Collett. Evans proved tireless down the left-wing, teeing up recent striking acquisition Corr, who narrowly headed wide. Wednesday took a major blow on the 74th minute as the Red Devils took the lead. Fox's header proved too much of a challenge for goalkeeper David Lucas. David Jones delivered the final nail in the coffin by drilling home 7 minutes from time. Final Score: Manchester United Res 3 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday Att: 2,953 Manchester United: Ricardo; Ngalula, Bardsley, McShane, Lawrence; Poole (D.Jones 75), Fox, Miller, Collett (Calliste 72); Saha, Bellion. Substitutes Not Used: Neumayr, Lee, R.Jones. Sheffield Wednesday: Lucas; Broadbent, McArdle, Spurr, Greenwood; Reet, McMahon, Needham (Ellis 87), McAllister (Thorpe 68), Evans; Corr. Substitutes Not Used: Brackenridge, Kirby, Fores-Chambers. |

The Wednesday kids ran themselves into the ground and did really well, mom was Fox ----- Bellion, Ngalula, Lawrence and Bardsley all did well.The only disapointment to me was Miller who while quite good on the ball got caught in possession on a number of occasions by the hard working Wednesday players. Ricardo was as usual very confident in goal and he could teach both Howard and Carrol a bit about distribution. Jones came on for last 15 minutes and again looked class with a great goal. |

A gem of a post in the newbie forum - very revealing about the way Dong is being handled in Antwerp. Posted, appropriately enough by "antwerp1880":
Dong on tour What a pity I can't reply on one of the threads in the 'big forum'. According to what I have read about Dong Fanghzou at Antwerp and about Dong going on tour to Asia together with the first Manchester team, Dong is just a commercial product to sell more Manchester-shirts in China. I don't agree. I know he never will be a player in the first team, that's obvious. But if this guy should have been properly coached and guided, he could have been a valuable player for a team in the second division, not more, not less. But he was dropped in Antwerp, didn't speak a word of English, Dutch or French. And according to my information, it is still so. There have been attempts to integrate him, together with all the other 30.000 different nationalities at Antwerp FC, but it still remains a mess. Lucky for Dong, the is a China Town in Antwerp city, so he can communicate a little bit with other Chinese citizens but not with the other players, staff and fans. Just a small example of his debut at Antwerp ; he entered his first game as a substitute and came on the grounds with the wrong shirt (only after 2 minutes, it was seen by the ref and the Antwerp-staff - I have to admit it says a lot about Belgian football... but Dong couldn.t even read it's own name). A few weeks ago, he was substituted and while leaving the football-grounds, he was saluting the opposite-fans, thinking they were his fans, because he believed they were cheering, not understanding that they were shouting some bad things... I only want to say, that Dong has some capacities but it's a big mistake to get those guys from all over the world to Europe without setting up an integration programm. I think Manchester should invest in that, not Antwerp, because we don't have the money to do so. Then you don't have to say afterwards, ooh it's only a commercial product... He still remains a living person, not a ''it' R Antwerp FC, nr 1 in Belgium since 1880 - 125 years of glory ~~~~~~~~~[End quote] This Antwerp project isn't going too well is it? The best achievement so far I would say is that it gave John O'Shea an early first team run before his sparkling 2002-03 season (a distant memory nowadays). If Gomez, Mamam and Dong can't hack it for a team in the Belgian 2nd division, they're not going to be anywhere near ***. Wonder when Rincon is due to arrive from Sao Paulo, and will he be loaned out first? |

i have no idea where you guys got this central defender or RB/midfield stuff about Rincon from. I've been googling Rincon (and his real name) on and off and all i've ever got were vague news reports describing him alternately as a defender and/or midfielder.
Any links for your info? |

cheers keilyn27. Most brazilian full-backs tend to be particularly adept at overlapping/attacking, so it's nice to fantasise Rincon as a Cafu/Robert Carlos at best, or Silvinho at worst :P
now to figure out which flank he's on.... |

As for the latest news. Antwerp today qualified for the second division play-offs, mainly by other teams losing. On the positive side, Arther Gomez scored his fourth goal in four games - which is promising. He used to lack confidence so maybe he is finding it. Dong has missed last four games with an ankle injury but I believe he will tour China with a United squad in the summer. Souleymane Mamam has not featured recently and seems not to figure in coach Van Acker's plans. I will send news of play-offs as they go .... On the "overall Antwerp front", it's a disaster. Started well with Higginbotham, Wallwork, Chadwick and O'Shea making an impact. Since then nothing. The kids who have come over have either been poor, arrogant, ignored or uninterested. It's going nowhere. It's not been helped with Antwerp having about five coaches since Van Acker left. He was in charge from 1998 - 2002 approx and was there for the start of the arrangement. He seemed to have a good rapport with the United staff. Since then nothing. Van Acker has now returned after spell in Austria. We will see ...... |
