Formats changed this year. It's much better though, we play all the Northern teams in our group twice and the Southern teams once in the season.


Play-off v Blackburn for the right to face Arsenal or Chelsea for the title

Was because of a different amount of teams in the north and the south wasn't it? Seems to have worked fairly well anyway.

Ridiculous save at the end there.

The North section is now sorted, Blackburn will play Manchester United for right to play Chelsea or Arsenal in Reserve League Final.

feck sake, missus got tea ready with 5 mins left so missed this wonder save
Think Schmeichel vs Rapid Vienna, except with the ball hitting the bar.

Edit - And not quite as low.

Yeah the Schmeichel save is a decent comparison, wasn't quite as low as that and he scooped it onto the crossbar, but class still.

That post is so gay I wouldn't be surprised if your missus' name is Frank.

Boring game of football, but Tunnicliffe continues to prove that he's more than just athleticism and attitude.

A real man would slap that bitch for opening her big, fat yapper while the game is on, then have her restart the whole process as tea's no good having sat out for 5 mins. Unless she has previous, in which case you should kick her in the cnut with a knife shoe. Hardly rocket science.
It was a joke

Pretty sure tea is not referring to the beverage, Elliot.

Tunnicliffe was superb when he came on, great on and off the ball.

Tracy's gone. The Norwegian-born keeper Sean McDermott is the only other green gunner at the moment I think.
Philip Roberts, Ben Glasgow and Callum Webb all play underage for Ireland although I don't think any of them were born in Ireland.
