Surely Spurs won’t appoint Mourinho.

Since when do both clearly want out? I must have missed Torres asking to leave.
If after watching Torres this season you think he is truly committed to the club then you have the rosiest of rose-specs on.

Re: Rooney Wants Out.

It's not inconceivable that both Rooney and Torres could be Stamford Bridge-bound in January..... Rooney fee? £20m at the most - many factors driving his value down, United won't sell to City, and Rooney wants to stay in UK. Torres fee? £30m-35m - his form and injury record is so poor at the moment ...

Re: Chelsea V Newcastle

The last player who came through ANY academy in the premier league and set it alight is probably wayne rooney at everton, and before him michael owen at liverpool. Kakuta might be the only HALF decent player out of the lot you named, but all he really has is pace going for him. Manchester United mi...

Re: Comets - Under 17 Cup

The reason Comets A's forfeited to Comets B's is because most A players were cup tied with the 19's and B's anyways. There are only about another 6 players able to play for the B's due to these ties. If that's the case then I can see why it happened. You have to appreciate how dodgy it looks from a...

Comets - Under 17 Cup

The scores show that the U17A side for Comets lost on forfeit to the Comets U17B in the 2nd round of the Cup last weekend, handing Comets B's a quarter final matchup against Metrostars. By all rights, Comets B's should get an absolute reaming from Metro, at least 10 goals. But they won't will they? ...

Re: Best Junior Coach?

Best junior coach would have to be Camillo Lombardi. I know for a fact he has taken players from B sides and developed them into hard working players who then played A's at a higher level and now are playing 19's and reserves at a Super League club. In his first game coaching he recevied a 17-1 sma...

Seems that fences are a requirement for some clubs, but not for others.

I was under the impression that fences, ground stewards, AND official refs were all compulsory for Under 17 matches.

It is quite obvious you play for the coach in question. I don't think anyone can confidently say who the best junior coach is. The measure of such a title would be determined by how many players under his tutelage go on to represent senior teams. I know of some coaches who have been coaching junior...
