Whereas if we had got someone else in rather than him they would have done.....????

I have no problem with Kenyon at all, he is doing the job he is paid to do! And doing it very well as far as i can see........

I wish i could watch EVERY youth team game! But unfortunately they only show the FA Youth Cup games on CTV! The last one was excellant though....

From the way he is talking he will go to whoever offers him the biggest pay day! Now this is one player that would be a sensational signing for us and me a massive deal. The guy is class and exactly what we need.

Would be a leathal force against most defences let alone Huddersfield. Although it is a bit of overkill playing against them, i think it will only be used if he wants to experiment in preparation for the big cup games....

Completely agree, in these cup games Stoch is our key man. Although in general the youth games (including the cup games) have been dominated by the creative spark of Kakuta. The pair of them together has been leathal, when the opposition trys to double mark one the other takes over the influence - the last cup game was prime example, Kakuta wiped the floor with them first half, second half was all Stoch.

Would be good to see. We havn't made it this far for a very very long time, and to get the semi's would be a huge deal too. But i honestly think we have the players who can win this! Our attacking options are just top class and we can always get goals.

Daniel Alves has revealed that he wishes to leave Sevilla as soon as possible. The Brazilian international was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea last summer; however a switch failed to materialise. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also thought to be keen on the attacking full-back, while Alves' former manager Juande Ramos - now in charge of Tottenham - has been linked with a swoop. And the 24-year-old, who joined Sevilla in 2003 from Bahia, has explained that he is looking to move in order to further his career. "I want to leave Sevilla by the nearest exit," he said in the Daily Star. "I believe I deserve it. I don't want to leave the club, to which I owe everything, on a bad note. "I want to play for one of those clubs that can influence your career and your life, where you have to earn the interest of the manager and have a good income. "I want to improve as a professional and as a person." Source: Sky Sports

The following 2 games are huge which does mean that there is every chance that a basic second string team will go out for this game. But there is also the issue of trying a few things out (formation, personel) in preparation for the 2 big games......

Now that would certainly be very interesting to see, i could see it working very well actually.

Who???

I think he may start with Didier and Anelka just to see how they can work together, would certainly be interesting. Although i think Sheva is fit too so maybe he will get a start...

Yup, KO'd by Sunderland. lol... It is a very interesting one for us i think, we have a great team and a fantastic chance to win it this year..

With Joe Cole and Kalou both playing very well and established players we could afford to go an get someone younger who we can play semi-regular and allow them to become world class with us.

I know, i can't think of any either, but i am sure there are some around somewhere.....check behind the back of the sofa

Dates not been confirmed yet, but the fixtures are: Carlisle Utd v Aston Villa (Being played tonight) Port Vale v Chelsea Plymouth v Manchester City Charlton/Swindon v Sunderland Man City for me will be the team to beat....

Yup can't argue with any of that really David! Although as FB said i think SWP just isn't good enough for us as a winger and i would like to see someone better come in, to have Cole, Kalou, Sinclair + a new winger would be a nice blend providing the new player is top class!!!

Yup Stoch almost always plays on the right wing now, although came on and played down the middle on Monday and was devestating. Well the youth team now is finally getting to the right level, it took time to build it up right starting from basically nothing. We have an exceptionally strong group of youngsters now and that is reflected in the results, especially in the cup - in the league we tend to play the younger players as the older ones are with the reserves so results are not as consistant. The reserves is always difficult with players going out on loan ect.. so any level on consistancy is impossible, it is all about the development of the players. If you look at our young players right now we have a very very good crop comming through, the likes of Stoch, Kakuta, Tejera in particular are right out of the top drawer and destined for very big things. Tejera played DM in the last round of the FA Youth Cup and was a success, his passing ability much in the same way as Mikel enabled the team to build good attacks. Although pesoanlly i feel he is wasted there as his attacking ability is quality, but it is all about him learning so it is good for him. I agree none of them seemed to play the holding role on Monday but i also felt that led to a bit of confusion among them.

Our young blues will be playing Port Vale in the FA Youth Cup quarter final after Port Vale knocked out Spurs! The youth team put on a very impresssive and dominating display in the last round and hopefully they can take that on to this game, although playing away from home this time we should have enough quality to be able to progress. I would expect the team to be very similar to the last round: ............................Taylor.............................. Nana........Van Aanholt......Bruma.............Gordon ............................Tejera............................... ..................Woods...........Mellis...................... Stoch....................Nielson.....................Kakuta This years FA youth cup is a glorious chance for us to win the competition after a lot of big names have already fallen, so far the other teams competing in the quarters are: Port Vale Carlisle Aston Villa Plymouth Sunderland

I agree, but Joe Cole is top top class. And Kalou is on his way to being top class too. He is the only one who will run at players with pace and try to beat them, which is what we need in our wingers.

Edward Norten.... Class film At the end of the day people just fear what they don't understand or perceive as "different" to themselves. Which is why there is so much hate and prejudice in the world....

Can't say i know anything about him to be honest.....

Outs: Paulo Ferreira Tal Ben Haim Steve Sidwell Claudio Pizarro Ins: Daniel Alves Luka Modric/Van Der Vaart Benzema/Huntelaar I also think we need a new exciting winger, although i am not sure who would make way or who would come in

The good thing about this for us is that unlike Man Utd or Arsenal we don't have any debts to service so all of the revenue we make goes back into the club. And considering we didn't shell out too much on players in 2006/2007 that means that we made a nice little profit, also because it doesn't include player sales that figure is even more halthty especially considering the sale of Robben.

Certainly the Arse are in a fantastic position, but do they have the nerve to hold onto it? Still find it hard to believe we are even challenging after the season we have had but i am still optomistic now.
