I forgot I'm plasticing Blackpool this season *checks fotmob* oh no we lost :(

did Blackpool really have only 4 people in the bench? If so why wasn't Cubero named in the squad if they're so short on players?

Like a young Berbatov is what I'm hearing, but with a bit more industry. Always looking around for the lay off when he gets the ball; linked up well with Tomlin.

e: the boro freekick routine. kike really should have buried it.

sorry that all clubs don't have the resources to pump millions into getting their academy at a high enough standard to attract and then successfully produce talent and then not have then all immediately poached anyway?

e: an article on what happened to the Millwall youth academy because there was a time not too long ago when we WERE regularly churnin g out first-team players from it: http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/30-Clubs/4713-academic-excellence

A few seasons back Boro had an all-academy 11 playing at one point during a match. Away to Fulham or West Ham I think.

They got relegated the same season.

John Bostock’s sale to Tottenham Hotspur was worth just £700,000
David Amoo to Liverpool, Sam Walker to Chelsea and Tom Kilby to Portsmouth for combined fees of £400,000.

Two League One players, one at Antwerp and someone who gave up football to be on The Only Way Is Essex. Palace did well to get over a million for them, and kinda deflects the point of the article.

Its also now out of date because of the horrific EPPP:

Elite Player Performance Plan posted:

The new rules mean that a category-A academy can go to any other training ground to watch a player (giving 48 hours notice) and effectively buy the player for a fixed fee starting from £3,000.

They looked pretty good for like 5 minutes right before Olsson got sent off, but yeah it wasn't exactly a performance that inspires confidence.
