Well done Villa Youths, it is great to see a Villa team play so well and win a trophy Might only be a 7 a side trophy but i bet Newcastle and West Ham wanted it just as much as Villa .It is always nice to get one over the porno pair and Brady

I thought Sarkic looked a bit of a wimp when he was injured, poor guy dislocated his shoulder

I know they're only kids (and I guess I'm getting old) but fuck me, they look young!!  Well done you Villa boys (literally!!).  Great start to a new era.

Saw him at the Arsenal U-21 game and have to say thought he looked very impressive.

Grealish has scored for the England U21.  It's 1-1 after some shocking defending let Guinea take a very early lead.

Got a 2nd just before half time 4-1 now, he's looked very good (as has Redmond).

Couple of losses to Everton and Yeovil Town for the Women's team.
The Everton game featured their players being fairly unpleasant to the Villa fans on the sidelines - questioning the reasons men were watching women play football. Idiots.
Could see a change in goalie in the next few matches as there were some poor mistakes at Yeovil - two nil up, lost four two.

To be honest the one area of the very few bits of women football that I have seen, the goalkeeping is of a very very poor standard in comparison to the strides the outfield players have made.

Yeah, my daughter (she's nearly 7) got very upset about 18 months ago that we only watch sport with men in so we've taken to putting the womens football, rugby and cricket on for her.  As Peter says the big difference between the mens and womens game in Football is the quality of the goalkeepers (in cricket it's the fast bowling but in rugby there's no single aspect that drags it down, just less power really).  Any shot hit with decent power that isn't straight at the keeper tends to cause problems.
