All those who remember the Moores, they won't forget what they've seen.  Destruction of men in their prime.

Who did the destruction though?


Both looked like they were going to make it.

Well I thought it was funny.

In the Premier League, the average age of the academy youngster who failed to make it was 22. In Aston Villa he was 19.

In inininininin Villa he was nineteen.

N-n-n-n-nineteen

It was.

Yeh, you are going to have to explain that one to me.

Woosh as the kids say

[Risso]

Surely you remember Paul Hardcastle, CL? Apologies if you're like 23 or something.

Just for clarity.
Is that the average age to 'not make' through to our first team ?

Sigh. People were mentioning songs that had '19' in them, so in the interests of trying to be vaguely amusing, I changed the lyrics of Paul Hardcastle's '19', a number one in the UK in the 1980s. It's not that funny when you have to explain them.

I thought Paul Hardcastle was a reference to an old player!

[kippaxvilla2]

He was.  He failed at 19 though and then went onto make a song about Vietnam.

Guess that means Kourtney Hause needs to start dreaming up some rhymes for his rap about the Iraq war ...

I forgot this, I recently managed to convince a friend of mine that Kadan Young is Ashley Young's son. She still thinks it is true.
