Reserves and Academy 2025-26

[Mister E]

Losing to Crystal Palace seems like ideal training to win a first team place. Well done, lads.

sooo fucking annoying! 2-0.

It is worth noting that our team was significantly younger than theirs (and is one of the youngest squads in the league) so we are sometimes going to be bullied a little.

The U18s won 6-2 away at Arsenal with goals from Jack McGrath, Alfie Lynskey (2), Markie Meade, Vinnie Hayward, and a first-half own goal.

Just popped it on in background whilst working. Is this off a VHS tape?

For the benefit of our younger viewars, VHS doesn't stand for Venezuela High Scorers.

For the benefit of everyone - do you know you get Teletext off on old VHS tape. 

I run a meetup group talking on digital / Tech / Deisgn  issue - and that was easily my favourite talk of all time. 

[Somniloquism]

Lost 3-0. What do they expect when they choose the majority of the team from losers Citeh and play the best attacking midfielder at right back.

[dcdavecollett]

They've played Burrowes as a right-back before.

I know. Just peed off that he is removed from his better position to allow all the citeh kids to play. (cue someone telling me we now play Burrowes at RB ourselves now Rowe is out on loan).

[Toronto Villa]

Rory Wilson with the first goal in the kids game vs Skënderbeu in the UYL. Arsenal are playing a 15 year old on the CL. Given our lack of goals I wouldn’t mind seeing the likes of Wilson playing in our first team.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Villa 4 up against Skenderbeu in the second leg. Believe we are playing a Dutch team in the next round (maybe AZ?).

[cdbearsfan]

Won six-nil. Wilson hat-trick, one for Carroll and two for Jack McGrath. Through to play AZ Alkmaar in round three. That'll probably be a lot tougher, they won it in 2023.
