But it really is remarkable that with all the money poured into the Cat 1 academies, they don't dominate the competition. Perhaps at U18 level they just prefer to cherry pick from the lower clubs' players and then concentrate their resources on U21/U23.
It is, I agree, Mick.
Just gone through the results. Congrats 'C&P'. Great result.
I see Chelsea won 7-0 last night, but they are the Premier League rarities, looking at other results.
I do like the way they use the following phrase on the FA website :-
"AET, Blackpool FC won 4-2 on kicks from the penalty mark" :smile:
