The reasoning behind admitting B teams is flawed.  The FA have fundamentally mis-diagnosed the factors that contributed to the England team's failure over 40 years.  

They don't believe that the English game is technically deficient or that our players are tactically, intellectually or emotionally inferior to their European counterparts.

The FA's blueprint for international success isn't to rectify these deficiencies, to better-educate players or to take control of the academy system, or to deflate the wage bubble which contributes to young players being imprisoned by greedy agents and hangers-on within Premiership academies.

They think the only reason we're not world beaters, is because the aforementioned indentured players (not, as we've already established, being as good as the French, Ivorian, Belgian, Portuguese or Spanish youngsters their clubs have purchased) are not getting enough playing time for their clubs.  If only the inferior bench-warming English kids could play five games a season in the EFL Trophy at Grimsby or Stevenage Borough or Accrington Stanley on a Tuesday night, all of a sudden we're going to achieve Greg Dyke's goal of winning the 2022 World Cup.

Quoted from Youngy
Alot of preachy posts on here. Whether you agree with the Trophy concept or not, don't shoot each other down for having a difference in opinion. We are all town.


It's all preachy until we hit an advanced stage of the cup then suddenly they all attend two beers in hand top off jumping up and down with their man boobs jiggling hoping for a bit of glory to shout about when we beat some Premier League kids for a trophy.

I will be picketing outside each ground. I will be dressed as a policeman. Anybody who supports the boycott please feel free to slap me on the back.

I have a sneaky feeling that it will be kids go free. £10 entry and anything else our non-chairman can think of to entice the weak willed. I can honestly say I wouldn't go if it was free. And Inthink they'll be plenty of those as well. Youngs employees etc.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I wonder why JF didn't vote no, surely he knew it would devalue the product.

Well I certainly won't be going on Tuesday and I won't be going to the home games either.

I've missed a few home games when I have been in hospital but the home games will be the first time I have missed a home game by choice for as long as I can remember, probably going back to the 1980's.

Do we know if Terry is running a bus on Tuesday?
