u18s v Leeds / 1130 Sat Aug 16th / City+/ u18 PL.

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Less than an hour away before the season starts for our u18s...

Just waiting for team news.

Line up is on the Academy Instagram page, looks like the club is moving away from Twitter and towards Instagram now

Bloody hell, I can work twitter just fine but don’t really get how instagram works

 

[oldius]

Utterly dominant so far. Super pressing.

City + TV coverage appalling as usual - main camera on top of a set of decorator's steps.
Commentator surprised by Jota silence, I thought it was VE tribute before he remembered to tell us what is was for after it had happened. When will the wake end?

 

[Cobra]

Teddie Lamb looks like a unit, only just 16 too

I'm very happy with the coverage. The chance to see so many academy games is something to celebrate. No issue with the silence either.

Whats the score as for some reason they havn`t put anything up on the match day screening and I`m a late comer to the game ?

Takes all sorts, I'm not happy with either. The never ending tributes to a footballer who after all killed himself and his brother by speeding - a tragedy but nobody else responsible - and also, cheap camerawork aside, that the app isn't available for TV any more.

I've got a lead from my laptop - old school!
I don't know the circumstances of his death but consider it a tragedy for his family. I'm happy to support a minutes silence on the first day of the new season.

 

[oldius]

3-0 for those unable to watch.

 

[oldius]

4-0 Midwood after excellent play by Lamb, who looks a handful.

 

[oldius]

5-0 pen Dunbar-Mcdonald

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Dunbar McDonald has had a good match. He's been a handful and ended up with a couple of goals and assists.

Tricky and direct.

 

[imrebanana]

Great first result. Super proud of our Jake making his debut.

Tried to do a bit too much at times, IMO, and missed the simple ball, but it's all steps on the journey. I thought Headley was excellent and Drake too. Lamb looks an absolute handful but is a big lad for his age, and he had good support from Midwood.

Great first result. Super proud of our Jake making his debut.

Amazing. He's playing for one of the best teams in the world!
Congratulations to him.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

You should be geat run at the end!
Young Samba looks a prospect to me powerful but with silky skills. Could mention many of them really, Miles and Headley I liked smooth in the build up but there are no bad ones!
