    If Dante Cassanova wasn't quite enough of a name, his initials are DJ! <laugh>
    Sounds like someone who works on the radio playing all your favourite romantic hits.

    John, Markanday and Devine on the scoresheet, again.
    No surprises there and it's good to see them doing well.
    Odd that Paskotsi's not starting, though.

    Our under 17s are currently smashing Arsenal 9-0 (yes, Nine - Nil) in the Premier League Cup.

    Well at least some players at our club know what it means to turn up for a NLD…

    Finished 9-0.

    Sam Amo-Ameyaw scored 4 of them. And yep, before anyone asks, Donley was also one of the scorers.

    2-0 after 2 minutes with the opener coming in the first 30 seconds.
    And you thought our first team started the game badly! <laugh>
    Hopefully these kids will continue to progress and maintain this quality at higher levels.

    3-0 down, get back to 3-3 and lose 4-3. <doh>
    Not sure who was playing on the left wing or holding midfield, going by the lineup.

    3 or 4 years time, I expect a front three of Donley, Scarlett and Parrott. Not sure how we can actually play with three central strikers stylistically but **** it… pure goal vibes, bro, pure goal vibes.

    A list of players they've said to look out for
    2021: Jamie Donley
    2020: Alfie Devine
    2019: Dermi Lusala
    2018: Harvey White
    2017: Oliver Skipp
    2016: Tashan Oakley-Boothe
    2015: Marcus Edwards
    2014: Cameron Carter Vickers

    Would it be churlish to mention how, Lusala aside, every single one our players they've tipped have been ones we've known about long before the Grauniad came along and said they could be worldbeaters?

    Tobi Omole has reportedly been promoted to the first team

    ...although as it is Football BSider reporting this, it's likely he's training with the first team to fill out the numbers

    Interesting article on the BBC about overage players being signed purely to play for academies:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58820061

    Might be a role for someone not suited for coaching, but with decent fitness.
    Maybe a player who isn't a great communicator but can lead by example.

    Are they losing 3-2 or 4-3?
