    Ah well, nevermind. Been a cracking season from these lads, some talented lads in our ranks and the rebuild of the Academy sides looks positive after the sales under the previous regime.

    The future's bright. The future's Red and White.

    Unlucky lads, they were more clinical and score line probably not a fair reflection. Great season that can only do us well for the future, hopefully murty gets a bonus

    No shame in losing to this spurs side, they’ve come on so much in such a short space of time I think a fair few of these lads will carve out careers in the football league

    The lads played really well and were seriously unlucky at times in front of goal. They all can hold their heads up high. I hope they all go on to have great careers

    enjoyed that game mind, just young lads playing football with none of the full on cheating we see these days from the 'professionals'.

    anyone looking at the final score will think they were battered but i reckon they showed enough to have taken the game if luck had been on their side...great improvement in the squad and can certainly hold their heads up.

    Hard up against a side that will have multiple players out on loan at decent standards next season.

    Top season by the young lads and a bright future for a lot of them.

    A good pre season by some of them and I can see some of them making the first team squad, if not they will get good loans.

    Good luck to the lads leaving, show the desire and ability they have this season and they'll have good careers.

    I'm disappointed for them, not with them ...

    ... it's been a long hard season and they played better football than Spurs.

    If they'd won no one could've complained.

    Well done lads :emoticon-0148-yes:

    As has been said Spurs more clinical where it matters.
    Great effort by these lads and the late goal amplified the fact they never give up and play to the last minute.
    Well done to all involved.

    Worth going down to Eppleton to watch these lads next season for those local to the area. Not sure if it's free with your season ticket for next season but it was this year. Parking can be a bit of a pain in the arse but get there early ish and it's OK. Decent bait from the lasses in the cafe as well.

    Well done to the lads, they were up against a very good side, half of which have played first team football this season, and still gave them a game. <applause><applause><applause>

    A great day out despite the result.
    Excellent support as usual, we had so many chances, hit the woodwork twice and caused them to panic at the back loads of times. Tommy Watson had a good game, the number of times he absolutely skinned that right back. We just lacked a clinical finisher.
    Tottenham are a good side with a lot of talent and we matched them for most of that game.

    Great to hear the youth teams are more than a match for the premier league youth teams
