That'll be 16-17, when none of the English sides made it further than the playoffs. Arsenal, Spurs and Leicester out in the groups, Man City in the playoffs, and Chelsea not allowed to defend their title. Chelsea have always been the last English side standing, and have never failed to reach the QFs in years they've been in the competition. They weren't great yesterday but I think that Montpellier performance would have seen off a lot of good teams. Not every wi
Crazy depth. Half-time in U16 PL Cup Final Arsenal 1 (Ogungbo) Chelsea 4 (Bate, Haigh, Musiala, Peart-Harris (pen)
Chelsea won 5-2, Azeez scored a worldy and Soonsup-Bell came off the bench to score late on. Wasn't a classic performance but Chelsea just had too much, Musiala probably the best player on the pitch for me.
I wonder how many scouts were present from the Bundesliga, Serie A, etc for this game? I bet there was quite a few.
Not as many as you'd think, though there was a big crowd for an U16 game. Fwiw, though it was an U16 final, the U15s and below were: Arsenal: Patino, Monlouis, Sweet, Vigar, Mitchell, Awe, Hutchinson, Edwards Chelsea: Chibueze, Iling, Adegoke, Vale, Soonsup-Bell

Chelsea beat Reading 2-1 in the Floodlit Cup Semi Finals tonight, so they'll play Palace or Swansea in the South Final. Sam Iling and Harvey Vale scored.
Wigan absolutely smashed Sunderland 5-0 in the Northern Floodlit Cup Final so they play Palace for the national title now. Wigan are also U18 Cat 3 Champions and obviously have two England U17 internationals. Think it's clear they're the best Cat 3 academy atm.
Sunderland lost Luca Stephenson to Liverpool last year but their current u14s Luke Hewitson, James McConnell & Harrison Jones have all been on trial at Liverpool. Sunderland u14s are Albert Phelan North Champs. Manchester United are interested Sunderland u15 goalkeeper Adam Richardson.
Some interesting quotes from head of Blackburn's Academy on their situation. Audits happening again next season.
As well as the Sunderland links above we still waiting on confirmation of the futures of England youth internationals & club u16s Boyce-Clarke, Bellingham, H.Eliott and Barry who have all been linked with moves away. Cat 2 clubs also have a few links with moves away from u16s.

Hi guys. Palace won the Super Floodlit Cup Final on Friday night, beating an excellent Wigan side 3-2 with a stoppage time winner. I wrote this on the game/on that Palace U15 side. Hope A) it's OK to share and B) this is an appropriate place to share it. All thoughts on the piece and the players most welcome. Cheers. https://fypfanzine.uk/analysis/7095...with-floodlit-cup-victory-over-wigan-athletic @Garibaldi - tiny thing but it's John-Kymani Gordon, his first name is double-barrelled rather than his surname
Latest Sunderland player who could leave is u15 England youth left-Back, Logan Pye. Talk of 500k plus add-ons. Manchester United.
