Had a couple of quid treble on Fulham, Spurs and Leicester today. Only won £15 but better than a boot in the gonads. Good game too that last one

I did the same

All that build up about Cech and he's given them 2 shockers already.

 

Maybe Jose knows what he's doing?

 5 games into the season, Arsenal have conceded 3 league goals and Chelsea have shipped in 12..

Took Clayton all of 2 mins to score for U21's tonight. Wheater also playing

 

Neither of whom are "Under 21". I'll never understand why they bother calling it that.

& the second goal was scored by Jamie Thomas, a tap in from a rebound after the keeper made a mess of a Clayton long distance strike

Because it is under 21 with up to 3(?) overage players - obviously generally those returning from injury.

 

I don't know, but I suspect it originates from the Olympic tournament, which is under 23 with up to 3 overage players. This was done once the games weren't limited to amateurs, so that it could be seen as less significant than World Cups. Of course this doesn't affect GB as, apart from the England/Wales squad at the home Olympics, GB does not compete as part of the special arrangement whereby FIFA allow England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to field separate teams (for now).

I understand all that, but it still seems daft.

But it would be dafter to have a "development league"  which gave those returning from injury no scope for playing competitive matches.

Maybe it should just be called the Stiffs League.

Agreed.

How about calling it The Central League and every club puts their reserve team in.

 

Promotion, relegation and 4 leagues

 

JSL

 

How about just having reserves play against other reserves like when life made sense?

Isn't Clayton "under 21"?
