The U23's (with some U18's) played at Woking today. Looks like: O'Connor / Ferry / Hesketh / Sims etc played in that one.

You are forgiven!

🙌🏻

You literally asked the question above If we are playing, it'll be a mixed bunch of whoever isn't on international duty.

Apparently playing Fulham at Craven Cottage.

As good as ever, Ben. Very happy you guys are around next season. Looking forward to the next episode, which I gather features a very interesting interview........

Good article about it in The Athletic. Neither Moyes or Bilic expected it to happen.. West Ham need to sell-to-buy. They basically expected to lose Rice (or others) but nothing transpired, so they had to sell him instead to fund defensive reinforcements.

Good to get it confirmed - although I figure the retained lists you post are the main point of reference. Keep up the top work in this thread, mate.

Signs definitely Point to a loan deal...

Wonderful footballer. Questionable decision making outside of football.

Thinks he's too clever for his own good.

Random Express link -- Ntcham for £5m (?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Southampton have meanwhile not given up on the chase for Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham. Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has been eyeing the French midfielder as a possible replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has joined Tottenham, and Mario Lemina, who has left for Fulham. Both Porto and and Lyon are also watching the 24-year-old, but neither have yet made a firm bid. Saints, who are also looking at Celtic’s Norwegian defender Kristoffer Ajer, still want Ntcham if they can get him - with the Scottish champions looking for around £5m for the former Manchester City midfielder. Hasenhuttl had been hoping to bring Schalke’s Weston McKennie to the Premier League, but he joined Juventus on loan this week, so his attention has switched back to Ntcham. Since signing from City, where he never made a senior appearance, in 2017, Ntcham has scored 23 goals in 123 appearances in all competitions for Celtic. He has played in all of the Hoops' four Scottish Premiership matches this season, starting both of the last two.

Did the OS used to report on U16 matches? I'm sure they used to do it -- But that's going back a few years, though.

It's a thing of beauty. Doesn't take me 2 days to embed a twitter link

The last of the 2014/15 academy scholars. Hull a bit of a basket-case of a club, but he will do well in league 1 & with a bit of luck, could probably play in the championship.
