We are indeed

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/barclays-u21-premier-league-tables.html?paramYouthStage=NATIONAL

Any idea how many sides get promoted?

I'm sure I saw that Division One has a TV deal. Be nice to be able to watch the Under 21's on TV from time to time.

Through that link there is a format explanation. It says the top 2 will be promoted so it seems we have a good chance.

Two teams Relegated / two promoted each season.
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

More rumours that Adil Nabi might be on his way to Villa now. It's not quite the same as losing a promising 15-17 year old as Nabi is now 20 but it would be frustrating to lose yet another youngster to a bigger side with more money. This is the third of fourth youngster rumoured to be on the way out in less than 12 months.

Odd one about this is that he hasn't got a look in this season despite our infamous troubles finding the net! Made the bench but never looked in danger of breaking through any time soon.

Would he really get a look in at Villa with Benteke, Weimann and Agbonlahor (plus Kozak?) all competing for a starting spot? Unless he feels his chances are even more limited under Pulis than before, other than money I can't see a reason for going.

It was only this season he came back from his cruciate injury so would have been feeling his way back in for a while this season. Now he seems to be ready to kick on. I'm hoping the fact his brother is progressing well also might be a factor in making him stay. There is another younger brother...not sure if he's progressing well also or may have been let go at some stage ?

Aren't we 3rd?


My apologies.  I saw a table the other day that show we were both near the bottom.  Must have been last seasons final table or out of date.   Can't find it now.

Probably reading too much into these things but the lack of Blanco and Gamboa hopefully means they are being considered for tomorrow. Doesn't guarantee they will make the 18 but you'd think if TP wanted rid he'd allow them more game time? Unless of course it's just to keep their morale up by making them feel included...

I think I've confused myself :(

I may be wrong but I'm not sure any of the senior players have had games for the U21's in league games. All the games I can remember that featured senior players were all friendlies.

What are they called these days and where do they play?

Is it still open entry to season tickets or are all games now behind closed doors?

Many U21 league games are played at the Ricoh in Coventry this season but they have to play a set number at The Hawthorns which is usually the ones to get a decentish crowd (Villa/ Woves etc). I think some are behind closed doors as well though at the Training Ground.

Free for season ticket holders, £5 for others unless behind closed doors

Does anybody know if Nabi has signed a new contract yet, or whether he is still attracting interest from the Vile?
All seems to have gone a bit quiet.

Sorry if this has been covered, but finding it very time consuming keeping pace with the 'Wild Speculation and Blind Panic Fish Wife' thread.

It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.
