Walsall were being offered at 4/5 to win and once i saw the team we put out it was near certain.
Very easy money.
It's a shame for the guys left that all the good ones go out on loan. It must be very hard to motivate the left behind. No wonder they lose alot at the moment.
Well he's in the under 19's but he's not in their squad for their Euro's either, but I suspect the reason for that is Pulis has pulled him out to keep him out as it clashes with pre-season. He was actually one of England's best players in their recent qualifiers.
In more surprisingly positive England news, they've also reached the final of the Toulon tournament for the second year running, also adding on to making the finals of the 2017 under 17 euro's which they lost on penalties after a keeper mistake in that last minute. This is unprecedented youth success for England who've historically done poorly at these tournaments, fingers can only be pointed at the clubs if they fail to break through. It'll be a crying shame because England are the equal of anyone at youth levels these days, after years of being outclassed but getting by on physicality.
Playing Venezuela in the final. Apparently this group also won the U17 Euros 3 years ago
Chelsea also finished bottom of their group. You'd think with their youth players they'd be right up there as well
I know it's a competition that doesn't really matter but if our Academy is good shouldn't it be able to compete with league 2 teams?
You have to regard this as not being far off what Pulis regards as being his stongest XI (notwithstanding sulking Saido), so it looks like Pulis is, predictably, continuing in last season's vein with regard to Chester, despite his impressive performances at Euro 2016. I'm sure Chester realises it's futile staying with us when Olsson is still being preferred to him.
