I believe that there are two "seasons" last season was the groups and the highest two of each group go to the Elite group and the rest into a regular group, I think it's later this year around Feb/March to the end of the actual season.

But then I'm guessing!

This is the future of grassroots football, to have two "seasons" in one season, one pre Christmas and the other post Christmas

That sounds a good result against a far more experienced Arsenal team. Nabi seems to get on the scoresheet quite a bit, anyone seen him play ?

Can't say I have but i think he's about 17 and in that second wave of academy products with Donervon Daniels. Probably just overshadowed by Chris and Saido in the public eye.

Nabi is 18 at the moment, 19 in February or March now. He was great at schoolboy level and started well at academy level but faded. He hasn't developed much physically and here might be question marks over his pace and power at the pro level but he seems to be scoring again now he has gone from under 18's to under 21's level.

When I have seen him, he has bee very lively and confident. He seems to play just behind the strikers and likes to go for goal.

As an aside. Is Terry Burton back with us again? Haven't heard anything about that one, thought he left to coach for Dave Jones at Sheffield Wednesday.

He aint very loyal if he is with us,he was managing the Arsenal kids ;p

Brothers and it sounds like there's a third on the books as well.

Great to see the good run against Wolves is still going.

Always nice to see a goal against the Dingles.

couple of nice bits of play there - and a great goal

GrGr · « **Reply #99 on:** February 08, 2013, 06:43:09 PM »

Great shot, but very strange goal, one Albion player surrounded by eight Wolves, yet he scored.
