We beat Blackburn 4-1 to go through to the final last night. We have a great youth team with Emile Heskeys lads and Chris Sambas lads too, plus Mcaidoo and others.

The final is currently scheduled for 9th May and we have home advantage for the final. However we play Brentford on the 9th May? They usually move from the minihad to the Etihad for the final too. Not sure what will happen with regards to the date.

We will play either the rags or crystal Palace, who play their semi final next Friday

Curious to see if any of the lads will be promoted to the first squad next season. Mcaidoo looks very promising (and has a very cool surname). The rest I haven't really seen.

Lamb is a promising striker too, big and strong and scored loads.

Yep, teddy Lamb is a massive prospect. Similar to Delap at the same age

Is mukasa or the other heskey still eligible for this team? Some achievement for them considering some of their best players are out on loan
