LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 So Pardew wants Marv, Obertan, Jonas and Hatem gone, yet they aren't given games to keep up fitness or just to be able to play. Is that not petty beyond belief. It's pretty standard, I think. Which is weird, surely keeping the players fitness up-ish, and they're experience can only help the youngsters in the U21's. And why when Marv was first signed but not fit, did he play for the U21's to get some fitness, now Pardew wants him out he gets no playing time at any level. Something is just not right. NUFC don't want any of them to pick up a bad injury which would stop them moving on. They are training, just not playing in friendlies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get injured in training though, see Ryan Taylor for that. I think it's just vindictive actions to get the players to leave, you'll only get football if you go type of thing.

Players can get injured in training but playing in matches increases the chances of picking up an injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wasn't exactly a great solo goal, the ball bobbles between him and every defender he runs near. A cracking finish at the end though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Which age group is it we have at the Milk Cup? Is it the under 16s? One won and lost one so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's a young group for sure. Think we lost two, won two and go into a secondary pool final now against a Russian team. Think I read that on .com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 They've tweaked the format of the Barclay's U21 Premier League this year. Two divisions now: http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2014-15/jul/barclays-under-21-premier-league-2014-15-fixtures-released.html You guys are up against Arsenal, Middlesbrough and Brighton in Div 2. Mackems in Div 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think it's on BT Sport/Sky this year too, plus you've got to play at least three games at your proper ground (SJP/WHL etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Surprised to see Arsenal in Div 2. They basically split last year's league in half, then bumped two teams up to make room for Derby and Brighton (new Level 1 academies). I knew Arsenal didn't do well last year, but I'd forgotten about Villa. We were pretty much the best team the year before, but were in the middle last year and only went into Div 1 because of the two new clubs. In our case, we pretty much loaned out everybody who would have been in the U21s. I presume Villa and Arsenal were the same. It's difficult to judge from results, because you can play three overage players too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 An NUFC XI will play Blyth Spartans at Croft Park on Friday night, ko 7.30 and admission £5 / £2. Likely to be a young line-up but wouldn't be surprised to see a few fringe players thrown in there as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
