3-1 Obertan
Obertan scores
Norwood really has stepped up a level in the last few weeks. Some of his passing is just incredible.
I though the keeper had missed it. Looked like Obertan nicked it off him in the replay.
Nicely taken

Chelsea goal ruled out for off side after a good save
Not sure how that was offside.. didn't look it
Petrucci on for Brady
Hopefully another nice little cameo for Petrucci.
United getting all the decisions even at the reserve level
Impressive 'fro
To think they say you have to be a special player to wear pink boots, he must be a hell of a player to rock that fro 
Chelsea players falling left, right and centre
BEBE. I just don't know. This is weirder and weirder.
And he scores

King off, Rudge on
Bebe goal
Another sensational pass from Norwood!
The babe scores
Great ball from Petrucci. Little Rudge knocking it past the keeper and nearly in the net..
4-1 Bebe.. Another ball from Norwood too. Bossed it tonight.

Norwood is seriously looking good.
I love the way Bebe scored, we've all tried that haven't we? Doesn't really pan out like that though 
Rudge highly rated?
Dont know much about him. Surprised he is playing reserve team footy so soon.

Ban Norwood, I heard that offended my ears.
offended my ears.The bench for the last few games has been v young due to the Youth Cup commitments. Gives them some experience with the older lads and is good for their development. I wouldn't read too much into it, Les Kershaw seems to be very positive about the U16s though.
Fantastic Bebe, how has he missed out on the Young Player of the Year short-list?!?!?!
Nice run and one two with Obertan from Bebe, shame about the finish.
I like this little Rudge, tough little blighter!

Nice ball from Rudge to Obertan. Has at least looked confident in his reserve cameos

Norwood had an excellent game, I talked about another possible Petrucci cameo....but Rudge's cameo was pretty damn good.
There's definitely something in this Scholesy getting banned & Norwood's form getting better!
Spending less time on the forum, more time training I guess.

I think we win our next game and we're champions again - but tonight I think the scoreline was fair. Though they had a legit goal ruled out, we were a real threat. Norwood was pinging the ball around, Brady got stuck in, and Chelsea could not handle our pace/movement. Great start to the week and when you think about who was missing, you can't help but be positive about the future.
Good performance, definitely. Norwood was class, Defence looked reasonably solid, Vermijl looked good getting forward, Obertan looked interested this time and King was.. King. 1 point needed against Liverpool or Arsenal and we win the group. Then comes a play-off against Blackburn or Liverpool and the winner will play Arsenal or Chelsea for the title.

Norwood had the first pass for all four goals, right?
Yeah, assisted the third & fourth. Launched the attacks for first & second.
The more I see of Norwood, the more he reminds me of Beckham; that same absence of real pace, but a beautiful right foot and eye for a pass
