good to hear its going well, Brandy is doing well
 
Full time: 2-0. Sam Hewson got the first goal, Brandy the second.

United at home to Barnsley or Birmingham in the quater finals.
 
Welbeck is the star of the team. He looks really talented.

Yeah, he had a great game. Haven't heard of him much. What's the story behind him?
 
I've only seen him a few times, but he looks a real cut above at that age group. Plays on the right of midfield, has a lot of skill, is quick, and his passing and shooting are very good. He's full of energy and can tackle too. I think he could be ready for the top leagues in a year or two, I really do. He and Amos are in the England U-17 squad.

Seems amazing that he was born in the 1990s. That's guaranteed to make me feel old.

From the FA site (http://www.thefa.com/England/U17s/Players/):
Danny Welbeck
Midfield, 26/11/1990
Danny has appeared five times for the young Lions since making his debut against Wales last October. He was also part of the England squad that travelled to the Faroe Islands for the Nordic Tournament in the summer. The Manchester United starlet has been in goalscoring form for his club's under-18 side, netting twice already this season. His most recent strike came in the 4-2 win over Huddersfield when, having come on as a second half substitute, he rounded off the team's scoring.

Would be nice to beat Arsenal and finally settle the argument who's got the best youngsters in the country.
