Good Luck to the Young Blues who play Newcastle at St James Park tonight in the quarter final.

 

Let's hope we can continue our success of recent seasons but it won't be easy and if we do get past the bar-codes Arsenal await in a two-leg semi final.

 

Come on You Blues!

 

 

1-0 up after 23 minutes.

1-1 - the Newcastle equaliser a Maradonaesque punch into the goal which the ref missed!!

 

Outrageous. Hopefully justice will prevail and we'll go on to win.

Trailing 2-1 at half time - the second Newcastle goal a gift from Loftus-Cheek.

 

We are the better side but the handball goal has rocked them. Leaves a nasty taste when you see cheating like that at Youth level.

 

COME ON YOUNG CHELS!!!

Is this over 2 legs or straight knock out?

Straight knock-out Barak. 2-2!

Keep posting, please lads, much appreciated!

Boga 3-2!

It's been all Chelsea for as long as I've been watching. How is it only 3-2?!

The Chelsea TV commentators certainly don't mince words about the incident :-) How could the referee and the assistent have missed that?

Cheating f**ker.

Justice was done. 3-2 win. Arsenal in the semi's!

Well done lads!

I watched the last 5 and the fella that put it in with his hands was on his knees with his head in his hands like he had just lost the CL final.... You cheated you f**k!! you got exactly what you deserved!

who were the stand out performers here? 

I have only seen parts of the game, but from what I've seen Brown and Boga were really good.

Given the last weeks events perhaps they are rather apprehensive of the use of the head up at Newcastle.

Cheers for the updates.

Team played well as a whole but all of our attacking players, Brown, Solanke, Kiwomya and Boga were the pick. All made telling contributions. As the commentators mentioned, Boga tends to drift in and out of games - he may do nothing for 15/20 minutes but then he will take a defence apart. He is to the Youth team what Hazard is to the first - he just needs to get a bit more consistant.

 

I still have my concerns on Loftus-Cheek. He seems to have it all in his locker and he is a real physical speciman - looks so much bigger and stronger than those around him. But a bit like Mikel, he has the habit of coasting and switching off. Cost us one goal and then in the second half when the pressure was on he put us under more pressure by getting caught on the ball. But he's young and the coaches will no doubt look to iron these sort of errors out of his game.

Jesus not saying a lot for the newcastle academy if they get away with cheating like that. Disgusting. Well done the yoof

Where was Charlie Musonda?

On the bench for the entire game.

Really? is he just back from injury or something or in bad form because i thought he was one of the best players.

I was surprised as well, but he didn't really seem to be involved in the U21 side lately and I don't really follow the U18's apart from the Youth Cup so I can't say anything about that.
