U18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

The women win the FA Cup, the U21 women become national champs, the U18s win the northern league, and now they have beaten Chelsea 2-1 - at Chelsea - to be crowned national champs.

In what was a tough and slightly nervy final at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United came out on top against a strong Chelsea side to be crowned U18 national champions.

Both sides traded blows early on but United mixed it up between the high line and high press with sitting deep and playing long balls for Ethan Wheatley to run on to, which saw the young striker unlucky not to score when he hit the left post.

United's front 4 of Ethans Williams and Wheatley, Jack Fletcher, and James Scanlon look strong though, and it was Wheatley who finally got his deserved goal in the 21st minute with a cool finish off an outstretched Williams pass through the centre.

Chelsea fought back and used the physicality of RCM Ampah to push past United LB Harry Amass, as well as having chances from Runham and George, but good defending from Louis Jackson off the line and keeper Elyh Harrison kept United in front at the break.

That lead lasted for 120 seconds. Sake.

Chelsea held possession at the start of the second half and built a nice attack up the field, before whipping a deep cross in to back post and letting the tall Acheampong dwarf Harry Amass and easily pressure him off to nod home the equaliser. United were very bunched up in the box though, especially towards the front, and the coaching staff will be disappointed with the team's poor marking and positioning to allow Chelsea back into the game.

Chelsea's confidence shone through George in particular, and United's attacks were met with equally fierce counters. The boys in red smartly slowed the tempo down though to allow themselves a foot back in the game, which gave Ethan Wheatley the chance to break on the right side of the Chelsea box for a lovely cutback to Jack Fletcher. His effort was spurned, but the deflection from keeper Merrick fell perfectly to Ethan Williams to make it 2-1 United.

Some great footwork in the 63rd minute by Ethan Wheatley could and should have put United 3-1 up but for a good save and an average shot, but that's experience - and the footwork to get through the box defenders was top notch. Same can be said for James Scanlon the Gibraltan international; a right-sided attacker drifted central and coasting through the Chelsea midfield. Confidence, composure, and determination. Lovely stuff.

Poor defending in the 81st minute from the Chelsea goalscorer Acheampong let Ethan Wheatley in for a shot on goal but again, experience would have helped as the striker was indecisive and tried a late shot on goal rather than the pass to either Williams or Fletcher.

Chelsea continued to attack hard, and had United sat deep and scrambling to stay in the lead, but their wasteful finishing allowed United another two chances on the break - both to Ethan Wheatley again. How he didn't end the night with a hat-trick, let alone a second goal, is baffling, but perhaps it was the pressure of the final or bad luck or fatigue... who knows.

All that matters is that United won come that final whistle in a tough battle against a strong Chelsea youth team, and I'm sure it's a battle we'll see in years to come for some of these aspiring professionals.

Shoutout to Rick Riordan for successfully brainwashing an entire generation into believing that the St. Louis arch goes over the Mississippi River. Actual king shit.

do we think for a moment when that door banged grover and annabeth were kids again? 19 and 7 standing on that hill in each others arms watching thalia take her stand ?

you think for a moment when grover realised percy was going to die for them he hoped Poseidon would help?

you think after everything annabeth couldn’t hope? you think she might have been angry because it was happening again? after all she’d done she was going to lose another friend

you think for a moment she lost her faith ?

because i do

there's fanfiction where i just go: this is actually canon now, and that's it. that's all of it. i'll see, read or watch new canon stuff and go: this is incoherent. this no longer matches the canon that i know. and it's because the canon that i know it's on ao3.

Match Review: Brighton & Hove Albion U21s 0-1 Manchester United U21s

FORM. It is building.

Four league wins in a row for United's U21s and suddenly we're at the top end of the table and looking dangerous. Excellent.

An early bit of skill and nous from Dan Gore to burst in the box earned United a penalty after just five minutes of play, with Brighton's Joe Knight bringing the midfielder down.

Up stepped Sam Mather to smash home a lovely high finish off the underside of the crossbar to make it 1-0 - and one nil it stayed.

Both sides had fair spells of possession and chances on goal, with Elyh Harrison repeatedly tested in the United net, but in truth not much of substance happened until late on when Louis Jackson earned a quickfire double of yellow cards to be dismissed from the field. Whoops.

Next up the lads are in action in the National League Cup. It's away at Oldham Athletic on Wednesday January 29, but will be live on MUTV. Kick off is 7pm.

You are frightened. It’s all right, Percy. Your father sent me to tell you, it’s all right. Just breathe. Your father is here. He’s always been here. It is so hard for him to stand back. To see you struggle. It is so hard for us all. But he’s here. And he’s so very proud. Trust him. Trust yourself. Just… breathe.
