Nike Academy - Take on Forest and triumph

The Nike Academy's latest challenge was a tough match-up against Nottingham Forests U17 squad. The players were ready but the proof would be on the pitch. And with the recent Brighton draw still fresh in their mind nothing less than a win would satisfy.

From the start it was clear the Academy were hungry, applying pressure and forcing their way into Forests area. A deadly combination of clever touches and inspired teamwork, gave the boys a 4-0 lead going into half time, with David Knight, Lee Brennan and Kyle Fraser-Allen getting on the scoresheet. Forest fought back in the second half to make it 4-1, but an impressive long-range effort from Dubi Ogbonna put the game out of reach and gave the Academy a well earned 5-1 victory.

Do all of the keepers in England suck as much as Robert Green?

[febthemule1]

@JimmyPageAndJoePerry puyol,abidal,pique,ramos,marce­lo,ujfalusi ,dani alves,milito all say otherwise.

the only defenders who can challenge these are vidic,ferdinand,evra and cole.......and dont get me started on attackers

@febthemule1 cole is overrated. You want a player nobody can beat? Go get Lassana Diarra and roberto carlos.

@flimda world class defenders? james collins??? you joking got to be an Aston Villa fan. Luiz is a long way from world class and mertesacke cant hack it in the prem from current evidence. Distin is a decent CB for everton but still not world class, the rest I'll give you

@IamLeofied really? cause all i see is the trophy going to manutd or chelsea year after year... get your facts right noob.

[IamLeofied]

@GreenFarinha Yup, EPL is a team. haha. In the EPL at least 3 or 4 teams fight for the title until the last fucking game each year. The league winner never wins by a landslide, unlike La Liga where Barcelona has 1 million pts, Real madrid has 999,998 pts and the rest have like 20.

[GreenFarinha]

@IamLeofied lmao no u didnt. epl is a team that only 2 teams can win. only on this year city is a serious contender. so spanish league is 2 teams, same with epl.

[IamLeofied]

@GreenFarinha We were talking about leagues, not teams. I win, you lose.
