georgeweahscousin Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 The new 'Fergie's Fledglings'? http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/29/mauricios-minors-saints-academy-is-the-best-in-the-league-3941415/
Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 I'm glad you've stopped calling him Mo Po!
niceandfriendly Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 Mauricio's minors??? Sounds well dodgy.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 I'm not one to nitpick but seeing as he is a nipper who is starting to receive some attention he'd probably be grateful to see his name spelt correctly - it is Harrison Reed not Harrison Read.

Nitpicking is absolutely allowed. Had already realised this and will rectify asap.

Toon Saint Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 'Poch's Pubescents' has a tad more gravitas IMO.
Chewy Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 'Poch's Pubescents' has a tad more gravitas IMO. Prodigies would be better than pubescents.
georgeweahscousin Posted 30 August, 2013 Author Posted 30 August, 2013 But none of yours sound like an actual vintage Btitish motor car....
Toon Saint Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 But none of yours sound like an actual vintage Btitish motor car.... My surname is actually Morris...so had this all of my life. Find your nickname offensive and it has stirred up some painful memories. Thanks.
Torres Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 Only vaguely related, but look at the state of this fella: http://metro.co.uk/author/jamie-sanderson-ukmetro/
moonraker Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 (edited) This is becoming a bit weird, how many articles have there been on the Academy. I realise there is a degree of syndication but the fact that so may mouthpieces are actually publishing all this Saints positivity just feels, well weird. The young lads themselves must feel chuffed. Despite some believing that this is not good as it will attract attention as if professional scouts from around the country didint already know how good we are. I believe this level of publicity can only be a good thing. These sorts of stories tend to kick start a self fulfilling prophecy, all of these lads have signed pro forms and are comitted to Saints, other youngsters will want to follow.

Of course it's all good news, but this isn't an article as such, just a blog written by a Saints fan.
Marsdinho Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 I was going to write for the Metro, until they found out I had never been arrested and couldn't provide a mug shot.
ant Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 (edited) Hmm, bit of an odd turn of phrase, that. Edited 16 September, 2013 by ant
Badger Posted 30 August, 2013 Posted 30 August, 2013 I liked the Espanyol nickname Pinocchio? Sherriff at Espanyol wasn't it ?

These sorts of stories tend to kick start a self fulfilling prophecy, all of these lads have signed pro forms and are comitted to Saints, other youngsters will want to follow. Two things about this. 1) Our U21s keep losing (probably as 4 of their better likely teammates are playing for the firsts, with a couple more involved this week) and 2) who the hell thinks professional scouts don't already know Saints (an Elite-graded Academy) are any good ? Seriously, can you imagine a scout saying to the first team manager that he's going to pop down to watch one of Saints Academy teams on the off-chance there's a player no-one knows about ? Arsene Wenger had a database of all promising African under 13 players at Arsenal more than ten years ago, which gives you an idea of the kind of detailed knowledge there is out there. NO-ONE is "not aware" of any Saints Academy players' existence or abilities.
