Thread | Man Utd U18 v QPR U18
at 12:15 13 Jul 2025
The U18s were at Manchester United's Carrington training complex yesterday for a pre - season friendly.
Unfortunately there were no teamsheets so I have no real idea as to the make up or age of our lads.
Not surprisingly the United team was by far the better side and dominated the possession throughout the 90 minutes.
Rangers did equalise to make it 1.1 following a mistake by the Utd keeper from a first half corner, but it was pretty much one way traffic as the first half continued.
4.1 down at half time and Utd brought on a brand new eleven - including Michael Carrick's son Jacey.
Rangers also made a number of substitutions at the break, much needed too as the weather was above 30 degrees.
United had the bulk of possession again and finished the half strongly, scoring more late goals to win the match 8.2.
Special mentions to Charlie Street who defended admirably and also to the young striker (whose first name was Skylar) who scored an absolute screamer from 20+ yards out in the 2nd half to make the score 5.1.
The boys had travelled up from London yesterday morning for the 13.00 kick off, so although the scoreline was disappointing the travel, heat and number of substitutes available need to be considered. As does the fact that the development team were also playing yesterday, with several of their squad out in Spain.

Harvey Vale was the only positive in that dreadful 45 minutes.
We were lucky to only concede 4 |

Old git alert.....
This season will be the 50th anniversary of our greatest team. Surely we should have opted for the Feyenoord style away kit we used in 75-76 |

It was Gordon's 1973-74 team that I fell in love with as an impressionable nine year old. They were an absolute breath of fresh air to watch with Francis and Venables pulling the strings in midfield and providing the ammunition for a Bowles, Thomas and Givens led attack.
As mentioned previously it was the excellent foundations laid by Gordon that Dave Sexton would later build upon.
His aptly named book "Pioneer" is well worth a read. |

Good luck to the lad.
I would expect him to feature in and around the first Team this season and will not be at all suprised if he is our first choice left back by May. |

Mini Chesh and I were at the Derby v Lancs T20 last night and had the misfortune to be seated near an incredibly drunk/coked up Micky lookalike/soundalike from The League Of Gentleman.
Sporting a Derby County shirt and a (very) bad mullet he looked totally bemused when I asked if Pauline had taken her pens back 😁 |

My very best wishes to Vic.
I first met him at Vicarage Road back in 1984 and I bet I have seen him at most away matches since then.
Truly one of our own |

Hopefully Marti will still be here in August - but if not I would look at the Go Ahead Eagles head coach Paul Simonis.
A young coach with a good style of football and punching well above his weight in the Eredivisie. |

Dave's condition continues to improve. I was with him for a couple of hours today and he was far less tired than on previous visits and back to his talkative self.
Dave is incredibly appreciative of all the good wishes messages that he has received from the QPR family and obviously hopes to be back to full power as soon as possible. Although there is currently no real indication of recovery timescales, I expect that will probably become clearer in the next few days.
I can also confirm that we intend to have AKUTRs on sale at Stoke next Saturday and then at Loftus Road for the Cardiff game. I know that any sales will put a big smile on DT's face. |

I'm just back from visiting Dave who is still in Bolton Hospital.
Firstly he looks much better than he did two days ago and has also been moved from a single room, out onto a larger ward.
Tests are ongoing - so presumably a clearer picture as to timescales for recovery will duly follow.
Dave is really appreciative of all the messages of support. I'm certain that they have given him a tremendous boost over the last few days.
I plan a return visit on Sunday - after which I can further update the good people of LFW with Dave's progress. |

I've just been visiting Dave again this morning.
I read out your post to him and his laughter was so loud that it actually caused some concern on the ward.
Brilliant [Post edited 21 Mar 13:08]

Thanks. I hope to see Dave again tomorrow, so will ask about possibly collecting the fanzines from the printers and bringing them to the Stoke game.
I'll keep you posted |

I visited Dave at Bolton hospital yesterday morning and can confirm his sense of humour is very much intact.
He has certainly been through the mill in the last few days but is now hopefully on the road to recovery.
However I'm not sure if he was more pleased to see me or the charger that I had taken for his iphone 😁 [Post edited 20 Mar 10:46]

Awful news for Carlisle.
They have a great set of loyal fans, whose company I have enjoyed on many a train journey to and from Euston over the years.
They deserve better. |

Vitoria have had a remarkable season so far with a 2nd place finish in the initial Conference League table.
Hopefully they have made some money from their European exploits this year and will pay a fee for Hevertton at the end of the proposed loan.
Good luck to the lad. |
