Newcastle United Academy could be on the up according to Sky Sports, ironic when NUFC Academy side have lost 6-0 and 3-0 in first 2 games.

To put it into perspective, the Newcastle United first team have been more ‘successful’ than the reserves (Under 21s) and Academy (Under 18s) so far this season.

Considering how often the Under 18s have been outplayed, it makes Lewis McNall’s goalscoring record all the more remarkable.

After refusing to confirm for two years that they had failed to get top status, the club has now announced that Newcastle United Academy is Category One.

English clubs turn athletes into footballers; not footballers into athletes.

“Size is not important, most important is that the player has talent, that they can play with the ball, not that they are the strongest or tallest”.
