That's how they setup BC. Think that's how I predicted it would be a few pages back
Did you go to the game ?

Pretty disappointed the final is not being held at a neutral venue.
win the 2nd stage - get on paper, an easier semi then play the final away from home
come second or third in the 2nd stage win your semi then get home advantage for the final
What kind of logic is that

Fryers was definitely left back, had a decent game. Carroll was tidy on the ball and spread it about well. Ceballos held onto the ball a bit too long at times instead of keeping it moving but did great for the winner.
Obika did well to get the 2 goals, could have had 4 though.
Impressed with Bentalab, slim looking frame but strong on the ball.
We play a proper 4-3-3 though which I like, wingers pushed high up with the midfield 3 behind.
Mccevoy was lively when he came on, skinned his man a few times and put in some good crosses. Good game overall, enjoyed it.

OS announced line up as :
Tottenham Hotspur @SpursOfficial3h
Here's our team - Archer; Fredericks, Fryers, Hall, Stewart; Bentaleb, Carroll, Veljkovic; Pritchard, Obika, Ceballos.
I've assumed from the OS tweet that Fryers was CB and Stewart LB - but either could easily swap position in practice

Should really be a neutral venue, but I can't see the logic in the team that won both their groups with relative ease having to play the final at their opponent's ground. I know it was a different set up last season, but Man Utd played the final at Old Trafford as the home team.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the juniors over the years, most of us are ever so grateful. I went tonight.

Not sure if they will use their proper stadiums but they would the home team. I know we played Liverpool at Anfield but I think Utd always use Bury or something like that for their youth /reserve games.

U21S 3-2 EVERTON - LATE OBIKA STRIKE BOOKS FINAL DATE!
Posted 13 May 2013 6:35pm
Jon Obika struck in the final minute to beat Everton in a thrilling Barclays U21 Premier League play-off, semi-final at White Hart Lane on Monday night.
Alex Pritchard opened the scoring on 11 minutes only for Everton to level in the final seconds of added time in the first half through Conor McAleny.
The teams then exchanged goals at the start of the second half. Obika finished in style for 2-1 but Everton hit back immediately, Chris Long on target.
Both teams had chances to win it, Long struck the post for the visitors before Obika struck again in the 89th minute, diving in to meet Cristian Ceballos' low cross.
We will now play the winners of Tuesday night's second semi-final between Manchester United and Liverpool, a date for the final to be confirmed.

It's a shame it isn't high profile enough for them to use a separate venue. I'm sure the 1882 movement will be there in full force though

We scraped through that one rather.
Everton defended with discipline and broke with purpose, and our patient probing, particularly, from the always excellent Carroll, struggled to open them up. There was a point where our pretty midfield triangles would not have disgraced the Peru of Teofilo Cubillas.
Pritchard was disappointingly ineffective; Ceballos saw more of the ball, at times being almost Taarabtesque in his reluctance to let go of it. Obika was by some distance the pick of our front three, always looking a threat when we could get him on the ball.
The back four did well enough; Stewart in particular looks like a footballer. But the defender who really caught the eye was wee Jack Barthram, who came on as a second half sub, and, while snuffing out the threat of their left winger, was from that point on involved in just about everything good that we did.
Archer was impressively acrobatic and at times needed to be.
