Checkatrade trophy 17/18

[MFC-Manc]

Is our group:
Carlisle
Fleetwood
Morecambe
And a selected top team
?

[Shrimp Girl]

Yes.
The 'top' team will be one of Everton, Leicester City, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Stoke City, Sunderland or West Bromwich Albion. I think these will be sorted into the groups on Wednesday 12th July.

If I were their u21 manager the first thing I would do is change my surname by deedpole.

It cannot be serious!

[John L]

He's probably just grateful his parents didn't name him Phil!

But on the other hand..... from Wikipedia's page about Steve Beaglehole:

"His son Shamus Beaglehole (Born 1 March 1993 in Doncaster) joined Chesterfield as a scholar in the summer of 2009. He plays in midfield and had been at Doncaster Rovers centre of excellence.

In April 2014 Shamus won Name of the Year"
