You can’t win anything with kids!

Tonight against Everton in the Premier League, Manchester United are set to extend a historic streak of having an academy graduate in the first-team matchday squad — a streak of 4000 games, dating back to 1937. From Tom Manley and Jackie Walsall, to the Busby Babes, to the Class of ‘92, and now the new kids on the block under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United have carried on a proud tradition of fielding homegrown talent.

The top five of United’s all-time appearances list are all academy graduates, as are several of the club’s record goalscorers. Fifteen managers over 82 years have given youth a chance. It is, as current manager Solskjaer says, “in our DNA”.

United’s leading goalscorer and talisman for the season is Marcus Rashford (13 goals), who has been with United since age seven. 18-year-old Mason Greenwood follows with six (6) goals and has been with United since age six.

"Bailo Como Gringa, Juego Como Mexicana"

Katie Jay, Katie Jay, oh the one who got away. Yes, I'm aware that Katie Johnson plays for Sky Blue now, but allow me this moment to reflect on a player I really love, and one I hope returns to Royal Blue real soon. I actually ended up watching back all of the goals she scored for us, and that was really fun. It was hard to settle on one favorite, though. I guess by circumstance and celebration the 2-1 against Chicago is an easy pick, but I still have a huge soft spot for her 2-0 goal against Houston. 'Spose you can't go wrong with either, right?

Side note, if any of you have Instagram, follow @blesstherebel there. Hopefully I fuckin' remember to post my pieces here in the future, but they'll for sure be up there first.

"And In Case You Forgot..."

I'm the king! How fitting that she's royalty now, eh? I love A-Rod to death. She is such an incredible player, and although she is the direct cause of some very profound, personal heartbreak, I legit got emotional when she came back. I can't wait for her to cleave my heart out again, haha. Couldn't decide which version I liked better, so I decided to just post both.

"Same As It Ever Was"

Old piece done for the win against Sky Blue back in May. What a performance from Pinoe... I mean, come on, now... I live to see her score a goal, and even more to see her celebrate one! An excellent way to close out that night, haha!

"Fan The Flames Fuel The Fire"

I've wanted to make a piece for Allie Long since day one, and never got around to it. I love her so much! She's such an amazing player, and I'm hyped that she's gotten on the scoresheet a few times already. Here's to a gang more goals!

"A Deusa Do Gol"

Is there really anything I could possibly say about Marta that hasn't been said to death already? Simply put, she's one of the greatest footballers in the history of the universe. There are probably little boys and girls on Venus right now that dream of someday reaching the heights that she has.
