Aston Villa's youth team proves football can be entertaining - The Midlander
Every now and again professional football observers are reminded why it is that the game still has the capacity to engage.[LNB]And so it was on Wednesday night when I trooped to a sodden Villa Park to watch the inaugural NextGen Series quarter-final between Villa and Olympique Marseille.[LNB]No doubt the brains behind the competition had hoped it would take off in pretty much the same way as the Champions League, no doubt looking for it to make a fistful of cash in the process. I doubt it was conceived for altruistic reasons.
