Today's Football 2015 / 16

[Jamo Martinez]

French League Football has always been jarg

The only reason Marseille won the champions league all those years ago was because their owner was dodgy as fudge

The national team has admittedly been successful, but how many of the players in that side were plying their trade in France itself?

Platini, their most famous player, wasn't even playing in France during his peak years

Aren't you the one who posts continually about Scottish football?

Your point?

I'd rather watch Celtic Vs Aberdeen than Evian Vs Grenoble Foot any day of the week

Everybody should listen to Stan Collynore right now. Brilliant stuff.

What's he saying?

What's he saying?

How Premier League clubs are wasting transfer money instead of bringing their own through.

Hardly a revelation what Collymoore is saying

Our record with the kids is hardly amazing. Conor sitting on the bench, Chris Long and Shane Duffy out of the club etc

Barkley, Browning, Stones(good scouting).

Stones was already developed at Barnsley. We poached him and added gloss to him

Barkley I'll give you

It's too early regards to Browning. Plenty of time for us to blow it with him

Mikey if they aren't good enough they don't tend to make it, if they are they are given the chance to train and occasionally play with the first team. Duffy felt he needed game time, Long felt he needed game time, they moved on to do so and so far very few of former academy players have gone on to prove our youth team coaches wrong.

My point is even the 2 French teams you mention are possibly at least as entertaining as the 2 Scottish teams you mention (One of whom is the best of the lot). If you bring the likes of Marseilles, Lyon, Lille, Montpellier, St Ettiene plus Monaco and PSG into the equation, There's no comparison.

Well Boro did it and then lost all their academy guys and look what league they are in right now. Soton did it to more success but you know all those players are gone as well. You have to maintain an ever stable pipeline to make it work which is impossible. Your best bet is probably having 2-3 homegrown players on a side at a time.

Good luck to Wales tonight

I concur

Would like all four home nations to make it!
