Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Grfirestorm]

Problem is most of these kids won't even get a chance at a senior club side, let alone the national side

We really need to install quotas to starting XI's I think to encourage more of the top sides to develop young native talent, and introduce penalties and fines to clubs who stockpile young players only to loan them out like Chelsea

We do - there is real talent on show yet they'll never see a premier league game most of them - probably be lucky to get on the bench. However 5-2 from 2-0 down - deserve some respect for that.

They've done magnificently

I think a rule that each Premier League side needs at least 3 homegrown players (They have to have been on the books for the club in question for a set amount of time to qualify as "homegrown") in the Starting XI would help massively, and ensure the good work done here isn't undone

McLean on for Albion. Presumably sans poppy

Good for him. Nice to see a footballer with a bit of a political conscience for a change.

Let’s keep politics out of the footie please folks.

It rarely ends well in our experience.

Huddersfield and Klopps best mate laying down and letting them run riot...what a surprise

 

[KaiserEFC]

Nothing like watching West Sham capitulate against Palace

Rated him for years, another talented young player that @MorgsGoat said we shouldn't sign

It’s ok. Some people want Wagner to Ben our manager. Seriously but.

Mikey’s seen him play about 3 times mate. Don’t worry about it.

Remember when @davek wanted Begovic?

The only blot in his copy book recently.

 

[Simon baker]

Hahahaha it was a flick on Heskey in his sleep could have done. He was absolutely dreadful today.

A flick on that would have came to nothing if pochentinho played Davidson Sanchez instead of dier who is simply too slow to play at the back turns like a ferry

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

I know Bournemouth are currently in the league more our rival, however it feels just gross and unnatural to hope Chelsea win

Pretty sure Foden will shine anywhere but he'll defo gets a chance at City if Guardiola stays.

That's one thing even Guardiola's detractors would have to give him. He does trust young players at the highest level

Lukaku a confirmed fraud/snake
