It takes a lot more than good facilities to be a good club for developing youth talents.

That's not a dig at City, their plans are wonderful. Just it's misguided to say, because we have these facilities, this is the premier place for youth development.

Look at Barcelona's team now. None of those players came through a spectacularly designed academy (probably an even better one setting tbh, such a shame La Masia is no longer the academy hub). It's the coaching and club ethos which is most important in producing young talents. Facilities help but they aren't even the #1 requirement.

I agree 100% it was an ethos that allowed it to happen and years of work along with some great natural talent.

Dunno. Everyone seemed to think Villa are going to finish in the top half, almost unanimously.

Really? Well I bloody hope so. Today was frightening. We need to be bussing in the new signings next week. Just buy them by the pound, thats how many we need.

Jol and Liverpool target Dempsey no longer on speaking terms
Martin Jol and Clint Dempsey are no longer on speaking terms according to the Fulham boss.
The American, a fans’ favourite at Craven Cottage after six star-studded seasons in west London, is a target for Liverpool.
However, with the transfer deadline looming and a deal no closer to being struck Jol is keen to reconcile his relationship with Dempsey.
But the forward is as determined as ever to force a move to Anfield rather than return to the Fulham team.
“Nothing has changed,” Jol said. “I asked him to come in my office and he doesn’t want to talk so it is a very awkward situation.
“The only thing is we kept everything behind the curtains so nobody knew but this situation is as it is for the last five weeks.”

First Penalty of the season goes to Juve 35 mins in. Seems like this is going to be an interesting season

They shouldn't give penalties that early? We're aiming to break Milan's record of 12 dubious penalties.

Pretty bad first half. We need to step on it in the second. Some dangerous situations with terrible ball control from our guys. Hopefully Carrera brought a recording of one of Conte's half-time speeches with him. You know, the ones that actually did happen, unlike Carobbio's.

Also, King Arturo obviously wanted the keeper to save the non-penalty. He is a just ruler. THE KING IN THE NORTH!
