Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Man City are promoting this Socios trash to their fans. The 'fan engagement crypto token' that allows you to vote on things like halftime playlist once you've invested in Socios crypto CLZ or whatever it's called.

Man City are promoting this on Twitter. A platform that allows them to run a poll for free asking their fans which songs they want to hear at half time.

And it's not just a Man City thing so. Loads of other clubs are actively trying to find ways to scam their supporters of money. The game is gone.

So they're spending money to get the same Oasis songs they would have got anyway

The Bayern one is BS.

All they wanted to do was get Barca on top and see how they had to add the class players part to put Barca as #1. But Real cannot make top 10. Nor PSG

Chelsea over Sporting look at this nonsense. Chelsea only been doing it for 5 minutes.

Sporting Ajax Benfica Lyon D-Zagreb River all better. Why because they give players careers not just at the highest levels but at lower ones as well. Like that's why United academy is well regarded they might not of had the high quality like the class of 92 in recent times but you look at the lower leagues many teams are filled with ex United academy players. That's the true test of an academy. Players year in year out not every 10 years or so.

Want to know the difference between Barca and Real academies. Barca make footballers only for their style Real make footballers for all terrains.

Good point and to be fair, that's exactly what's been happening for the last several years with the Chelsea academy.

The lower leagues are full of Cobham graduates. And more recently they're all over the place in the Premier League too. I'm sure there was a game week earlier in the season where every single Premier League game featured a player who had spent time in the Chelsea academy.

Just last week, a former player now playing in League 1 said the following: "Chelsea was the Oxford or Cambridge of football. I'm pleased to have gone through that."

I don't care about the rankings on that insta page because it's clear Chelsea's academy right now and for the last 10 years is better than most of those mentioned and that's all that matters moving forward. What have you done for me lately, show me the results

Absolutely insane what people can be fooled into buying.

I can't stand start and stop football. Every play ends in a foul. Doesn't help that Egypt and Cameroon can't string 5-6 passes together.
