Just looked it up. Azpilicueta won 10 tackles today, 7 more than any other player.

A draw on the road this late in the campaign is a win.

So we need 6 points over the next 5 matches to take the crown?

6 pts over the next 5 would guarantee it. It's possible to take less than 6 and still come out on top.

Ideally though, we win the next 2 and then celebrate.

Oh that's where Hazard was. I was wondering why I never saw him on the ball all game today.

Think Hazard was the best player but didn't really have much competition as there wasn't a Suarez or Bale on another level type player this season.

Maybe Costa? But he wasn't on the ball much today either.

Great to see the youth doing so well. I really wish the FA would allow us field a B team like Real Madrid and Barca get to do in Spain. It would be great for the players and do wonders for the England National Team.

The FA needing to do something (with anything ) is huge understatement.

The FA is a joke and people wonder why England does so piss poor against countries with a fraction of their resources. Literally no one does less with more than England and the FA is to blame. It's like they've tried nothing and they're all out of ideas.

None of the summer pre season matches are even remotely close to Texas.

1) What work (i.e. benefits) are the Spanish B teams doing that the Development Leagues are not currently doing in England?

2) What work (i.e. benefits) are the Spanish B teams doing that the English Reserve League was not doing before it went away?

I'm not saying there aren't benefits, but I'm just curious to see what you think they are.

I just ask because because other countries, such as The Netherlands, have been disproportionately successful in the past with systems that are substantially similar to what England has now and/or has had in the past.

This article is a bit dated, but it sums up my thouhts pretty well.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-feeder-clubs-spains-2288091

The Netherlands has always been great at player dvelopment, but the Eredivisie is night and day different than the EPL. Top EPL clubs are packed with high priced foreign talent with massive expectations to win in Europe. The Erediviesie is basically a youth setup where successful players graduate on to the better leagues. The Dutch model is better suited to someplace like the U.S. or Scotland than England.

Whether you agree with "B" sides or not, the current system clearing isn't working. What ideas would you propose to develop world class footballers in England?

Really good point about EPL vs Erediviesie.

I also wonder if stricter foreign players rules will actual stunt England's youth development because top clubs will work harder to sign young top talents like Odegaard to bring up through their youth system and count towards their "homegrown" player count.

John Terry has now scored more goals than any defender in EPL history (38).
