It is just a nostalgic factor. Football is 100 times better in current times than it was back then. Most barclays era cult heros would struggle to get in southampton.
@@kk7324 that's just absolutely and complete nonsense. Unfounded bs. Propaganda to make fans believe they are currently watching the best thing. It's funny because until very very recently the two best players in the world were in their mid to late 30's. Players from that era to which you put down. The talent today is so low that there was no one to come close to knocking them off their perch. Yes they are particularly great. But this era is a lower level. There's no one around today who is as good as the likes of R9, Zidane, Maldini, Ronoldinho. The level has dropped. Only cookie cutter standard players around today. A bit of ability and pace and you're world class today 😂
@@spresso007 great argument. The vast majority of players today are literally coached to death to have no individual flare, and to take zero risks. It's all about systems. The players just fulfill their roles. Their individual talent is borderline, if not flat out discouraged. That's from grass roots upwards. There's not one player in today's game that can compare with the likes of Zidane and R9 and R10, and a whole list of others around their time, for talent, skill, daring and individual brilliance. Magic moments. The talent level has dropped significantly. There were 10 plus world class players in every position in previous eras. It's slim pickings these days. Outside of Madrid and City, there are hardly any world class players in the rest of Europe. In previous eras, despite the galacticos, there were multiple stacked teams, top to bottom, full of great and world class players. And, heck even at Madrid, Modric at 39 is still the best midfielder. He would have been dropped or sold years ago and replaced with another top midfielder if this was in previous eras. But they still need him, even at 39. The vast majority of players around today would just be another player back in the day. And many of the "stand outs" from today would be one of many world class players in previous eras. None of the current United players, Chelsea players, AC Milan players, Inter Milan players, Juventus players or Barcelona would get in their teams from the previous eras. And only a handful of Arsenal and Bayern Munich players would get in to their old teams. Madrid would swap it's current squad for a young R7 era team in a heartbeat. Only City, PSG and Liverpool have better players now, than then. And even some of Liverpool players from back then would get in to their current team. City and PSG are fairly unique cases because before they were owned by oil money they had terrible players, but even if we go back to the early days of their take overs, some of those players would get in to the teams today. Especially at PSG. The spread of top level footballers is awful today, borderline a monopoly, and there's less of them overall anyway. The standard of coaching effective systems has improved across the board, sure. But that is. What's hilarious though, is that the manager who gives his team the most freedom to play in the old school manor, Carlo, still gets the best results in the UCL.

The iconic Chelsea teams around Cech, terry, lampard and drogba. Feels like they built teams around them for my whole childhood, whenever I looked at Chelsea, they managed to put a bunch of fun players around them
@@chrisstucker1813 yes this wasn’t the 90s or before Strikers at a top level team need to do more and have all round game & create chances for others etc He was ok as a back up to bring on to score … Halland is just finisher but he is a physical specimen & his goal ratio is elite …
@@reddevil6585 mate he was signed for £8m as backup at a time when berbatov was first choice striker. Chicharito averaged a goal every 2.5 games which isn’t terrible for a first choice striker, never mind back up. Have a little perspective, any other team in the league would’ve snagged him up for that price tag
Sunderland around 2010. Asamoah Gyan, Darren Bent, Welbeck, Kenwyne Jones, Stéphane Sessègnon in attack. Cattermole, Jordan Henderson and David Meyler clattering fools in midfield. Perhaps the funniest CB partnership ever of Titus Bramble and Anton Ferdinand! Prime Mignolet in goal. Man I despise Sunderland but they were so fun back then. Proper Barclays.
Even Newcastle had a hell of a team back then... Ferguson's Manchestes, Begner's Arsenal, Gianfranco Zola's Chelsea... what a time... from 1999 to 2006 I fallowed the league religiously.
When it comes to chelsea people always talk about cech,drogba,lampard and terry. They forgot how malouda saved the team in clutch moments many times. Also shoutout to invanovic too. This man always scored when needed.
I also think as well the new generation of players are brought up to be athletes and good at following tactics and understanding the game, where academies 20 years ago would have focused mostly on footballing ability and technique first, that’s why you had loads of teams in the bottom half of the table who’d just pull random ballers out of now where
Crouch. I simply cant imagine modern PL teams with a 2m weird dude up front. Other players: Adebayor, the fella who randomly got to Real Madrid just to wear #6 and declined like crazy (and pulled that celebration after scoring against Arsenal). Fellaini, basically Crouch in the midfield and both had some glimpses of Genius. Tim Cahill, the Australian kangaroo. Asamoah Gyan, striker who were #3 and misses the penalty against Uruguay. Altidore, another US and A name who is not even 35 yet but feels like forever. Afonso Alves, the guy who had one good season out of nowhere, joined the PL and played for Brazil, then disappeared. Coloccini, David Luiz before David Luiz. Bendtner, Antony of the Barclays era. Rafael and Fabio, the fullback twins, plus, Anderson, the guy who arrived the same day as Cristiano Ronaldo and was hyped to be just as good if not better. As you said, nostalgia. This was the era that I spent the most time watching and playing games. I would sit back and watch some Stoke City vs Hull City matches and love it, now I can barely watch full UCL games...
I think people miss the uniqueness and diversity in players and teams more than being nostalgic about Barclays era. Rooney could score a 40 yarder or headbutt a ref, you'd never know until you tuned into the game, JJ Okocha could terrorize a defense with his 'megs or Delap dishing out the most lethal throw-in assist in the 90th min. From pretty United footy to gritty Charlton ball, from pristine Highbury to dirty Stoke, from last day title deciders to 6 pointer relegation dogfights, there was something for everyone to enjoy(or hate). Stoke vs Wigan was ass 9/10 times but the one time it wasn't it used to be a proper blockbuster. Current PL does not have this. Bottom 3 teams are usually decided by GW 6 and you don't see unique or good players in them, top teams hoard all the talent and top 4/6 positions are usually decided between the same 6 teams(Villa have been exception in recent times). Matches between top teams like City and Arsenal are praised for being "chess" matches and not football matches but in reality they are just plain boring. No new or innovative tactics from managers, everyone wants to play out from the back, every top player is a one trick pony more or less, and teams have become more robotic. Football quality has gone up for sure, but that's largely due to modern players being better athletes than footballers.
And yet there’s more goals 🤔 Maybe it’s just the way you’re looking at it and the fact that it’s not what you grew up watching, doesn’t make it worse though.
although he came in a bit later, david silva really is special for me. that city side with dzeko and a younger aguero really was something else. even with a midfield of yaya toure and fernandinho, david silva stood out. El mago
More than players, I remember the wild card coaches you won’t find in the premier league today: Kenny Dalglish, Neil Warnock, Tony Pulis, Sam Allardyce, Roy Keane, Alan Pardew, David Moyes, Harry Redknapp, and of course the irreplaceable Jose Mourinho … absolute characters. They don’t make them like they used to.
david wheater! absolute mad lad. got an england call up and was using the shower gel his mum put in his bag. he was unironically using david beckham's branded stuff, showering right next to him lol
A huge difference about this time period vs now that I don't ever see people talk about is the fact that during the early 2000s/2010s era there was a lot of standing infront of the attacker without really reaching for the ball which left a bunch of passing tactics easier to do. Vs today people generally go all out for the ball making it harder for the attacker to do their job hence less beautiful plays. So the flow of the game has changed.
The nostalgia is real!! just for the record with arshavin against liverpool, he didn't go 1 against 11 haha the game was 4-4, he did score 4 goals but he was far from on top, one of the last games i went to at anfield - pretty much every arsenal fan forgets the actual score this night - brilliant game though.....bad boy player too
I think another thing is that teams with not a lot of money could actually do well enough (obviously it's always going up in costs and the era before this you had more opportunity, as with the era before that etc). You could spend under 10 million and get a world class player, or a few decent ones a difference between relegation and mid table. Most teams are spending more than that in the championship just to survive.
Remember watching the by sports version of motd every week and then the season review. And the top goals of the season and the blooper the whole compilation
You should do a part 2, there’s loads you missed out. - Gillette soccer Saturday with Kammy, Merse, Hansen, Le Tissier, Geoff Stelling. - Pulis having back 4’s of 6’4+ Centre half’s for stoke and West Brom. - the front flip celebration by Nani, Obafemi Martins and Kenwyne Jones. - commentary by Martin Tyler and Alan Smith, Riise, Ji Dong Won, Aguero come to mind. - Harry Redknapp hanging out of his car and Odemwingie on deadline day. ( and the dildo in the ear) - Gerrards slip
There was a show called “Gillette’s Soccer Saturday? So please tell me why the English get so butthurt when someone, especially an American calls the sport “Soccer”
the season before the Wigan FA Cup was one of my favorite moments. Wigan went 9 games with 7 wins 2 draws(I think, can’t remember) to stay up and not get relegated Also chocharito was class during barclays
Abdel taarabt is peak Barclays, ik they were a bit late stage but bolasie and payet were pure Barclays. That villa player John Duran is reminiscent of prime barclays and although this may be a rogue shout, Garnacho would’ve suited the barclays era perfectly
I knew there was Barclays in Premier League, but i didnt know it was this good... Im sad i didnt watch football around this time from how you describe it
The funniest part is a few people have spoken about those players that come play with them on off days from the academy and they can’t ball because all they do is play a specific position and are trained to play in a zone. But the artist will eventually return and the tactics will eventually be useless
The child gets to his passive-aggressive point of his little video: “This era was not as good when it comes to footballing ability”. The best 11 players of “this era” would wipe the floor with this current generation. One of many teams of “this era”: Henry Shearer Rooney Scholes Keane Gerrard Cole Terry Rio Neville
Even though I was born in 2010, being 4 years old was one of the peak moments of my life by watching players like Dempsey (my American brother), Gerrard, Suarez, Drogba, Kompany, Aguero, and Silva light up the league for weeks on end. Elano was a little bit before my time but I’ve heard stories about him. Edit: How could I forget about my brotha Babababalotelli!
It was when the EPL could attract top talent. Teams were technical and tactical, but before it became over systemized. There was more variety in styles, and individual brilliance was freer to express themselves. Before teams stop shooting from outside the box.

Let's not forget Wilfred Bony at Swansea, man's was an absolute baller

Jorking my shii to jib as usual ❤❤
The child gets to his passive-aggressive point of his little video: “This era was not as good when it comes to footballing ability”.
The best 11 players of “this era” would wipe the floor with this current generation.
One of many teams of “this era”:
Henry Shearer Rooney
Scholes Keane Gerrard
Cole Terry Rio Neville
Trossard reminds me of Arshavin. Good times
I bet you we will look back so fondly on Trossard 10 years from now
@@waveplay3978 of course he does his job really well
Even though I was born in 2010, being 4 years old was one of the peak moments of my life by watching players like Dempsey (my American brother), Gerrard, Suarez, Drogba, Kompany, Aguero, and Silva light up the league for weeks on end. Elano was a little bit before my time but I’ve heard stories about him.
Edit: How could I forget about my brotha Babababalotelli!
When i was 4 years old i watched prime cbeebies and shat myself in a preschool
@ i also forgot to mention about how much I fucking loved Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures
Smashed a glass celebrating that Arshavin goal when I accidentally threw it in the air
My new favourite content creator istg🙏💯💯💯
It was when the EPL could attract top talent. Teams were technical and tactical, but before it became over systemized. There was more variety in styles, and individual brilliance was freer to express themselves. Before teams stop shooting from outside the box.
Barclays Premier League>>The Premier League
Barclays Premier League IS the Premier League
2013-2017= Worst Premier League years in history.
Moussa Dembele - what a baller!
Some of these players are streets won’t forget players, different to Barclays men
Yaya Touré was a monster in that era
Keep up the good work bro !!👍👍
Sadly I'm a young head, didn't get to see this era lol
Nostalgia hurts :(
Fun fact: Rory Delap had a towel sewed to the inside of his shirt and no towels pitch side for the opposition
Barclays premier league years on sky sports was an Amazon show reviewing the season and the teams class programme
Elano wasn’t signed for City by the Abu Dhabi group. It was under the previous Manchester City owners (Thaksin Shinawatra).
For stoke Matthew Etherington, Ryan Shawcross and Ricardo Fuller can also be credited.
gotta remember salamon kalou
Bro forgot Adel Taraabt and Jay Jay Okocha
*Mikel, Van Persie, Nasri, Nani, were some good players to 😢* . Miss old football
That pic of Arshavin with Lord Bendtner goes unnecessarily hard
Ivan Campo! Infact the whole bolton team of that time with okocha, stelios et al.
Football is just like fashion. Clubs experience major success for many years, followed by many years of failure. It's a cycle.
Alan pardew's newcastle was sooo fun to watch
