EPL teams will no longer take the knee for every game and instead will limit it to the end of season games and the FA Cup.

The #barclays solved racism. What a sensational competition.

Black lives sometimes matter.

Fab Romano : Brighton end talks with City over Cucurella.

Brighton : no we haven't.

Fab Romano : Cucurella will be Chelsea player within 48hrs.

Brighton : We haven't spoke with, or accepted any offer from Chelsea or anyone.

Less than 24hrs later :

Cucurella is in London, signing for Chelsea.

Never doubt Fabrizio Romano.

#Barclays is an emotion


From the long-gone rattle to instant replays on smart phones, football fans have long marched happily in step with the technological upgrades that enhance their match-day experiences but now comes a gadget that offers to measure their emotional response through the humble supporters’ scarf.


Select Manchester City fans will be offered a “smart scarf” next season, the latest in wearable technology that sees a biometric sensor integrated into the fabric to monitor emotional, physiological and movement data. Using an EmotiBit bio sensor that sits discreetly on the neck, The Connected Scarf, as it has been snappily dubbed, captures the body’s bio-signals throughout a match.


It also records a range of physiological measures, including heart rate, body temperature and emotional responses, offering information on how fans feel at different moments.


“In our work with City over the past few years, we’ve continuously looked for ways to connect fans to the sport they love, on another level,” said Ashley Marusak, the Global Sports Marketing Manager for Cisco, which helped develop the product.


“The Connected Scarf is an exciting project for us to pilot together, as we seek to better understand and measure the ups and downs of football fandom and how the game impacts supporters not only emotionally, but physically as well.”


Ryan Shaw, a director of Octagon UK, which partnered with Cisco in the project, said The Connected Scarf would help them understand the physiological emotions fans go through. “Creating this technology from scratch has been an incredible journey, and we’re incredibly excited about how much this scarf can teach us about fans and club culture,” he said.


Production and technology agency Unit9 also helped spearhead the initiative.


The scarf will not be readily available to all fans yet as only a select number will be distributed to supporters of City and also those of their sister club New York City FC in the United States. “It’s a brilliant idea and gives us more of a special connection with the fans,” City defender Aymeric Laporte said in a statement.

A club spending more than £50m on a left back while they already have 3 left backs in their squad is peak Barclays.
There's chat he could play at LCB, but you're talking about the club who spent a gazillion quid on forwards within a couple of years (all but one of whom have failed to impress) so they don't really deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Smart scarves are undoubtedly pure Barclays.

They are also an absolute minter.

Hope the City version has 2 way comms so it can keep their fans abreast of what's happening from 70 mins onwards as they head to the car.

Benteke off to MLS. 

Looking forward to tonight's match. Not an easy venue for the Arsenal. Could be  a cracker to kick off the Barclays.

I'll go Crystal Palace 1 Arsenal 2.

From a very cursory glance at each team's signings and squad list, it seems like a bunch are going into the season underprepared. Could well be one of those "least bad" seasons for a bunch of different outcomes (Liverpool for the league imo). Palace and Arsenal are two of the most interesting teams, though, so hopefully a good game tonight.
