Mistake at 0:52, meant to say OG fan no go fan 😂 Leave a like if you enjoyed and let me know what you want next! Not my usual topic but since PSG and Bayern were crowned league champs recently and all the buzz on twitter about “farmers leagues” I wanted to talk about it. Love you all ❤️

I own a moderate sized farm in southern France that operates in the summer months and I can confirm during our off season most of my employees go off to play in Ligue 1

No top 5 league is a farmers league, but without Premier League fans the term wouldn't even exist. When Bayern lost to 2nd place Liverpool or Atletico/Real to 4th place Chelsea they were everywhere calling those leagues farmers leagues, but when 7th placed Lyon beat City it of course didn't apply to them.

love it how more consistent you've become with the vids. Keep it up

[Slim-Clips]

The reality is that none of the top leagues are “farmers leagues”, they’re called top leagues for a reason.

Everyone was clowning on Bayern when they lost to villareal, but i don't see anyone mentioning west ham being defeated by frankfurt

[UltimateKaarnage]

You could've included the Portuguese Primera Liga in there as well to compare it with Ligue 1. At the moment they're having quite a competition for the 5th and 6th spot.

EPL is just over hyped by media. That's it. Every league and country has their own style of play and the premier league's style is more dynamic and fast paced which is entertaining to watch, but that doesn't mean it's dominant.
For example, Real Madrid and Barca has been dominating the Europe for over a decade. Only now Liverpool and man city has started that kind of rivalry and dominance, but people are already over hyping it now, because the social media was not as powerful and as influential 10 years back.

Prime serie a was a joy to watch when even fierentina and Roma used to compete

[derroboterdelfin]

from someone who follows the bundesliga rather closely:
I absolutely hate how much bayern dominates it. But this is not only because Bayern are better then everyone else, its also the fault of the other teams, mainly dortmund.
Say what you will about bayern but they have a winning mentality, the want to win EVERYTHING, if they dont win Bundesliga the season is a disaster.
You will never see Dortmund sayiing at the beginning of the season that they want to win this year.
And thats the problem.

FYI "Farmers league" is more of a term associated with a club/team that is stacked on talent, in comparison to the rest of teams in the same league.
It's more of a shot at the individual deciding to join said team + subsequent league

For a bit over a decade, spain top 3 team is just so dominant in europe

"Farmer's League". It's one of those insulting terms that is used a lot by obnoxious fans of the EPL, that really highlights their bias, even the commentators promote these thoughts, I'm looking at you Mcmanaman. It's the same sentiment behind past statements like

La-liga is just an easy league that is not competitive (2 horse race), counter to that, that's what the EPL is now

Guardiola wins because of Messi, because of Barca, anyone can do that, couldn't play that kind of football in the EPL, counter to that, Pep gets 100 points in the EPL, if he wins this year, he would have won 4 in 5, only manager to do the English clean sweep

Klopp hasn't won anything important (despite have 2 Meisterschale), can't do it in the EPL, counter to that, any EPL side would take him now with what he has done, is pretty much the most liked manager in the EPL

Messi couldn't do it in a cold night at Stoke, Messi couldn't perform in the EPL, EPL would be too physical for Messi, counter to that, David Silva considered one of the best ever EPL midfielders, great but not as good as Messi, he'll tell you that himself, not as strong and physical as Messi, Mata had a field day with Chelsea, Zola, Crouch none are physical players, then there is Messi's record against the best EPL teams, only 5 players have scored more against them than him, and he's never played in the league.

Any player/manager that achieves success anywhere else, there is the arrogance from EPL fans that they somehow need to do it in the EPL to prove themselves to the fans like that makes any sense. They don't remember players like Eden Hazard, that tore the EPL apart year after year, being without a doubt the best in the EPL, but for whatever reason could not do it in the La-Liga. If it had been the other way around, EPL fans would never shut up about it.

In my Opinion there's NO such thing as FARMERS LEAGUE!
Manchester United won 7 of the first 10 premier League seasons
Barcelona Also won 7/10 la Liga last decade
Between 2007 to 2013 there were SIX different french league champions
The club with most top flight title is a joint record of 10 despite the fact that the French league commenced in the 1890s
Juventus absolutely dominated the serie A 9 wins in a row including 2 outstanding going unbeaten then ranking up 102 points the next season
BFC dynamo and also Dynamo Dresden once dominated the Bundesliga the way Bayern is right now!!

Some leagues have a culture of clubs dominating it for a period not because of "lack of competitiveness" as it is branded ..
City wins the league this season that's 4 of the last 5 are the the farmers then ?And do you see city stopping soon?

I was watching Marsellie vs Lyon today and it was a really entertaining game. Big road win upset for Lyon! I say this because Ligue 1 games have been worth watching. It's still a good league. But as a PSG fan, they need some better competition to join them on the international stage.

[quidian]

i thought it was called farmers' league because the teams were farming players for the PL teams. The french ligue 1 gave them drogba, kante, henry, hazard, etc...

[danielashirov]

Historically speaking French league is not a farmers league. St Ettiene and PSG have 10 titles and Marseille have 9, Monaco and Nantes have 8, and Lyon has 7, then Reims and Bordeaux with 6. Meanwhile in the Bundesliga Bayern has 31 titles and the team with second most titles is Borussia with 5 which is less than all the French teams I mentioned. Rn Ligue 1 isn't as competitive but Bundesliga has always been run by Bayern not just the past 10 years

I like a little switchup in content style, every now and then, and this was a breath of fresh air. Not to say I dislike anything, because you know I love your work to death, Raymar ;) But it was cool to see you tackle such a broad topic - as apposed to your other videos.

Thanks for the video, Raymar! You never disappoint!

[Driganka]

Can we please have a "How good was George Best" or something of this sort. I football has so much been influenced by his style of play.
Pretty interesting life as well. Would love to know more. Pretty sure many people feel the same.

the thing with ligue 1 is that other than PSG it is very, very competetive with each team standing a chance to reach european cups, even now a few matches to the end we can't say for sure who will qualify, and before PSG's domination it was like 7 years 7 different champions? it was and to some extend still is the craziest league out of those 5
