English???

I have mentioned this before on here,today's game between Chelsea and arsenal the lack of Englishmen in my opinion is not good for the game at international level and it's happening up here in Scotland also the amount of foreign players,personally I think that there should be a limit to the amount of foreign players.

Been discussed many times Jordy,a lot of it is mainly due the big money involved for a successful team.I think it was in the talk before the last England game one of the pundits mentioned that ⅔ of the players in the premiereship were foreigners.What chance has English or indeed anyhome grown talent from any UK countries got when they can't compete at the top level?

I have no interest in football at all, but it seems to me that a return to the days of proper, birthright, teams would be sensible. I am old enough to remember that when I was pregnant I made absolutely sure that I was in Yorkshire for the births (in case they were any good at cricket).

If you 'buy in' players you push out local talent. Q.E.D. with our national team.

Owners want to make money, managers want to keep jobs.
Should be a cap on non-British players to allow for the progress of English,
Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish players.
Talking of squads, not teams.

and it is happening in the championship too.
