English Football?.

[Jordyboy9]

It’s football played in England with a majority of foreign players
This is something that has to be rectified,
Okay it will win leagues win cups
What about the international games can’t play the foreign players
The final tonight was diabolical and that was with a majority of foreign players,home grown players where are they?

[-Talbot-]

Nevermind, I'm sure a Scottish team will win the Scottish cup next year.

[Jordyboy9]

Celtic will probably do it again Talbot spending millions on foreign players,I remember the days when Liverpool had an abundance of Scottish players.

[Arksided]

In the Europa cup final, I do believe they were an Englishman... between Chelsea and Arsenal (Doesn't Surprise me) as for tonight's Champs league they were many Englishmen out there fielded.

I don't think it was by any means a good representation of English football after all we did make it to the semi-finals last years world cup.

But I do understand your point about bringing youngsters up through the ranks of their respective clubs...

[clyde59]

Yes agree not the best of finals by both teams, but at the end of the day Liverpool won

[Arksided]

Big smile for you Clyde... I posted a similar thing to a friend on FB whom I've known for over 35 years (L'pool fan) but already taking the chance to *** of Man United... wow! 'enjoy your evening' knowing how good it feels but like I'd gate crashed a party.

Who on earth is bothered about football at the moment?

It's the cricket season for heaven's sake!

Ignore the nationalities of football players and settle back to watch the England ODI cricket team, with it's Irish captain (Morgan), South African opening batsman (Roy), South African and Barbadian fast bowlers (Curran and Archer) and New Zealand all-rounder (Stokes).

How much more 'English' can you get?

;-)

[tonyav]

Not much more than that, Chris.
( mobile nationalities, love it ).

[Arksided]

I have become a bit of an insomniac Chris.. do you have a link.

Curran probably gets in because he's got an English brother...

[Arksided]

Thank you jno.

[Arksided]
