You make some good points. And a couple that i totally disaggree with.

Quote:

I blame the number of foreign players in the top teams - how many English players are there in the Arsenal team? Is it 1?



Im an Arsenal supporter so you know im going to disagree with that one. Fact remains, if the English boys were good enough they would get in to the top teams. They arn't so they dont.

Spain used to be the non-achievers of the football world - at the moment it is England.



Nah, sorry. I believe that England have been the worlds underachievers sine 1974. 1990 being the only blip when they made it to the semifinal in Italy. But, it must also be said that that was the most defensive World Cup in history and England made it through by the skin of their teeth and penalty shoot outs.

Beckham, give me a break. The boys a has been. Thats why non of the European clubs want him, and hes playing in a 2nd rate MLS team. And as for the goalkeepers, bloody heII what went worng there. We have had a history of would class keepers, Banks, Clemance, Shilton, Seaman, and what do we have now. Robinson and James. Bugger me, i would be better, and im crap in goal.

Yesterday was a typical England performance. Long balls, bad passes, and hit and hope shots from 25 yards.

Roll on saturday, lets see how the real players do it. Come on Arsenal
