English Football


Recommended Posts

Great result for Chelsea tonight.

Can anyone confirm if English football has imploded yet? Be very specific.

We independent yet by the way? Remember the seething cybernats  years and years ago saying it was a done deal.

Cheers all

3 teams out of 4 in the European finals and about 5 Englishmen in all 3 squads.  It's coming home IMO.

4 English started for City and Utd and 3 for Chelsea so 11 started in total, this is at the highest level of club football. They also had another 7 on the bench. I heard on the radio or a podcast recently that the amount of young English footballers in the premier league is at the highest level in about 20yrs.

This is generally the case around all the top sides in Europe, if you look at Bayern, Juve, Real etc. they are all filled with foreigners, very rarely do any of these sides have more than 3-4 homegrown players in their first 11 and these are clubs from the best footballing nations in the world.

Our best side Rangers have 1 Scottish starter in their first 11 and he's a 39yr old keeper.  Despite being at a lower level (which should make it easier) we are actually faring worse.
