SORRY - What was that cup these two teams played in again?

Yet some of us are hear thinking, oh yeh England have a great football team, but what happens in say 10 years time when our ENGLISH game is played by all these forgein players (Accept TWO)....

TWO English players in what......28 players playing tonight....Its a disgrace....What ever happened to the rule about only being allowed something like Five Forgein players in your SQUAD....

Bring it back and for once and for all Sort this mess out....

P.S I have nothing against these players....some of them are awesome however with so many of them it is destroying what England could have....

[striker990]

Damn right! Its no wonder that England have a shite national team

[Up-The-Bulls]

Exactly my point mate.....We put so much pressure on our national team, but to be honest we should be also putting some of the blame onto there clubs....

People wonder why we took Theo Walcott to thw World Cup, ok Defoe would have been the other option, however had Theo Walcott hit the seen when you were only allowed 5 forgein players, he would have been one of the first names on a team sheet....

[striker990]

I know, it happens in other leagues, I'd like summat l,ike 5 foreign players per team with a max of 3 in a match day squad

[Up-The-Bulls]

Thats how it used to be mate, and how much better was the ENGLISH Premiership then hey? No diving people had to play well.....And with the same teams now....Would you see such teams as Sheffield United struggling? I don't think so....

[striker990]

Nope, it would the "big 4" who have very few english players in their teams

[Up-The-Bulls]

Yeh but if they had to get rid of all the Forgein players.....right....And buy English players....There would be no such thing as "The Big 4"

[striker990]

Accorrding to Premier league album
Arsenal - 2 Hoyte and Walcott
Chelski - 5! Cole, Bridge, Lampard, Cole and Wright Phillips
Liverpool - 5 - Warnock, Gerrard, Pennant, Fowler and Crouch
Man Utd - 7 - Neville, Ferdinand, Brown, Carrick, Scholes, Rooney and Smith
Not as bad as I thought

[Up-The-Bulls]

Yeh but they have Squads of flaming 40 players some of them.....

I mean to have Five English players is a Disgrace....Its the fucking English Premiership....

How many do Reading and Sheffield United have?

[striker990]

Sheff Utd - 12
Reading - 7
Us - 9
Blackburn - 3!!

[Up-The-Bulls]

Blackburn, disgrace....

[striker990]

Yep, worst in the league. The best are Watford with 13. See what sticker collecting does for your knowledge

[Up-The-Bulls]

Lol....

[robwsbfc]

Ahh sticker collecting, love it, nearly finished the world cup 1 in the summer

Also, am i the only 1 who thinks Adebayor's 2nd was offside today, as Baptista played it to him and Jaaskelainen was the only player back, or is he onside because he came from behind the ball :S

[striker990]

he came from behind the ball so he was alreet
