stupid excuse to the poor form of England...

if u are good enuf then u got promoted and play for the first team, else u continue to fight for the place...its just as simple as that....

without competition, players form will only get worse instead of improving.........

England players and youngsters should instead step up to the challenge instead of whining for a place......this just shows how hardworking foreign players are and how lazy bum those Englishmen are......

i have a feeling that if england didn't manage to qualify for the EURO 2008 championships, the quota will surely be implemented for the next season.

i remembered a quote from a blogger i think..

"thats why Arsene Wenger put trust on African players where they pray to Allah and play the game instead of the hard partying english man."

p/s:quote maybe different..just remember certain part of it..

they are going to limit number of foreign players...
but maybe they might twist and say tat there must be at least 6 or 7 english qualified players in a team...

It's easy to blame the number of foreigners for England's plight now. But the fact is England have always failed to live up to their hyped up expectations (with the exception of '66 of course). Even way before the influx of foreigners into the English league.

Some quarters have been blaming Wenger which i think is pretty daft. Hasn't it crossed anyone's mind that maybe it isn't that he doesn't favour English talent but more of the fact that most English players aren't good enough technically.

The problem as many ppl have said lies at grassroot levels. Kids are being forced into fixed positions at a young age and all are trained in a rigid 4-4-2 system. They take the enjoyment out of the game by not encouraging them to express themselves technically. Instead priority is given to those that can run nonstop for 90 mins.
