    After all this banter and abuse going on between fans north and south of the boarder its got me wondering who is the best Scot playing in the EPL and how many would get in the English squad were they able to ?

    Even Fletcher would struggle greatly to get in the England team.

    Is fletcher actually any good or is he just flattered by the standard of united's other options?

    We don't have any world class players but if we're talking about just in the EPL then Darren Fletcher, Charlie Adam and maybe even Steven Fletcher are about the best we have. There's a few others who are doing well for themselves like Alan Hutton, Barry Bannan, Christophe Berra and some others

    Charlie Adam


    Darren Fletcher and Steven Fletcher are decent and Alan Hutton used to be.

    Might I add a few older names that graced the premier league (or top division) and possibly would have made the England squad in their time....

    Gordon Strachan
    Gary McCallister
    Kenny Dalglish

    You kind of have to remember they are a small country with a low world ranking even if they are Englands head warmer.

    On current form, it surely has to be Steven Fletcher?

    Charlie adam is so incredibly overated he shone in an poor blackpool side because he did not have to defend at all, and all he does is look for the hollywood crossfield ball everytime, he makes these balls 3 maybe 4 times out of ten,it's all about him. He's done nothing in a liverpool shirt, sorry i just hate the hype he gets.

    Darren fletcher would get a look in as would steven fletcher on his current form well he should do but wouldn't because he's not a big name.

    Dorrans is a good player and young - room for development
    Fletcher (Man U)is a good player and better than, say Barry, in my opinion.- He could make it into an England squad (not 1st 11)
    Fletcher (Wolves) is a good player and I think he could do a job at a bigger team with better/more service.
    Adam is a good player - he could make it into an England squad (not 1st 11)
    Berra at Wolves - solid CB.
    Barry Bannan - plenty of potential.
    Goodwillie - young, has potential.
    Wee guy (Allan) just signed for WBA from Dundee United. Loads of potential.
    Again, Rhodes MAY make the step up to Championship soon and maybe even EPL (lower half).
    McArthur at Wigan - loads of potential.
    Two players in the Chamionship could make the step up to the EPL (lower half) - Snodgrass and McCormack. Again, young with potential.
    Craig Gordon - when fit - best keeper in the EPL.

    Worse in the EPL: Gary Caldwell <doh> He's ****e!
