    3 English players in the Arsenal vs Liverpool starting line ups. Pretty poor ratio IMO. where are the English players Trevor Brooking/Gareth Southgate/FA hierarchy?

    You know as well as me Madrid the UK doesn't produce them and if they do then we eat them alive
    I doubt if any English player would make a world eleven

    13.6% is probably average for Arsenal over the past few seasons, they've plenty of young English players who would walk into most PL teams but Arsene does like his foreigners...

    We should have a financial fair play rule for every game in which over 5 players in the starting line up are bleeding foreigners

    And to think of the great Arsenal sides of the 80's and 90's full of English talent! Oooh the irony!

    Christ this daft country has you still of 1966 with the spirit of 1066
    The only reason we have the premier league in this country is because of money you daft sods
    We don't owe football it owns you

    Well that's a different question, why can't we produce any the quality of players that similar sized leagues can - given how much money the clubs and the FA has? The facilities are there.

    Unlike tennis, people actually play football in the UK.

    Oddball is spot on. British football is miles behind everywhere else. The reason there's so many foreigners is because our players ain't good enough, its as simple as that. Sure put a cap on them, do whatever it takes but lets not pretend that native players are up to the job cos they ain't. The national sides prove that time and again.

    I'm not attacking you or any other thread this is a shared entertainment
    The question is why are overseas players more successful in the worlds richest league ? Because percentage wise they are better and complete idiots still think football is English
    It echos exactly what is wrong and Colin sunshine you are completely lost in it . The fact that you cannot simply address the fact you have to admit that at times you get it wrong

    You do not own England and your attitude

    His attitude is confrontational. Transfer that to the national stage & conflict is the result

    I love it when the old lags lock horns. It's like tyrannosaurus v triceratops v stegosaurus. All extinct now of course. I'll be diplodocus.

    Football is fooked. It's part of the reason why I won't even switch it over to a game consisting of top premier teams. I'd rather watch a League 2 game, honestly.
