i love england, but its time to be honest.

all these foreigners in the premiership..while it boosts the global appeal of the game, its killing our national team.

no wonder we're slipping down the rankings

No, we are slipping down the ranking because of a lot of things. Including our coaching.

Before you point the finger consider this, football is not the only sport in which this country is suffering.

What about Tennis, Athletics, Cricket. Or are the foreigners to blame in these sports as well?

In this country we are becoming less competitive and it's not just in sports.

My question is, why don't bigots ever think?

Spot on. Perhaps we should boycott athletics events which include the Africans in the middle distances or Americans in the sprints?
If English players are not proving themselves in the EPL, or any other major league in Europe, then they are not good enough and the national team will be stone dead for years to come. However, I would like to see more English players in action, although that has nothing to do with raising the quality of the local talent.

One other point. In order to see more English players per team, why not increase the number of substitutes per game.

In the prem at the moment we are only allowed 5. Now if they increased this number to 7 or 8 on the proviso that the extra places are filled by 'homegrown' players.

Ever since Rooney's injury all we've read about is the fact that he will miss England's Euro 2008 qualifiers. Have the majority of the media forgotten that Rooney actually plays for a club as well? He will be a huge loss to United (in case everyone forgot, they're the ones who pay his wages).

i agree but all the hype ova rooney is nessecary
as the all new attachk that manchester united have brought up in the summer transfer market is cover and without Roonye u wud still have a mazin atack
nani, giggs, anderson, ronaldo, saha, tezex, solskjaer can all play upfront if nessercay (some of them best position) so they nuthin to worry bout especially with Rooneys current form!!

Who cares about United? This is an international issue we are discussing in this thread. If you want to go and moan about United's loass, do it in their forums.

Denchanter: 'My question is, why don't bigots ever think?'

oh please, you don't speak for me. I am no bigot. And I can think, thank you very much. My point is, with all the foreigners joining the league and getting first team places, itll hinder opportunities for existing and up-and-coming English players. By the time national games come around, we don't have much to choose apart from selecting the big names over and over again - case in point, Beckham, who has hardly kicked a ball, gets recalled in the England team.
My question is, why don't stupid people ever think?
