what because i prefer proper english teams who arnt all off doing car ads and shaking their fingers when they score
 

Arsenal

To a degree I know where Loyalbee is comming from, today they featured one British player. The are not unique in thier approach of buying players from abroad but the do seem to take it to a new level at times. They have now used 99 players since the start of football history, sorry I mean the start of the Premiershit, I wonder what percentage have bee British?

lol What do you want them to do pick the ball up & place it on the center spot every time they score :rolleyes:
 

Arsenal

i meant i want a bit of passion or a look of genuine delight at scoring, the main reason i dont like them is because they release all there english younsters and at the moment rather than getting more in they seem content to bring a load of spaniards and frogs
lets see if your so cocky when the national team suffer because the english players have to sit on the bench or go out on loan or have to drop down the leagues due to spanish 16 yr olds with mullets, would rooney have been discovered at a club like arsenal or released and replaced by someone from abroad

They have the best players in the world in their team.

Liverpool had no more than 3 english players in there squad when they won the championship practically every year in the 70s & 80's.....

The Liverpool line-up that won the European Cup in '81 was:
Clemence
Neal
A.Kennedy
Thompson
R.Kennedy
Hansen
Dalglish ( Case )
Lee
Johnson
McDermott
Souness

Is that 5 then? :fishing: :D

For what it's worth, in my opinion there is a significant difference between the foreigners: Alan Hansen and Kolo Toure. As a child, Hansen more than likely could find Liverpool's ground on a map and probably knew a great deal about the traditions and culture long before he got there. I'm pretty sure that Lauren didn't grow up watching Match of the Day or rooting desperately for or against England. And I wouldn't expect Edu to stick around one day longer than his contract pays him for, while the '81 squad above probably all still have ties to Liverpool.

To say that there is no difference in terms of 'foreign players' between the two is (IMHO) a foolish argument.
 

Arsenal

Hey, Congratulations to Arsenal and long may it continue. I know I've said it before, but in a long long dry spell for the Capital City, Arsenal have been the only team to have held their own against Man Ure's domination.

Talking of that, I see that although it's early days, its great to see the that 4 of the top 6 clubs in the Premiership are London Clubs, or even, North and West London Clubs!! :)

Err, the National Team have been suffering (or at least the English Fan's have been) as they have been consistently underachieving, in a somewhat spectacular manner, since 1967, this latest go round, (Euro 2004) being another shining example. Foreigners or no Foreigners.

Let's face it, times move on. The English Premiership is no longer an "English" league and is more a "European" League, like the Spanish and Italian leagues, where you have to have the best players in Europe to contend, not just the best players in England. Like, Man Ure, Arsenal, and Chelski.

Just like Global Warming, we may not like it, but there's f**k all we can do about it. :wave:

Any neutral must admit they are great value and a pleasure to watch.

Fair play to Arsenal but let's move on eh?

The media coverage of Arsenal (records, Vieira move etc.) is constant and now unbelievably dull. Talksport milks things like this for weeks.

I really cannot stand the higher echelons of the premiership any more, it's so boring with loads of 'johnny come lately' fans.

They are a very good team, easily the best in the country at present and I think they will go on to set much bigger record. Okay, next subject.
 

Arsenal

It is a fair comment that there is not many English players, but times have changed in football and players are coming from Europe to play in England. I dont think it is a bad thing !!
Arsenal are a quality side !!! They are without Viera as well !!!

Arsenal 1-0 up

The argument wasn't the definition of "foreign" - the argument is how it's impacting the National team.

It doesn't matter if a Scottish born player spent all his life eating fish and chips, watching match of the day week in week out, or if an African born player spent his life kicking tins cans around the desert and never seen proper footy before in his life - the fact is both would be keeping an English player out of the team... they both have the same impact.

Arsenal are an unbelievable side, and a pleasure to watch. they score at will and you're always guaranteed to get a good game. The fact that it's full of foreigners makes no differences to me. It just means that the young English players need to step up a gear to get a look in. And some of them are getting their chance to do that.
 

Arsenal

Well congratulations to the Gooners, there's no doubt that it's a fantastic achievement and they are wonderful to watch.

But I don't think their achievement matches Forest's. The Premiership is woefully uncompetitive these days and Arsenal only play around six matches all season that they don't enter as overwhelming favourites, whereas when Forest did it, virtually the whole division were possible title winners. What's more, Forest won the European Cup twice. Which is exactly twice more than this Arsenal side have done.
 

Arsenal

I think the amount of foreigner they have is too many. But having said that the ones that come in have to equal or better other members of the team. Also Arsenal's forign legion don't just walk off, they have been at the club for a long time, more than many English players stay at a club. Viera has been at Arsenal 7 or 8 years now. That is why they have a good team spirit.

The English players Arsenal have are brilliant/outstanding prospects: Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, Jermaine Pennant and even young Bentley!
 

Arsenal

'Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has questioned the club's transfer policy. "I expected Robin's departure," Sagna, 29, told French newspaper L'Equipe. "But Alex, that was a surprise. He's 24 and had three years on his contract. "When you see your two best players from last season leave, you ask yourself questions."'

Not sure if he was right to say this, even if he's completely correct?
