Did it bother anyone that we started with NO...

Personally no.

A great team performance, absolutely incredible

Err NO! Lets get it right english players are not good enough just look at the rags!

This is the truth,the whole truth,and nothing but the truth.. :)

Unfortunately it isn't though. Look at the record the fuckers have of winning the league. Regardless of them being shite, they still won the league 5 out of the last 7 seasons with a very strong English and Brit presence in their side.

Oh, and this has fuck all (for me any way) to do with jingoistic tendencies (I'm a jock and couldn't give a fuck about the England national team, or if we are nurturing players who will do a good job for that lot), it's about us winning the league, and I just think that a few decent English players wouldn't go amiss in our starting 11. Yep, the English players cost more, and regardless of how we think about how much GCP paid for Ferdinand and Rooney, the end results justified the outlay.

Nope. Don't care less where they are from as long as they do the business for City.
The FFP could have a lot to do with it also as it seems as soon as you play 10 games in the championship, if English your valued at 8-15 million. Teams who used to take a punt on these players often now cant afford to, especially when you get like for like from abroad for cheaper. Top level English players now come with an additional premium on the fee simply due to their English so in complying with the FFP we can get just as good abroad for cheaper. I mean look at the fees for Zaha and Navas as an example

Didn't even notice. So no

[Super David Silva 21]

Not at all.

 

[BufordUSABlue]

So be it! Sad reflection on our national team!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The only thing that bothered me was that we didn't get as many goals in the second half as we did in the first.

of 72 league clubs you'll find a UK/Eire combo few and far between
