The Lack of English Players

[Chris in London]

What we need in this country is obviously stricter immigration controls. Much stricter.

That would stop all these foreign players getting in City's first team.

Can't say I even noticed, when they play for City, they're City players, not England players, or Spain players, or Argentina or France or Brazil players.

The only time I noticed this was when the camera panned along our line up during the national anthem. 2 seconds later I'd forgotten all about it!

Soon as the music started I thought there wouldn't be any City players singing!

Mind, has anyone seen FatScouseGit, Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the Court of Wee Davey, singing the national anthem. I wouldn't want to hear him, but I've never seen his mouth work. Might be to do with the paucity of invective in any of the verses.

For a whole host of reasons English football clubs restricted to recruiting English footballers would go the same way as British Leyland. Crap product no-one wants produced by pampered overpaid journeymen.

What I admired was the fact that Nasri spoke English (his second language) better than most England players.

Also not supporting the England football team doesn't make you any less patriotic.

I also notice that Johnson still can't last for more than 60 or so minutes.
