Yep, Ireland or Israel deserved that spot.
The Swiss suck, I can't understand how they beat Turkey.

What a load of bollocks!Originally Posted by cut
Shall we see who has more foreigners? One certain Chelski perhaps? And how many home grown players do they have? John Terry. And the occasional bit part by Carlton Cole. yeah they have some decent English players but only because they can afford to pay the inflated prices that English players are subject to.
We've got plenty of young English players waiting in the wings, theres two playing reguarly in the league as it is for Blackburn and Sunderland
Chelsea may be almost at bad but at least I've seen them play all their english players, I've only ever seen Cole and Campbell for Arsenal from the current squads.
Also Chelsea make much more of their intentions to bring up home grown talent where as all you ever hear from Arsenal is their new foreign aquisitions ("Arsenal are trying to snatch £10m-rated St Etienne star Didier Zokora")

Right, because Johnson/Bridge/Cole etc are first team regulars? lies!
Terry & Lampard yeah, the rest once in a blue moon.

Belhassen also confirmed an earlier Chelsea enquiry but believes it is now a straight race between United and Arsenal for the player's signature.
"Chelsea contacted me in the summer when they were having difficulties with signing Michael Essien from Lyon and I know they're still interested in Didier," added the agent.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed at the club's Annual General Meeting that he was interested in signing three of Tottenham's current stars.
The Frenchman, responding to criticism of overlooking English talent in the transfer market, revealed his admiration for Jermain Defoe, Paul Robinson and Michael Carrick.

read what I wrote, Chelsea are almost a bad, as in a bit better, I know they are going for foreigners too, but I've still seen a lot more of chelsea's non regular english players than I have of Arsenal's non-existent ones, or even their reserves.
That is why I don't like Arsenal, and I don't like chelsea either, despite them being my local team back home, because they've always had loads of foreign stars.
If you added up appearances Im sure Arsenal's English players will have more than the likes of Bridge, Johnson, Cole etc. Bentley & Hoyte play ever week, granted not for Arsenal but they are still Arsenal players
Scotland lost friendly now...... DAMN IT
Yep, we do suck, but you are worse.Originally Posted by XTC
