I'm an Arsenal fan and everyone is quick to slag us off for not having any English players, there;s a simple reason for this, Wenger likes players with technique, very much like the names above. Do u think Fabregas would of been given at chance at United or Chelsea? No way, for Wenger deserves credit for at least trying the play the game the right way. Pundits and experts are to blame as they love saying phrases like Arsenal don't like it up 'em, I'm referring to big Sam and his terrible way of kick & hoof style of football. I still can't believe his name was mention as a potential England manager!! Messi, Xavi, Deco etc.. wouldn’t of made it in the Premier League, they would have been told to go away and beef up.

If you cast your mind back to May, Capello said that he was only going to pick players on form, yet Hart was named in the PFA team of the year and was 3rd choice behing Green and James who both struggled at club level, Gerrard who we know is an excellent player, though had an awful season with Liverpool but is ahead of any other Midfielder with Lampard, and Upson same excuse as Green but IMO is a poor CB but is standing in front of future talent cropping through, such as the lad who players for Blackburn, Phil Jones I think his name is.

The talent is there. Look at Spain, Pedro made his debut in the World Cup semi final, imagine Sven McClaren doing that!!!! Our excuse has always been they are not experienced enough, which obviously makes them feel like s**t, hence why they always under perform when they are given their chance. Ashley Young is sensational at Villa yet below average when he puts on an England shirt. One word, freedom, play without fear, our boys cant do that our under 21′s got to the Euro final (lost 4-0 to guess who) our under 19′s got to a final and a semi final, so whats the problem?
