    We're both on the same page here Rich, it's getting ridiculous. Didn't the Italians do something like in the past??

    In other news Wayne Rooney has improved his looks 10 fold with that gash on his forehead!!

    Yeah now he looks like Shrek meets Harry Potter lol but we might miss him for these two qualifiers, hopefully not though.

     

    Here's another article, on the first day of the new season, teams selected fewer English players than ever before!

     

    http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/aug/19/english-talent-premier-league-importing

     

    The problem is that the numbers go down every year, we do have rules in which means you have to have a certain amount of British players in your squad but they don't have to play. So basically the rule is pointless! I saw this coming years ago, the first major instance was when Arsenal played in the champions league and didn't field a single British player! So this club that's representing England in Euro doesn't have a single British player playing? This is now happening everywhere expect there's normally a couple of home grown talent. 

     

    This is one reason why i'm quite proud to support utd, we put a lot into youth development and the youngsters that come through generally get in with a shout at getting a place. I also like the fact that when we do buy we do buy a lot of British players, in the last few seasons we've bought

     

    Phil Jone

    Chris Smalling

    Ashley Young

    Wilfried Zaha

    Nick Powell

     

    And we've promoted these players to the first squad

     

    Larnell Cole

    Jesse Lingard

    Michael Keane

    Ben Amos

     

    Now i'm not being all like utd are amazing and everyone else sucks, i just don't know the ins and outs of other teams. 

     

    Basically something needs to happen and it needs to happen fast because i feel we're going to start dropping behind in Europe (clubs) when we were so dominant a few years ago. In 2008 3 of the 4 teams in the semi final of the champions league were English, now this year we can't even get a team into the quarter finals for the first time since 1996! So basically, we're not using home grown talent and we're still going no where. Football in this country is on the decline, club and country.

     

    Hopefully Friday will prove me wrong but then it is Moldova (no offence)

    Oi! Oi!

    I read an interview with Jamie Oliver the other day, he'd been doing a show about how people who don't earn a lot can still eat healthy. He began by sayin that he used to feel sorry for people because crap food is generally cheaper than fresh produce. He then said he was disgusted when he went to these people's houses because they ate like shit but yet all had 50" 3d tvs and wore brand clothing.

    Priorities obviously isn't a known word for to some people. I think this goes hand in hand with how children are brought up. People's priorities are wrong and unfortunately some people's priority list doesn't even include their children.

    As I'm not a father some may think I don't have a right to say how someone should raise their child but the way I see it is you need a balance. You must be strict with them and show them the rights and wrongs of life and tell them to treat others how you'd want to be treated in return. But at the same time you have to let them find out life for themselves, don't give them everything on a plate.

    Basically the idea's simple but putting it in to practice takes hard work.

    I'm rabbiting now

    Completely agree! My school life was exactly the same as Dave's, it's all about respect at the end. I'm much happier being nice to people anyway, so works for me.

     

    I've heard kids scream at their parents in the street, to the point where everyone is embarrassed by the whole thing.

     

    This dude that i shared a house with at uni went nutty at his parents, he'd left something back where he used to live and asked his parents to post it to him. Instead of posting it, they drove down to give it to him and to take him out for lunch as a surprise. He went fuckin nutty at them.

     

    "what the fuck are you doing here?"

     

    "i told you to fuckin post it"

     

    "arggghhhh!!!" 

     

    Lots of other noises and more ranting went on. I couldn't believe it, his parent did something so nice for him and that's the gratitude he shows. I felt ill listening to it and even watched his mums heart literally break as he ripped into them and they both stood their looking to the ground not saying a thing. They left pretty sharpish (i should mention it's a 3 hour drive from where they lived, so 6 in total) I soon told him what i thought of him after that and he had the nerve to try and defend himself. The only thing is he wasn't 15 or 16 he was 19 or 20 years old!!!

     

    Gah i'm angry writing this now

    And it looks like we might be getting Herrera from Athletic Bilbao, who's apparently a decent player but haven't heard or seen much of him.

     

    The Fellaini deal is pretty much done (apparently) with Baines also coming in.

     

    Will be good competition for the rest of the team!

    I'm sure he's a decent guy i just don't like the way he acts on the pitch, i hate the whole diving thing (imagine how much he' gona be diving for madrid) and i hate to whole one man show thing. As soon as he gets the ball he basically has no intention of passing, i watched plenty of games last season where he could have set up countless amounts of goals but chose to have a shot on target from about 30 yards away.

     

    Also i just don't think he'll like it at Madrid, why? Cuz no one ever seems to lol

    1. 1245: 
      REAL BALE

      Deciding that keepy-uppys can only end badly, Bale does a bit of posing then heads off on a lap of the pitch. The odd bounce of a ball, a few thrown into the crowd. These are not the skills of an £85m man.

    2. 1243: 
      REAL BALE

      Bale is back out on the pitch, strip on, under severe keepy-uppy pressure. Three and down! Even I can do that many. Epic fail.

     

     

    Excellent! lol

     

    I just don't like him, he's got the arrogance of Ronaldo, maybe worse but is no where near him on the skill level....IMO
