His quote printed in the Daily Mail today -
Talking about tonight's Costa Rica game =
" it would be easy to roll over, and say it
Wasn't our tournament, and go home with
3 defeats".
WOULD IT now Frank ,--
It shows how the England players are
Sooooo  out of touch with their Fan base and
The Nation at home !!
" Easy " indeed !!
Their plane  should be met at both Manchester and Luton
On Wednesday afternoon with large banners
saying " PATHETIC and molly coddled !! ".
Because Mr Lampard , it should not be "Easy to roll over"
In an England shirt and i hope you retire after tonight's match
Along with the rest of the Party who think it is
"Easy to roll over" !!
We want players in the squad who will fight to win
EVERY game and not even consider
" Rolling over" ..
And I hope most of the Forum and England agrees !!

Forget the banners. The traditional English way was off to the stocks to be pelted with rotten eggs and vegetables. Laugh

Running short of vegetables since Menelaus and Northernlad went.

This is what happens when you are dependant on tv money, it is so big that you buy the best foreign players, youngsters don't get a chance.
England will continue to slip down the rankings for the foreseeable future.

By the same token, of course, other countries would buy English players. Is this not so?

No.

So why don't foreign teams buy foreign players?

Eternaloptimist -- now pelting them with rotten vegetables
-- that WOULD be showing our disgust at their  poor showing .

Foreign teams like to patro.ise Britain, at the same time they are ruthless in putting their own country first
They know England is mad.

No, it isn't so, because other countries are not so dependant on the tv money as English teams are.
They can develop younger players and then sell them on to EPL teams, desperate to hang on to the tv money.
The team who finish bottom of the epl get around 50-60 million, for finishing bottom, the Scottish league winner gets about 2 million.
English teams and the national team, sold their soul to sky etc.

That's a fair enough point.

Because foreign countries look to their own young people first.

It wouldn't surprise me in the future that the world cup was based on leagues, not nationalities, just think of the team England could put out then.
Years ago, there used to be a Scottish league team versus English league team, though the players were almost all home grown anyway.

If it is not based on nationalities it loses much of its appeal.
There is an ugly , but primal element to international football :-)

As ever, I blame the fans of the big premier clubs.  Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal and especially chelsea and Man City.  Too many foreigners and the fans keep on coughing up the money and funding the whole shebang, they need to go on strike, i mean scousers will go on strike if their tea is cold yet they keep getting royall fked up the @rse by their clubs and paying for the privilege.  33pc of prem playing minutes are by english, and unlike other countries i cant name a single english player playing overseas.
