    Since the inception of the Premier league, supposedly the best league in the world,you would have expected the English clubs to have dominated in Europe, using logic.
    That could happen,the last few years looking a bit better, time will tell.
    In the record books pre premier league, English clubs did dominate in Europe for spells, made up of home nation players.
    Some might say that was when you had the ref wave his finger at you if you went through a player, but there were still skillful players about at that time.
    Those teams from the 70’s and 80’s are in the history books as winners.
    Those games just as exciting to watch then, as games are now.
    The past winners have set the bar high.

    For how long has professional football been played in this country?
    And now we have to rely on foreign investment to build stadiums, buy players etc.
    When we are supposed to be the fifth richest country in the world.How much foreign investment was in English football when we won the World Cup?
    Most of the so called top managers inherit good teams. They’re overrated.
    Why don’t these so called top managers have long runs at one club?
    Wenger being an exception,but should have gone years earlier.
    The moneygoround has attracted foreign owners, players and coaches.
    It hasn’t advanced English football at all.
    Most supporters don’t give a monkeys about the structure of their clubs, as long as there team wins.
    English football doing reasonable well in Europe is an illusion, as they are mostly made up of foreign players.
    I’d have thought you could have had a good guess at my views, and saved my time explaining.

    If there was a 1% chance you thought I was being racist, then as I’ve been out with three females of mixed race, have one brothers-in-law who is Scottish, another who is half Scottish half Jamaican,and a great niece who is half English half Pakistani, I’d have thought I’d noticed by now if I was.
    I’m sure you weren’t though, but just in case.

    Scottish? Scottish you say....hmm now you are pushing social boundaries👹💩🤨🤪

    There wasn't any hugging and kissing in the New Zealand v England rugby tunnel.

    No hugs or kisses in the Swansea v Cardiff tunnel,perhaps it's just a prima donna premier league thing.

    I’d like to give a big shout-out to those youngsters on the Liverpool and Arsenal teams the other night, outstanding.
    My team, Chelsea, also have great youngsters, as do other teams.
    On the downside, the level of defending in the Premiership is absolutely awful.
