Whether or not it goes through, still interesting to see how it'll affect us.

I don't want a league of Liverpool-esque philisophy of English talent.

I don't see why English players can't be more open to gaining experience over in Europe.

Dyke's strategy makes no sense for English clubs.

I would love to see a rule whereby every EPL club has to use ONE Under-23 English player for all EPL matches. That way, at least one youngster from each club has a chance of making it..

That kind of rule would be tough to enforce, and I doubt any club would accept it. For eg. what would happen if said English player was unavailable because of injury?

But I completely agree with you on the first part. His strategy makes no sense whatsoever.

Chris Ramsey is underrated for quotes:

'There's and unbelievable belief at this club..'

'It won't take a miracle for us to stay up, but it will take a miraculous run of form'

Skrtel banned for 3 games.

Kolo Toure will likely play against Arsenal then. Oh dear.

Surely it has got to be Lovren?

[Jase 43,479]

Surely it has got to be Lovren?

Maybe but both are equally average/bad.

LOL Skrtel just posted a photo of him, Brenton and Slippy G on Instagram

Kolo Toure will likely play against Arsenal then. Oh dear.

Toure has been surprisingly good this season.

[Jase 43,479]

Toure has been surprisingly good this season.

But I still wouldn't put him in the trustworthy/reliable category.

It baffles me how far down Bertrand is in the pecking order. Unbelievable

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil 'convinced' he can lift prestigious Ballon d'Or despite criticism. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/9775595/arsenals-mesut-ozil-convinced-he-can-lift-prestigious-ballon-dor-despite-criticism

:confused:

He says that "he would like to hold the Ballon d'Or in his hands in the next few years" so I guess he won't have any problems taking a selfie with Hazard's trophy.

Lol, he wish. Well, at least he has a dream

[Special Juan 27,512]

He wouldn't even win the ballon wood.

Should a league would only last for two weeks, then Sturridge and Giuseppe Rossi would definitely be Europe's deadliest duo
