English Fotballers

[dj Calleti]

That's cause most english players are glorified bums.

Yeah but look at the actual winners. There's not a lot of shit there.

Oh no question

As much as I love them, English footballers are just like English boxers. The country gets so excited to support their own that they result in being vastly overrated. Which subsequently leads English clubs to overpaying for white players when in reality they could probably be getting cheaper and better South American or African players.

Case and point today, Newcastle v Liverpool.

Scholes, Hoddle, Owen (back in the day), Lampard ( Best scoring record for midfield), Shearer, Linaker, Danglish, Keegan. If these guys were from france or sapin or italy they world be spoken about alot.

No offence man, But I hav no idea what your talking about

Scholes played for United, who won the treble in 1999, pretty much during his prime, why would he leave united?

Owen was recognised world wide and every country knew he was 1 of the best in the world...and won the Ballon d'ore in 2001

Shearer was well known but seemed content to stay in england

Lineker - played for barca for 3 seasons and got 2nd best player in the world 1986

and I could go on about the rest....

But all you have to do is compare that fact that our answers to the Messis, Villas and Gotzes of this world are players like Carroll, Lampard and Downing.
