agrred but i think that there is alot of english talent breaking through at the moment i think in five years the statistics will be very different English players that i can see being at a top four club in five years: Micah richards Ashley young David Bentley Gabbie Agbobglahor Arron Lennon |

I just think more english players need to play first team football in epl. Last week Villadolid in Spain started with 11 Spanish players. I know ther are not one of top teams but the players are getting the experience they need |

O'Neil seems to like building a team, I'm sure he'll stay at Villa. I mean why wouldn't he? he has a good group of players, financial backing and his team are doing well in the league. |

I honestly don't know. I feel however as if O'Neil especially likes the building of the team and the club. Maybe he won't get as much satisfaction from managing a bigger side. |

It's cool to see some top English talent kickin it in the Champs League. There would probably be a lot more if we had players playing for other European clubs as well. |

flak and gary love stacie and weep sorrowful tears when she's not around | |
