He fails to point out that multi-culturalism in the English Premier League has robbed English players of the chance to develop their skills. League leading Arsenal is coached by a Frenchman and has no English players in its starting formation. How pathetic was it that during the 2006 WC England’s main scoring threat was a Liverpool benchwarmer (Peter Crouch) ?

Err, that’s down to market forces mate, not multiculturalism.

Unlike, say, the NFL that has an almost communist ethos with wages caps, a draft system and fixture scheduling designed to give all teams an equal chance, English football has always been driven by money and survival of the fittest.
