The unbeatables of 03/04 were pretty English werent they! they were solid enough, a backbone of Lehmann, Toure, Campbell, Vieira, Gilberto, Henry...just Campbell! thats the best Arsenal team ive ever seen!

Can't see it happening. I was hoping it would though if only to finally get a few English players at the club.
Now refering to him as Hitler or Griffin because of this is quite frankly pathetic he has made NO rescist comments and isnt even English himself![]()
but then again maybe you know more and he is a fully payed up member of the Nazi party

You forgot to mention Cole, Parlour, and to a smaller degree Keown to add to Campbell wonder why? In this current Arsenal era of spineless majority of foreign players it might make you long for the likes of Parlour etc... and to refer to him as Hitler because of this is sillySwale_Gooner1985 wrote:The unbeatables of 03/04 were pretty English werent they! they were solid enough, a backbone of Lehmann, Toure, Campbell, Vieira, Gilberto, Henry...just Campbell! thats the best Arsenal team ive ever seen!

I didnt add those because they were not part of the first choice 11 or not the backbone, when talking backbone im talking the centre halfs, the keeper, central midfielders and forward, hence the name 'backbone' it runs down the middle!flash gunner wrote:You forgot to mention Cole, Parlour, and to a smaller degree Keown to add to Campbell wonder why?

Bank Boo

If this does turn out to be true then surely Joe Cole must be a good addition to the team...? And at least it would mean we have an English player at the World Cup!!
On the subject of English/Irish/Scottish players....In the early 70's we had virtually no foreign players in the old First Divsion. And England failed to qualify for tornaments in 1974, 1976 and 1978..... And there are plenty of top teams now who have a solid backbone of players from our great islands who haven't exactly stormed the Premier League - Spurs and Villa to name but two.
I think that if you have the right players then it really doesn't matter where they are from.... The English players at Utd and Chelsea are there on merit not because of where they were born.
And the fact that even with so many places in Premier League teams now being filled by foreigners should mean that we see an ever increasing trend of English players plying their trade abroad. As this is not the case then it points to English players just not being good enough at the moment....
