At least as DCFC fans, we are used to a little disappointment!!

Any think we would even win a Home Nations tournament if they held one next summer? My money's on Scotland and Northern Ireland, they play with some heart!!

the English league should be the league with English players
not the league in england with foreigners

"So with 166 of 479 players in the Premiership being English, do we have a problem with to many foreign players in the English game?"

313 out of 479 players in the ENGLISH premier league aren't even English and the team with the most English players are the ones at the bottom of the table

i don't mind British players in the prem but something has to be done to get the county back to the standard it once was!

Well a new competition is starting called the Celtic Cup. It will be played bi-annually between the World and European Cups. It will comprise of Wales, Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. England were invited but turned it down.

It could be a bit of revenge from us. When the olympics were on we wanted to enter Great Britain as a football team, the Scottish and Welsh don't want to. Also since Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not entering a womens football team for the Olympics England asked if it was ok that the national English womens team was able to go and represent Britain, again they refused.

Has it been confirmed they don't want to participate? I heard they were still thinking about it.

Yeah well I hope they do change their minds and enter. Regardless of peoples feelings towards the other nations the England games will be a gaurantee sell out with a great atmosphere.

We should play, but i doubt it.

The F.A. are retarded, suppose it would be good to get Cappello a few games to see how we play.
