afc Arsenal are saving english football

[n/a]

Are Arsenal saving English footballPremier League Arsenalby cheese85 12 February 2008Arsenal have very few players in their first team squad and a foreign manager. one point against.They are the only English owned club in the Champions League. one pointThey play english style attacking football the way it should be played. one pointThey produced more players for the last England 11 than any other team. one pointWhen we did have English players they were Englands best performers in competition. 2002 Campbell World cup team. 2004 Ashley Cole 2004 Euro Team. one pointIn the youth setup of every premiership club Arsenal and Middlesborough have the fewest foreign players. 1 each.The all important one.England are a poor football team because they are technically inferior to all top nations.If a generation of English kids are brought up watching Arsenal who are maybe the best technical team in the world, certainly the premiership, then maybe they will learn how to play attacking team football rather then look at Chelsea and play route one.Also the behaviour of the foreign stars off the field is perfect, something that has destroyed many English players and prospects.Bentley recently said that he left Arsenal because it wasn't fun, and Cashley Cole left through greed and to go out all night with his England buddies.Arsenals players talk of teamwork and hard work and respect the club.Loyalty is another word that is described as being 'English'.Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Alan Smith, Rooney, Lampard, Defoe, are all English players who have moved to rival clubs after claiming to 'love' their club.Arsenal over the last 10 years have had numerous foreign players that were true and loyal to the club.VieiraPiresBergkampLjungbergLaurenHenryEduas well as most of the current squad.All left on good terms with the fans acceptance and towards the end of their careers.I would say that Arsenal are doing a lot more for English football then people give them credit for and that anyone who believe's that they are assisting Englands downfall are completely ignoring the roots of the problem that Arsenal are slowing trying to correct.comment on this article | alert

I'm sorry but most of that is utter bullshit.

No english players in the first team>>>>>>>

English players aren't good enough, thats why they're not going to be playing football this summer.Micah Richards is the only English player outside the top 4 that would hold down a place in Arsenals starting 11. I could be cheeky and throw Gerrard in there now. Think long and hard before quoting that.Arsenals football>>>_______________

Only way Arsenal can be saving English football is if we produce quality young english players that can play technical football.. theres a good group of under 18 english players in our youth team so we will see.

To be fair, Gibbs, Randall and Lansbury are looking rather sick right about now.

Wouldnt take it that far..I'd say Rooney, Ferdinand, Brown, *edit bitches*, Carrick maybe, King, Lennon could all challenge for first team places at arsenal.And of course, Richards.All of those players you would be glad to have at Arsenal yes? with the POSSIBLE exception of Carrick, he does not really fit in with your style of football.
