Was there any need to reply like that when all I did was ask a question?

Hardly any of them are English

Youth football is great, you can pick out potential great players and see what your nations future will be like as well.

I am well aware of the attractions of youth football. My question to Lennon was why he was so interested in particular. As usual he couldn't reply in a polite way.

Their best players are foreign. But they have some decent English lads trying to get a game. But they are in different year groups to the u18s.

I should point out that any second year lads in this no-mark level can't be much cop.

I hadn't realised my boy Welbeck was on the bench against thingy the other night. Had they not been struggling he'd have made his debut.

As it was we had to do with Ronaldo.

Johnathan franks is meant to be a good player i have heard. havent heard anything of richie smallwood, you seen much of him?

I see Victor Moses was star man for Palace yesterday - he got rave reports for the game.

is there any good players
