Well England have 3 out of 4 of the European Cup finalists so that must be clear indication of the strength of British football then.
Uh well no as it happens.
A full strength Chelsea would have John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and perhaps Joe Cole. Manchester united is of course a much better proposition with Rooney, Scholes, Giggs, Ferdinand, Neville and Carrick in their first 11. Hard to know what Liverpools first 11 would be, don't think Benitez knows either! Shall we say Carragher, Finan (i'm stretching it), Gerrard, Bellamy and Crouch. Oh and if we throw Arsenal into the mix we add uh no one.
Of course Manchester United have a number of British Players but the reason they are top is one Christiano Ronaldo. And by far the best striker is one Didier Drogba.
I think that all goes to show that our football is not in rude health just that the game is awash with money and we can buy the best talent.

Would your second Frank Lampard be Joe Cole?
English teams?
Owned mainly by non English, managed by non English....
Nope only Premiership Teams and the money part is really true look at the gap between these 3 (and Arsenal) and the rest.
