170 players to choose from for Mr Capello's Brave New World. And some of them are John Terry (apparently the worst player ever if the Makele thread is anything to go by).

It also shows why West Ham are so shit, putting all their eggs in an English basket (sobs).

Ha ha ha, that is the most dishonest graph I have ever seen.

West Hams figure could have been even higher had Dyer not been unavailable for all but 3 games while Scott Parker only played 19 games due to injury...

Sorry, GO, the first one.

I've often seen graphs with the bulk skipped, if that's the problem.

Those foreigners are coming in and stealing English jobs, simply because they are more talented. You lot should learn something from America, and build a wall or a moat or something around your country. Keep the scroungers out.

Maybe if you had a Prime Minister who understood that the problems of the English team can only be solved with a British solution of British jobs for British Squads, you wouldn't be in this fix.

Yeah, but if you're going to do that you need to clearly indicate. Combined with the headline and caption, that creates the impression of a far more precipitous decline than has in fact been the case. As they well know...

Ah, but we've got a Scottish gentleman (insofar as any Pictish oaf can truly be called a gentleman) as Prime Minister. No wonder the English game is in ruins with his fifth column antics.

Hang on, he's a rugby man. Although on reflection he's doing a bang up sabotage job there as well...
