If the EPL is such a Big Time League with superior Managers and players, then you'd expect this superiority to translate to silverware for the National team wouldn't you?
1966 and then ?????????
I agree. The fact a football nation as big as England haven't won a major tournament for 60 years is a fucking disgrace.If the EPL is such a Big Time League with superior Managers and players, then you'd expect this superiority to translate to silverware for the National team wouldn't you?

But that's due in some part to the fact that the Premier League is so big. And lucrative.
So much so that it dominates every aspect of the national game and the importance and attention to the national team pales into insignificance.
Pretty much every football fan over here puts club before country. Me included
If I had a choice between seeing Spurs win the league or England winning the world Cup I'd go Spurs every time
Edit...in many respects, England are the Spurs of international football. Always coming up short. Forever under achieving and not maximising their full potential.
Englandy
I thought you were scheming up ways to make the "EPL" have a salary cap just like they do in the nonce sports you watch mate?

Maaaate,
Just looked at some of your recent posts......so negative.
Have you considered anger management classes?
As for the salary cap, at least it would give all 20 teams in EPL a chance of winning instead of which of the top 6 has the deepest pockets with which to buy the title.
With a cap. it would boil down to manager and player skill, rather than money.
Your negativity on an online message board is filtering down to the team and contributing to our poor form.
Perhaps the single biggest cause after Gary Neville’s commentary and the refereeing conspiracy against us.
When you think about it , it's a miracle we've survived relegation with all these factors to contend with
I think Levy deserves another bonus personally
A really big bonus, he brought Ange to us.
For that we shall all be eternally grateful
Nice to hear your positive attitude.
Great reply.
Negativity leads to a sense of doom. Funk is pretty nice music too!

Wrong thread for positivity. Bin vote cast.
I thought this was the thread where you could advance your positivity about sacking Ange.
Am I wrong?
Not necessarily no. it has the highest average revenue per club ... by far.If the EPL is such a Big Time League with superior Managers and players, then you'd expect this superiority to translate to silverware for the National team wouldn't you?

It also wins more European trophies than other leagues over recent years.
It is objectively the best league.
England have a strong squad but a shite manager. England also doesn't invest enough in the grassroots football that feeds academies. That said, the academies are far stronger than they were 20 or 30 years ago. England now produces players that are technically closer in standard to the best European countries.
“You’ll never sing that “
We’re all on ‘anger management courses’
Step 1
Join a football forum of a failing club with an out of touch manager!
And here we all are!
I've never seen that this would follow its actually counterintuitive...but hey ho. One world title....like you know one more than countless countries.If the EPL is such a Big Time League with superior Managers and players, then you'd expect this superiority to translate to silverware for the National team wouldn't you?

Uh no, we import all our top coaches. Pep and Klopp aren't British .. shockingly.
Producing great players and managers as a country comes not from having a top league but from having strong youth systems and encouraging coaches by offering coaching badges. We didn't do either for a very long time, now we're doing the former (so producing some incredibly talented footballers) but still not doing the latter .. hence very few top managers.
