Why don't more UK players go overseas?

Because British culture is quite insular, especially in the lowly educated, working class environments that most British footballers come from. Moving abroad isn't seen as an accomplishment in the same way that it is in many other nations and most players (and their WAGs, too) are both poorly equipped and usually unwilling to do the cultural adjustment required to be successful playing in a different country.

Then there's the issue of wages and the over-pricing of mediocre English players making foreign clubs hesitant.


Is Scottish.

English football in general would benefit greatly from having more players abroad.

Michael Mancienne is the only one playing in one of the top European leagues at the moment I believe.

The Flames should send Monahan back to junior.

Madeleine McCann has to be the ultimate example of missing white girl syndrome.

The inevitable hilarity when Jay gets banned for cheating? Priceless.

I have now finished the book. Patrick Bateman is one shallow, sick fuck.

The book is good though, I'd rate it as a 4/5.

The Elmander dive that got Arnautovic is one for the ages. Absolutely perfectly executed in every regard.

Zlatan is the greatest footballer on the planet and that pass from Källström is better than Mozart.

I fucking love this team sometimes.

I really need to start lifting.

Helped my dad throw out some bags with rubbish at the dump earlier today, the pain in my arms now is absolutely unbearable.

I plan on picking up a Forza but I wasn't sure what number to get

4 is the best. Big improvement on 3.

My favourite Bulgarian football story is still the one about the club who were tricked into sending their top players to Moscow ahead of a derby.

Cardiff have suspended their chief scout and replaced him with 23 year old Kazakhstani who is a friend of the owner's son with no experience in football and was a painter/decorator 6 months ago

I need to find myself a millionaire friend with a club-owning father!

I was given a slim version of one of these yesterday. What games are cheap and decent? I've already traded in GTA 4, BlOPs 2 and London 2012 that I got with it as well so none of those. I have GTA 5 on PS3 already so not that either...

Forza 4 is a must have if you are the least bit interested in racing games.

Die Hard is pretty much a perfectly executed action film even if you do take it seriously.

I tried to move my fish tank into the disused fire place today as I thought it would look good there which it did for about an hour until we heard a loud crack, I guess we hadn't distribted the weight properly and should have put a peice of wod underneath. I rescued the fish and stck them in a bucket but we need a new fish tank.

Congratulations!

No, it's a film with terrible dialogue, bad acting, boring action scenes, awful film "science" and a completely preposterous premise.

I cringed constantly for the first 25 minutes, then I was bored for the rest of the film.

I'm not sure why Wilmots would be an "authority" on Januzaj given his refusal to represent Belgium.
