Yeah, stupid England..


I mean, Everton, Man United and Middlesbrough all have shite academies that produce shit players. Must be this..

Seriously you need to stop this, every comment I make about England you think that I think that everything about England is shit. I would think you know of me better but I don't go around saying shit statements about England or the league because I dearly appreciate and love the English League.

I never assumed that those teams produce shit players and so so because that would be an ignorant statement because I know very well that they have very good youths from those teams. (not so sure about Boro)

I only say this happens in England because of "old school" mentality like what they used to do back in the days. I didn't make my statement to say that this is a bad thing but I mean this would be very annoying if I was deprived of wearing the type of boots I want because someone believes something else. etc.

Although I kind of agree with you, if that were the case, wouldn't it mean that they didn't have the correct mentality for football, and them not making it could be right thing for a number of reasons.

If you didn't mean it as a bad thing, why was there a ?

Is it a big deal? Tbh, if I was told I wasn't allowed to wear coloured boots if I was at an academy, it wouldn't bother me. I'm there to play football, not to show off what colout boots I'm wearing.
