A lot of the reason we do not produce the more technical player is because the way our youngsters are brought up. In Italy, Spain and most other countries when a parent drops there child off at football training they are then banned from watching the game. In England we have parents shouting at the kids saying 'run you lazy so an so', 'do him' and so forth where everything is orientated to fitness and winning the game. Kids don't need to be told to run, they need to be told to hold the ball, look for the open man, not to be afraid at trying something in the game without being worried about getting abuse from there team mates and adults watching the game.

I was a manager of a under 12 team about 15 years ago. We won games 4-0 or 5-0. My best game was when we lost 1-0, we played wonderful one touch football in triangles, touch and move giving the player on the ball 2 choices at all times to pass. I was sacked. The same is happening to arsene wenger.

Also I am now thinking that even if John Terry and Louis Suarez have done nothing, because of the current climate it may now be impossible for them to receive a fair hearing and will get very large bans from football.

I hope that this does not encourage players with no morales to make allegations just to get rid of opponents best players.
