I pay the same as you for newspapers and tv licence fee so can you see why I'm unimpressed?
Like I said before, take it up with the people in charge.

Lobby them, protest outside their offices, get a petition...

Its not population against population, your trying to put words in my mouth - naughty!

I said that we are 10 times smaller than you in terms of population, which means, seeing as i have to spell it out for you, that we have a far smaller pool of players to draw from.

If you then take that in its context and apply it to 1967 you will see that at the time when England were supposedly at thier footballing zenith - we - a humble nation by comparison to the mighty English humped you!
Good to see that you missed the China/India thing then

Like I said glad to have helped give you something to be happy about. I know it was the only time though
