		<description>Yes guys you are right. I mis-spoke. What I meant to say was that Britain has produced more great players than any other footballing nation in history but obviously not the majority of great players. 

Now moving on, to answer an earlier reply where cherry picked results against Bundelsiga clubs were chosen to further the EPL argument. This is disingenuous on my part but no more disingenuous that the initial reply.

Recall Arsenal&#039;s draw Slavia Prague? How about Chelsea with Rosenborg? What Liverpool&#039;s defeat to Beshkitas in the same city as Liverpool&#039;s greatest recent glory. What about United loss last year to Celtic and the near miss at Old Trafford for Celtic as well?

England&#039;s clubs are riding high now, but the last time I checked Spain, Italy have won more champions league titles in the last 20 years. than English teams and Germany, Portugal and Holland have won as many. 

My argument may seem faulty based on those isolated results but the Bundesliga bashing above was simply as short sighted and based on cherry picking facts or as I suspect with some of you never watching a Bundesliga match. 

Recall last year The PL had three teams in the CL semifinals. Yet AC Milan reigned supreme. Even if England&#039;s 3 reps claim a title this year, the league still is chasing Spain and Italy for overall glory and lack of the depth of PL is exposed every single year in the UEFA Cup (except that odd year when Liverpool falls to the UEFA Cup like 2000.)</description>

		<description>Arsenal arent best side in England. I clarified what i said in my last msg and  for the people who didn&#039;t understand..... in my personal opinion man for man Barcelona squad is better than Man United&#039;s thus when their players are playing to the potential we&#039;ve seen them play in patches i still think they are the best team in Europe......</description>

		<description>I won&#039;t go quite as far as the commenter above me but I do agree the remark &quot;the majority of the great players in history are English, or actually British&quot; is off the mark.</description>
