Danny Someoneorother (an ex-player from yesteryear - was it Danny Mills maybe?) was on the radio this morning bemoaning the state of English football - not enough young talent coming through, too many foreign players in the Premier League etc. etc., but the one thing that amused me was the comment he made that standards were so much higher 10 or 15 years ago when he and luminaries such as Glenn Hoddle was playing. Yeah right. Now, I'm not an expert in the 'beautiful game' but I have followed the progress of the national team quite closely over the last 45 years and to say the English game was better in those days is obviously being viewed with the proverbial rose tinted glasses. The English game has been so mediocre for so long he should remember the old adage 'the easiest person to fool is yourself', because he's not fooling anyone else.
