Worst sporting moment ever.

Yeah but you can get into heated arguments here with fans of other clubs and end up wanting Chelsea to win by default. My enjoyment of a hilarious late-season Chelsea crash would be tempered by Smitteh digging my provocative old posts to stick the boot in.
Wednesday night was just awesome though.

BARNES OUT
I wouldn't bother digging your posts, I'd just bring it up again next season when the entire thread claims Chelsea as undisputed champions 7 games into the season again for the 14th year in a row.

From an England pov, I want to see Walcott playing regular first team football in a set-up that's going to bring his game on. By rights that should be Arsenal, and I always worry about English players going to Man city and disappearing without a trace. If he does leave Arsenal, maybe Everton would be a beneficial move for him. Or even Liverpool, playing behind Sturridge rather than on the right.
EDIT
Just read Duffer's post about Liverpool. Great minds and all that.

He's not Sinclair though. He's a proven player in the premier league at a top club. If Navas can get game time so can he. I doubt Everton could really afford his wages, especially if they get no European football next season.
I think he's got things pretty good at Arsenal though, so I'm not sure why he'd leave. Though maybe I rate him higher than Wenger does and he's actually slipped behind Welbeck and Chamberlain in the pecking order. In which case I can probably understand a potential move from both the player and club's perspective. I think he's still the third highest earner at the club, so if he's not in the first team picture...

Yeah, you need 7 homegrown players in your Premier League and Champions League squads. Homegrown isn't just English, it's people who have trained in England for a few years before their 21st birthday, so people like Gael Clichy get in, but they're still quite short. If Milner leaves I think they'll be needing to bring people in. Lot of talk about Barkley for instance.

Thanks. I suppose being in the squad still doesn't mean starting regularly, but I don't know if there's a maximum squad size with that ruling. It strikes me that Walcott's being a bit optimistic leaving for a better team if the idea is to get more first team football. I do quite rate him though, so I hope it all comes to something.

I think all the English blokes currently at top clubs that are thinking of forcing a move are a bit crazy. At least Milner has entertained the idea of a lower wage and playing abroad, but I don't really know what Walcott or Sterling think are going to improve for them if they stall on contracts or whatever.
