    Why don't they just save the money and get their teams to simply practise penalties in the local park?

    How about an hour on how to convince yourselves that you are world beaters by telling every fool that will listen that you are. Also a full day on understanding how the FIFA world rankings work. England are third and could be top soon especially if they beat the mighty San Morino. True position? Let's be optimistic and say about 10th! What a load of rubbish we are and my interest in the national team is hovering just above zero.

    is St Georges Pk really needed now that every top class club has or is installing a training system as good as Arsenal? would letting clubs train and work with players at a very young age not be a better plan? this place seems 15 years out of date now to me.
