Spain deserved their win, hope we can continue to make steady progress.

Ramsey? He's Welsh!

And the skipper to boot. Bartley from Arsenal ?.....Are you talking about Kyle Bartley. If so he's rubbish !!

my bad... arsenal seem to have quite a few good english youngsters I just got a bit carried away with ramsey, anyhow as long as gomez, boateng and khederia are 'german' surely we can have the odd welshman in there?

bartley will develop under wenger, still in transition phase of his career; boy to man. might still be nowhere near come 2014

anyhow sod all this international mullarky, lets have some serious non-league stuff out on the pitch - nearly time for the friendlies! the only terry I'm really concerned about is our keeper, the only johnson that bothers me is our manager and the only carroll that is of any intetest to me is the one that works behind the tea bar. Gerrard v Pirlo or Atherton Colls away - NO CONTEST.
