The point that is missed in my post by some, is that you can be in the EPL without adopting the ethos of the clubs currently incumbent. If BFC, by some freak of nature, made it to the EPL, then great. If they adopted the sickening approach of Suarez, Bale et al, then I'd quickly lose interest, in the same way I have with the England team. I remember being distraught at England's previous failures in major championships. Personally, I've come to expect it now and the likes of Terry, Cole, Robinson and Foster that believe they are above England, has made me realise that my time is worth more than wasting it on them. Until something fundamentally changes. Just my opinion. As ever.
I do think we're all a bit off kilter with this Steele for England malarky. Off the top of my head, Hart, Foster, Forster, Ruddy, Robinson, Butland, Carson, Green are sadly all better than Steele. I'm sure there are plenty of others too. I know some of them have 'opted out' of playing for England but I'm pretty sure a call from Roy would sort that out. I rate Steele by the way, I just don't think he's one of the best 3 English keepers. The people in the England set-up have known about Butland since he was a kid, to suggest they took a punt on an unknown 'cos he was at a big club is pretty wide of the mark. Saddest thing for Butland is that Joe Hart is only 25.
