In the main we did a whole lot better before the Prem League. At least we would go along

To a tournament with a realistic chance of doing something. What I see now is a degradation of our International team to the point that we have very average players but quite frankly they are the best we've got. Baines, Welbeck, Johnson etc. to be fair to Hodgson they're the best English players but in truth they're very average. It'll just continue to get worse.
