It's frustrating how boring England are to watch, compared with how exciting the U20s and U21s are to watch. What happens to these players when the step up to the full England team, it's like they have all the talent and excitement taken away from them.

What happens to these players when the step up to the full England team, it's like they have all the talent and excitement taken away from them. It's really not the same though.It's like Villa players looking good with our U23 and U18 sides, and then being asked to play in the PL.England U20's are often playing against U18/19's from the likes of Spain and Germany - as their players have progressed upwards. England U21's are often playing against U19/20's, etc.We are a level or two behind at every stage, when compared to the top nations. This is why our success at lower level never translates to the senior England side.
Coventry fans singing “shit on the Villa” right now in their game against little Barnet. Bless ‘em, I thought they’d forgotten about us.
