Not wishing to quote a lengthy post when I only want to take issue with one part of it, but the FA and the Premier League are two separate entities. The FA is the game's governing body in England and ostensibly control all leagues in the same way. The Premier League is owned and controlled by its member clubs.

The team of Euro 1996 was a good side, with most of the starting XI in their peak years. The midfield 3 of Platt, Ince, and Gascoigne were in their late 20's and of course there was the partnership of Shearer and Sheringham up front.
When i was back in Brum two years ago i was dismayed to see the changes to Perry Barr Park, the area that we used for Suday festival league matches and school football let alone our street get togethers has been taken up by a not vey attractive stadium
We have also just been awarded the Youth Sport Trust Gold Status as well as Sainsbury's School Sport Silver Kitemark. Knackering, but worthwhile.
