Home or away?

The headline full english was used for the report that four teams are through to the final in two european football competitions (Mail).

Though the teams may be based in england, they have very little to do with english football, with four foreign managers, three foreign owners and, looking at their team sheets, few english players.

When there was a restriction on the number of foreign players, this country more than punched its weight in international football. But we have lost the ability of bringing through young players from youth squads into first team action.

now all the Premier league can do is shell out on overpriced divas.

MICHAEL BENSON, London SE25. While congratulations go to liverpool and Tottenham for bringing some elation into our lives, at this time of concerns about climate change, does it make sense for two english teams plus thousands of their supporters to fly to Madrid for the Champions league final?

Though the airlines and hoteliers are happy to cash in, there will be a huge increase in aircraft emissions.

Surely in the unusual circumstance of both teams being from england, it should not be too difficult to change the venue to Wembley.
