I bet unpredictable results are interesting Newcastle may still beat Liverpool.

Pardew wants us to have at least two or three home players starting? Is Henry replaceable by an Englishman? He might be, but then that'd be ripping the soul out of football. Not letting talent play because of nationality -- and people are making this sound like it's some sort of mini-World Cup. It's a domestic League, for god's sake. Nationalities shouldn't even matter, if we take it literally -- it's a game between arsenal and Liverpool. Not between France and England. In our defence, I'll just spew the same old: we do have the said 'two or three English players' -- Cole and Campbell are just injured, that's all.

You just ask Michael Owen why he left his brilliant English team to go play with the Spaniards. Or Beckham. Why anyone does it.
