Liverpool fans are the greatest fans in the world, bar none.

Now, if you're going to drag up things like the assault on Smith's ambulance, that's not the work of fans. That's the work of morons looking for trouble. Same as when Everton played Man Utd. From what I've heard, a bunch of morons, who I would not call Man Utd fans, pulled Everton fans out of their cars and beat the crap out of them for being scousers, whilst the Everton fans' kids watched in the car. Every club has morons associated with them, but I would never call them fans.

NOW ONTO ARSENAL AND ENGLISH!

Are you seriously telling me there's no English defenders as good as, or better than, Pascal Cygan? There are no English midfielders better than Song or Flamini? And don't give me the "THEY COST TOO MUCH!" line. Raise them in your academy, like we did with Carragher, Gerrard, Fowler, Mellor and Warnock, and you can get them free. Or get them from lower league clubs. Carson and Anderson are good examples of this. (Anderson is only 17, and was an unused sub against Benfica. I can't wait for his full team debut)

Having said that, if there's a limit to foreign players, this seriously screws over countries with poor quality leagues. Like, for example, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and failing that, Africa. How good would Toure and Drogba be if they played only in the Ivorian league, or Sissoko and Traore (I daren't think) if they played only in the Mali league?

However, personally, I am in favour of 4 or perhaps 5 English/whatever players per side.
