Fergie supports foreign quotas

Fergie supports limit on foreign players

I don't think there is any chance it will happen, too many people have a financial stake in maintaining the status quo. It's not so much about the national team as far as i am concerned, it's more about giving home grown youngsters the incentive to play football when they are young. The way some teams are going homegrown players will become rarer and rarer, and the likes of arsenal playing with an all foreign team will become the norm. I have always liked to see a few Mancunians in the team when we play the likes of Liverpool and City, because they know what it means to the fans.

Gary Neville still not quite ready, apparently another niggling calf strain, but Saha might figure tomorrow,

The troubles may have come to an end, but sectarianism will take far far longer to end. Loyalist ex terrorists are selling ecstasy pills called loyalist blues, what do they sell on the falls road, nationalist tricolors
