To be honest, its Arsenal who don't play their English players much. I consider Arsenal a suburb of France. Man Utd were the Daddies at bringing young English kids through the Academies, i mean, look at the mid 90's. Beckham, Scholes, Butt, the Nevilles etl al. But its the smaller clubs such as West Ham and Middlesbrough (my team) that are bringing good youth players through now. The last game of last season, Middlesbrough actually fielded 10 youth english players that were a result of our Academy in a Premier League game. Fair enough we lost 1-0, but t was English kids against men. You do not see that every day, was proud of them.
