I prefer playing football than watching. Generally I wish more clubs put more faith in their youngsters than spending millions of pounds on players from abroad.

of Chelsea is another good player to watch out for.


With Frimpong he is a future England international and I like to see him paired up with Wishire.

He is already picked for the England U21 team and have played for the England's U18s and U16s teams.


Capello is a fan of Frimpong and Wenger has suggested last year that he should be quickly picked for England's first team given his choice of countries to play for.


When would you start playing with us? Are you scared of Re-re's toe crunching tackles?

This is pretty clear.............a few months old




The young Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is currently recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury which has kept him out of the team since the beginning of the season, but he is recovering well and hopes to return to traing in the next month or so.


The youngster, who has just turned 19, has represented England at U16 and U17 levels but is adamant that he wants to represent his home country Ghana.


In an interview today on Citi Sports in Ghana he made it clear where his heart lies. ?I have always said that I will play for Ghana because I am a Ghanaian Player. My whole family is from Ghana but at the same time, I have been in England since I was young and I see England as my home.


?But at the moment, if Ghana calls me up I will gladly go and play. But there are people who also don?t want me be called to play for Ghana which is very disappointing. I guess I just have to wait for a call up but at the moment I am still playing for England so it?s a bit of a difficult situation? .


?I have always told my family that if Ghana calls me, I will personally ride my own bicycle from England to Ghana? he concluded.

June this year-


?I want to play for Ghana, because I am a Ghanaian and not for the Three Lions of England.?


?My name is ample testimony that I am a Ghanaian, and so I find it ridiculous playing for the England national team with the kind of name I bear,?


?I have been offered the chance to play for the English side, but I think playing for Ghana would be appropriate.?


-some words are harder to go back on than others... though I suppose he could always change his name to Manny Frimpton?

Danny Welbeck had made the difficult choice when he chose England over Ghana. In case of the Boateng brothers, Jerome chosen Germany while Kevin-Prince played for Ghana and was on opposing sides during the World Cup 2010.


With Frimpong making his first English Premiership start for Arsenal last Saturday, England has signalled their intent and this week selected him for their U21 squad.

It seems there are a wealth of very good technical young English players playing for various clubs such as Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester Utd. Josh Macceachran is another impressive young talent.

It's just not simply money. Compared to the seventies and eighties, Scottish clubs haven't produced the same calibre of players like a Dalglish or a Souness.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view.

      Franklins is being sold

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.

      The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
