  So, England are to go to the World Cup Finals later this year and the tv coverage of our national team, by our national broadcaster is to include:
  
  Jurgen Klinsmann - German
  Gordon Strachan - Scottish
  Mark Lawrenson - Irish
  Clarence Seedorf - Dutch
  Emmanuel Adebayor - Togolese
  Alan Hansen - Scottish
  David Moyes - Scottish
  Robbie Savage - Welsh
  Mick McCarthy - Irish
  Colin Murray - Irish
  
  English representaives will be:
  
  Gary Lineker
  Alan Shearer
  Lee Dixon
  Martin Keown
  Mark Bright
  Graham Taylor
  Chris Waddle
  Danny Mills
  
  To me, there is something rotten in the state of Denmark when more JF's will be offering their "expert opinion" than from the country actually playing.
  
  For example, South Africa will have one Brit, now domiciled in SA, Terry Paine (Southampton & England).
  Nigeria only Nigerians
  Ghana only Ghanaians
  Germany only Germans
  Holland only Dutch
  Argentina only Argentinians
  French only French
  Spanish only Spanish
  
  And so it goes on. How can the Beeb justify this imbalance, or if you prefer, bias, against English pundits. I for one don't care what any Jock says about my team. They are jealous to the point of warlike and hate the English with a passion. Do I want to hear Jurgen's opinions if we get to play Germany?
  
  With Sky filling their team with an acceptable number of blonde bimbos, I may be forced to watch the World Cup on ITV. But that means suffering the two great big occasion spongers Jim Rosenthal and Steve Ryder.
  
  What is a fan to do?
