    I'd settle for the Welsh clubs getting expelled from the English Premier League.
    Banning people is no longer my hobby,
    but take a look at my photo blog:

    How and why did I start supporting QPR in Estonia:

      Totally agree. The people of Wales voted for devolved sports matters, it should be extended to their football teams. Wales has its own premier league anyway.
      Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.

        Amazing how they get away with all the anti English stuff but we allow them to play in our league . If they are so anti English then perhaps they should **** off back to the valleys

          Yep, send Cardiff and Swansea and the others back to the land of their fathers.

                Of course they are. I meant send them from the English football structure back to the Welsh football leagues

                  I can understand people wanting an English premier league, but for me, i think what makes the whole set-up more exciting is that there is a potential for surprise with players. Look at bargains like Michu, Ronaldo and Eriksen, these signings would not have been possible if we restricted the amount of foreign players. No one would dare take the risk of wasting one of their foreign spots on someone they are unsure about. Could you imagine if we didn't have these players in our league and what the English equivalent would have been.

                    So no more Aguero, Suarez, Van Persie but more James Milner and Tom Cleverley?

                      I don't recall it being a huge issue until they reached the top leagues, and then everyone starts getting resentful that they've overreached.

                      I couldn't care less, they've been in the English league setup as long as can remember, why make a fuss about it now, it just looks like sour grapes.

                        Times have changed. There never used to be the millennium stadium nor the Welsh Premier League.

                        And neither was there the Welsh Assembly which has taken devolved powers, such as sport. Remember, the people of Wales VOTED for that.

                        Perhaps you'd like to invite a number of Scottish clubs to replace English clubs in the four divisions?

                          Ok here's another question....

                          Would you rather England win a major tournament or keep the set up the same?

                          Because that's what all this boils down to. If the clubs put money before country then they'll keep it the same, and let's face it most of, if not all of the big clubs are owned by foreigner's any way they would rather keep it as it is and bring over sea's players in and make money out of their names and advertising.

                          If we want to win a major tournament, then there has to be a cap on the amount of foreigner's there is at a club.

                          For me, I would rather England won a major tournament and constantly be at the top of the world rankings.

                              No. Don't be silly.

                              On a related note, I hope if Scotland do nick off we get a redesigned Union Flag which has some representation for Wales on it. The BBC had an article recently with some suggestions.

                              This, or something along these lines, might work



                              Or this really ugly one



                              Or maybe retaining the original, and just adding a Welsh flavour...
