What do you think of these findings by BBC Sport about English footballers? Only 170 of the 498 players in the Premiership who started matches in the 2007-08 season were English, compared to 191 in the 2006-07 season. How are we supposed to compete for the World Cup if we spurn our homegrown players? Should there be a cap on the number of foreign players in the English leagues? Thank You

benjoe021 replied: "Its the main reason our national team is c.rap. I do agree that there should be a cap on the amount of foreign players, and more time and effort spent on English talent, getting them through youth teams and the like."

hoover phonic replied: "if sepp blatter gets his way there will be. he wants a minimum of 4 home country players by 2010 5 players by 2011 6 players by 2012 arsenal are lobbying the EU as we speak lol never mind english players, the fact that an english manager has never won the prem is embarrassing. and i dont see how an english manager will win the prem any time soon. makes you wonder when england will have an english manager again"

Hair Supply replied: "There should be enough talents (at least 24 able bodied English) out of the 170 to come up with a decent national football team. There's something horribly wrong with the English system if it can't produce a winning squad."

danny t replied: "yes.definitely.it narrows the development of our international team when potentially great english players cannot get 1st team experience ."

marine_biologist2005 replied: "yes there should be a cap!"

23CARRA replied: "You have a point, but with... David James Paul Robinson Chris Kirkland Robert Green Gary Neville Micah Richards Rio Ferdinand John Terry Ledley King Jonathan Woodgate Ashley Cole Wayne Bridge Jermaine Pennant Aaron Lennon David Beckham Shaun Wright-Phillips David Bentley Gareth Barry Michael Carrick Owen Hargreaves Kevin Nolan Steven Gerrard Frank Lampard Kieren Dyer Scott Parker Jermain Jenas Stewart Downing Joe Cole Wayne Rooney Peter Crouch Darren Bent Jermain Defoe Gabriel Agbonlahor ...I think it's fair to say that we still have more than enough talent to be competing for major honours! I don't think we need a cap on foreign players just yet."

John s replied: "ENGLAND SUCK!!! sorry for being a jerk pal but they really do why? no dedication and discipline like some have for their club"

Tony BinEye replied: "There should be a cap on foreign players, definitely! It is the ONLY way our football is going to develop. FIFA should also make it a rule that countries that have had a football league for, say 25 years, MUST have an National team manager of their own nationality! Foreign managers of National teams should only be allowed in countries where football is in it's infancy. Winning should always be the very top priority, but not at any cost! National teams have players from that particular country, and the manager should also be from the same country! Otherwise it's NOT a National Team. That's fundamental! Can you ever see Germany, Italy or France, for instance, hiring a foreign manager? May I say at this point that I am NOT a raving Nationalist! I am an immigrant, of a kind. Sorry to go off the point, but I feel very strongly about that!"

titus replied: "I think most, including myself, are in agreement with you. Unfortunately it is not going to happen. If i recall correctly Blatters 6 + 5 idea has been given the red card by the EU, and UEFAs idea is seen as a more favourable suggestion. Unfortunately, as Blatter has pointed out, UEFAs idea could mean clubs recruiting foreigners at a really early age. and will not go any further to solving this problem. We have the talent what we havent got is great competition for the places available, when we get that then maybe the rest would follow."

kookykola replied: "Brian McClair had an interesting opinion about English - or British- kids for that matter. If I had a nintendo Wii at home when I was young, I would probably not have gone out to play football on a rainy day. So with England having one of the highest individual income -i think- in Europe, its quite normal that countries like portugal would produce more talents. So, usually the poorer the country, the more likely it will produce talents if it has a footballing culture ingrained within. By the way, you'll notice that most world class talents (Zidane, Henry, etc...) of France come from disenfranchised regions... England is also considering building a world-class academy on the model of Clairefontaine's (where virtually all of France's bestest young talent get to mingle and progress at a very early stage of their career), but the project is at a stop because of administative quibbles."

DAME CAROLYN of ARSENAL replied: "As an Arsenal supporter i dont agree with limiting the amount of Foreign Players ...........!!! On a serious note, i can see this actually happening, which for the future of the English team will be a positive thing, but for teams like Arsenal its possible, because their is a number of English in the Arsenal Academy and at Grass Roots level which Arsenal sponsers in the South East, so if the law does come in to force, IT IS possible for Arsenal in the future."

R R replied: "we have loads of english keepers playing he just decided to pick robinson ahead of james and green we have one of the best left backs in the world we the best set of center backs in the world we have hargreaves gerrard lampard who are part of the heart in three of the best clubs in the best league we have owen one of the best players we have ever produced and then we have players like ashton ashley young bently micah richards coming through with an exellent pool to chose from. they all play in the best league in the world most play for the top teams and the english in man u chelsea and liverpool if you include carragher are as important as the foreigners. just disgraceful management cost us, great decisions like taking walcot but not playing him when we needed a striker. dropping a 22 year old keeper into a pressure cooker changing tactics twice against the best team in are group."

How can I listen to BBC Sport overseas? I do not understand proxy servers. Are there sites that feed this as the BBC site blocks all live games to people outside of the UK. If you know anywhere or can provide easy instructions I would be most appreciative. Thanks :-)

Gordon R replied: "bbc is a public funded station....u dont pay u dont get to use they also only have rights to provide media for uk not overseas dont know if will work for u....you can only try"

If you look on BBC sport, footall and go to the live scores, besides each match is a letter or pair of letters? What do they mean? I gather HT means half time, FT means full time, but what about L and R? Does L mean late kick off? Thanks Thanks Hannah, spot on, I'll do you for best answer when I work out how to do it!

..Hannah..UK.. replied: "L - latest score, i.e. they're still playing; R - result, i.e. they finished playing a long time ago."

soccer! replied: "L means latest score. R means that the game is finished"

mal replied: "l=latest r result......... from an earlier kick off......................"

Who should win the BBC sport's personality of the year award? It's getting close(ish) Not forgetting only British and Irish sport's men and women qualify for the main awards. The 'overseas' and 'coach' is open to all others My choices Main award - Chris Hoy overseas - Michael Phelps Team - British Olympic and Paralympic teams Young personality - Eleanor Simmonds (paralympic swimmer) The others I'll still have to think about other awards: unsung hero (public nomination) Helen Rollason Award (success through adversity - open to all) coach of the year (open to all) Lifetime achievement (open to all)

Mikey C replied: "as long as Andy Murry doesn't win the main one I'm happy. He has no personality. As for lifetime achievement perhaps Alex Ferguson coach errr well the British Olympic cycling team's (sorry forgotten his name)"

Theme song of BBC Sport IAAF Osaka 2007? Anybody know the theme song played at the end of the BBC sport IAAF Osaka commentary programme last week. The theme song is always played at the end of America's next top model when the girl's picture fades out every episode. Please this drives me insane to get the theme title.

Misha replied: "America's Next Top Model Theme Artist: Darkchild feat. Tyra Banks"
