This isn't intended to be xenophobic or "racist" but it recently occurred to me the transformation of the team makeup.

Under Sam we had such incredible talent as Jay Jay, Campo, Hierra, N'Gotty...I could go on!

Against Everton, our starting eleven was :

Jussi (Finland)

Ricketts (Wales), Cahill (England), Knight (England), Robinson (England)

Elmander (Sweden), M Davies (England), Holden (USA, Scotland born?), Taylor (England)

K Davies (England), Sturridge (England)

It was quite surprising to be honest, Jussi and Elmander aside (and lets be honest, Jussi speaks English better than most English people nowdays) we had 9 English speaking players!

I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make, just that it was surprising to realise. I was told recently we're a team of "foreign thugs". At least one part of that is now DEFINITELY wrong.

When was it we didn't have a single English player start a game?

Wonder if it's anything to do with the new home-grown squad rules...?

Utterly off top of head, I reckons Sunderland away the year West Ham went down. No research whatsoever.

As for current situation. Couldn't give two shits as long as we're winning.

Mostly white too. Should hear the commentary over here.
"Elmander shoots! No, it's Taylor."
"Taylor tackled by... No it's Davies."

Whole new meaning to "You White Men"

Just to say... there is no longer a 'third world' - no big deal, but the designation no longer works... First world - capitalist... Second world - 'communist'... (This is where the designations come from) - 'Third World' - the rest, usually poor and under-developed that the other two competed for...

But I'd also like to know who TANGO's 3rd world best player is...

Mark Davies. He's from the Black Country, isn't he?

Seriously??? Please, please tell me it's true...

Muamba I'd guess. Defo fits the 'classic' description.

You don't live in the UK then William? Armed gangs roaming the streets robbing, commie infiltraitors in the yoof movement, foreign soldiers in every town, law making handed to the french and germans!!
thank god we still got nukes as a last resort they should make some bugger sit up and take notice.
Give Europe the finger, they don't really like us and the feeling is totally mutual

wouldn't having a team of englishmen be good for the england team ? anyway the value of english players are better on the market, so we might be sitting on a goldmine.
