Don't forget the sweaty socks
I thought about including them, but felt he'd probably consider them to be borderline English.
Don't forget the sweaty socks
Not forgetting our American shirt and stadium sponsors.
As far as international football goes, our manager is Irish and assistant manager Scottish.
... In my opinion all English teams should be required to have a minimum number of say five English players in the squad for every league game.
Last ENGLISH team left in the Champions League. Not a whole lot that's English about them.
Owners: Arab
Shirt and Stadium sponsor: Arab
Manager: Italian
Starting XI: ONE English player, Hart.
Bench: One English player.
It's a bloody joke. I'm supporting PSG.
I know it's the same with many other premier league team, but none worse than City.
Chris Hughton, capped 58 times by the Republic of Ireland, do you mean?

...and thus are as English as Sunday roasts and loving a good queue.
I agree to a point. None of the so-called 'English' teams actually represent England in any meaningful sense and I long ago gave up supporting them in Euriope. A shame as I remember the European nights of the Sixties and Seventies when we'd all become Liverpool, Forest, Man U, etc fans for the night as a match between, say, Liverpool and Bayern Munich really was Britain vs Germany. Now as you say given the ownership, management and playing staff they're about as 'English' as the Vatican. But why support PSG? They're even less English! (And they're not very French either).
British or English? Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Liverpool win one of their European Cups with one Englishman and the rest from other parts of the British Isles, and mainly from Scotland?
Don't think so. The likes of Keegan, Smith, Neal, the two Kennedys, Hughes, Clemence and co. were around in the 1970's and 80s, and even in 2005 they had Gerrard and Carragher. Plus Lawrenson, who, like Hughton, is about as Irish as Jack Charlton was!
Anyway, British (as opposed to just English) is fine by me.
Strange analogy, as Hughton has one Irish parent, whereas Jack Charlton was employed as a manager.
