No English players in our starting line up vs Burnley!

[MICK PATCHAM]

yeah man cos like theyres no such thing as english is there man.... we are all just the same just one rainbow nation with no differences whatsover , imagine theres no countries it isnt hard to do ........pass the sick bucket

 

[HastingsSeagull]

We would normally play 6 in starting line up!

AEA is ENGLISH he plays for Egypt. I am English but could play for Ireland...... doesn't make me Irish in the slightest, never even been there or met a single Irish relative.

Our bench is virtually ALL English and nearly every player who rotate into the side is English

 

[MICK PATCHAM]

so would it be racist if any other fans from another nation asked the same question ? id wager not

read in Saturdays paper that over a million English were fathered by Romans during the occupation of the first 500 years AD. Should we DNA test all English players in our squad? Then some of us can say our team is even more cosmopolitan and others can say its even more foreign. Orlandi may not be our only Italian.

Orlandi might not be our only Aborigine either.

 

[Waynflete]

Everyone seems very prickly this morning! I think it's interesting how many foreign players we have now. And surely any accusations of racism are firmly tongue in cheek.

puerile

From the Latin puerilis. It is obviously over your head. I suggest you read A Short History of the World by H G Wells. The report issued tomorrow on genetic lineage could lead to a rephrasing of Caesars words to Vidi, Vinci, Veni!

I reeled you in. Orlandi is Italian. It's an old thread and Cliff Richard is Indian otherwise.

Interesting. Particularly as there were no 'English' here or anywhere in those times. Which rag was that?

 

[Baaaald]

Why are you moaning?? We won the frigging game. We are sixth and flying..

 

[severnside gull]

He's still English. He was born in Brighton and has always lived here.

Horsham.


I said the same as you on a site tour and he told me otherwise

The million English are here today. Their fathers are ancestral fathers. The genetic lineage traces their DNA to roman ancestry. The rag was and still is The Daily Telegraph. I only bought it for the crossword.

Ah, splitting hairs but I wouldn't say that the Romans fathered a million English. More that some of their DNA survives in the inhabitants of this island. Fathered conveys a more direct involvement.

Not that I mind, the way I tan I could be mistaken for an Italian anyway!

Odd fellow

 

[The Birdman]

That's why we need the academy ?we need to produce a couple of players a season?

Roman Legionnaires? We would have to wait 16+ years for the results but could be worth a go.

Think it was the first time for years that both team line ups did not have one black player on the field,I think one of the Burnley subs was the first one at about 65 mins.

This was what we commented on too.

 

[We've signed Kanchelskis!]

When Sam Vokes finished his half-time warm up he greeted the Albion players as they came out for the second half. It shows you how far we have moved on in only a year, as he could only acknowledge Dicker and El-abd - Along with Vicente, only 3 players that started yesterday played last season

Now that is racist!
