Not sure I'm bothered, particularly.
Now, a team all born within 15 miles of the Old Steine that went on and did a Celtic - then I would be impressed!
Could Brighton be first club in prem to play 11 British players?

He plays football for our team. He openly supports the man that masterminded the murder of our men, women and children, calling him an hero. He showed complete disrespect by tweeting this fact whilst playing and living in this country. I think supporting the vile murderer of innocents makes him a ****. You think I'm a **** for that and that he is 'one of ours.' Bizarre.
Cool. Being a **** could be my way to getting my EU passport back after Brexit. Thanks for the advice.

I'm not saying being Irish makes him a ****. I have Irish blood. I am saying supporting the man that gave the command to murder innocent British citizens makes him a ****. I know that innocent Irish people were killed by some on the British side and I certainly wouldn't call anyone involved in such heinous crimes, whichever side of the conflict they were on, an hero. As for being a **** to get your EU passport back, you shouldn't worry. You are,if anything, overqualified.

Playing 443?
If that's true. Good knowledge!

Just had a check and Burnley's Xl included 10 English-born players. Only Livingston-born Scott Arfield stopped it being all-English

I like this definition, means being born in Worthing Hospital I can play. Where do I sign?
I'm available
Free agent, no signing fee and £500 a week.
Bargain.
I suspect you're both conveniently missing the bit about emulating Celtic's team of local lads!

Well I'm not local right now.
But I wouldn't say no to a private jet and a car waiting for me at Gatwick.
Guess that's you out then!

Something similar to Athletic Bilbao maybe
Since its foundation, Athletic has played exclusively with players meeting the criteria to be deemed as Basque players, and has been one of the most successful teams of La Liga. This can be seen as a unique case in European football; it has gained Athletic both admirers and critics. The club has been praised for promoting home grown players and club loyalty.
Now you mention it, yes, I do vaguely remember reading about that years ago. Are they still sticking to it? - good for them if they are!
