Perhaps I'm being dense, but do you have any analysis of these lists to share? Or are you just pointing out that there are lots of different nationalities in the league?

Liverpool's

[Balham's Finest]

looking at Arsenal's team on Wiki they have...

2 Polish

6 French

2 German

1 Belgian

1 Czech

2 Spanish

1 South Korean

1 Dutch

1 Brazilian

7 English

1 Welsh

1 Cameroon

1 Swiss

1 Russian

1 Italian

1 Finnish

1 Ivory Coast

1 Moroccan

not to mention a Costa Rican, a Japanese and another Brazilian out on loan

 

Netherlands, Morocco and Russia almost certainly on the way out (possibly Cameroon too, but I hope not) - that brings things down a bit!

 

Italian and South Korean unlikely to play a single minute of PL football. Also, they've counted Carl Jenkinson as Finnish, which is tenuous. He has dual nationality and has played for both nations' youth teams.

Yes - that type of diversity of nationalities isn't too atypical of the top teams these days (in the Premier League, at any rate).

 

I remember the old days...the UEFA Cup final of 1984, when every player bar one in the Spurs squad was English. Not British....English. The exception was a Scot.

 

 

i remember United in the early 90's having trouble in Europe with the 3 forigners rule, they used to leave big Peter Schmiecal out alot

[Whizzer]

The last time I was a serious footie fan, almost the entire Arsenal team was Irish (or Northern Irish);

 

Jennings, Rice, Stapleton, O'Leary, Devine, Brady, etc.

This is a little corner of the UK.... not U.S.

 

Take your padded peanut hugging discussion to the WC!

 

I was about to say...

 

However the Yanks in the WC know way more than us about their game. It'd be nice not to have Tim (God bless 'im) get all hoity on us when we're having an NFL discussion.

 

Tim is a Liverpool fan, he's going to give his opinion whether you want it or not

 

Liverpool are 33-1 to win the league this year, for those who know nothing about gambling it means if you put £50 on, you will lose £50

 

Classic

I do happen to have those albums too, you know.

[Comicopolis]

Sorry - forgot you had some decent tastes in music as well as funky pantaloons

[goldust40]

I do have da funk. In my pants.

 

My brother and I were discussing early Simple Minds the other day...we agreed they were the most underrated band of their era.

Absolutely - they lost the plot once they tried to crack the American market.

You're possibly talking about the 'Street Fighting Years' album here ?

As if trophies and winning is what football is all about.

 

It's about years of bitter disappointment and misery.

 

Up the Boro.
