No Collins ?
Some damn fine names in there …… but Makasi instead of Collins?
23 man squad, with only 7 home grown players; sums up nicely why we’re in trouble; no British back-bone in the team, just a squad of so-so, over-priced foreign journeyman. This is also an analagy of why the English football team will never be a force, and why the Premiership is losing so many TV viewers in this country. And before anyone calls me a racist / bigot, I am of mixed race and am married to a foreigner!!
Being mixed race and married to a foreigner is no proof at all that somebody is or isn’t a racist.
sign of the times fugmaster if you worry someone might think you are a racist bigot for simply wanting to see more homegrown players in an English football team in the English premier league.
