*smokes the "We're still coming first" pipe* I must say Mitch, it's a rather fine pipe.  You will, and I repeat, will, be crying like a little school girl when Chelsea overtake you and win the league again, which they will. |

Thought so. There you go jw, there was one Pom in the line-up. And just to embarass you further, he scored in that match!   |

ok tiger, your right there. probably didn't know the name but as you see at arsenal they are playing the majority of overseas players. isnt the fa bringing in a 5 or 6 local player cap on the epl in the near future .

ok , very technical issue that - so in a nutshell there is no limitation when a team walks on the pitch now that a percentage of players should be from that country of the league that they are playing in

yeah - can't restrict against EU players. not an issue in non-eu leagues though, unless they're in a cooperative labour arrangement (as NZ might form with australia sometime in the future).

The sooner they piss off and all play each other 10x a season in their super league the better. Leave the real football clubs to get on with the game.
As for the last all English side....................Always been lots of Welsh,Scots & Irish so probably never.

Gunners had an all English team in early 90's (93-94?) for sure.

Bolton always have 1 bad month every season where they get nearly no points and i think it's january this season. Yes Bolton getting flogged this morning was not the thing i wanted to wake up to. Diouf is an absolute idiot i cant believe he plays for a team that has limited amount of w**kers and should have his contract ripped up. As a member of the Bolton forum we are all up in arms at this result. But the thing is we are still 5th and that still makes the UEFA Cup and for a little club that shows how much we've grow in the last few years. Also i believe we have finished in the top 8 for the last 3 seasons in a row so we are one of the most consistant teams in the league and to say that people would consider a 'crisis' at bolton when we are still 5th is something i never would have imagined. Come On Bolton Come on Bolton |
