2006 was British ownership, British management, and British coaching, and a majority British squad and supporters. If only Steve Coppell and Mad Dog were interested, what a dream team.

It requires some manipulation of who you count as squad to make it majority British in 2005/2006. If you take the top 11 by appearance then it's not majority British, If you take the 25 players who played at least 1 game that season, it's 13-12 British. So not exactly a massive majority. If you take the players who played at least 5 games, it's again majority non-British. And if you take the entire squad (i.e., including the likes of Federici who never played) it's also majority non-British. So there's only one way of counting that gives you a majority of British players, and only by the tiniest possible margin.

You wouldn't be claiming Irish players as British, would you? I mean, that would be inherently imperialist, so you'd never, right...
I suppose you could claim, say, Stack and Cox as British since they were born in England but played for Ireland. But that makes Lita non-British then, as he wasn't born in the UK. Same with Curtis Osana. Overall, make no difference.

On the other hand, this years squad is majority British (counting all those who have numbers). Similarly, of the 28 players who have played at least one game so far, it's majority British. Going by place of birth, it swings even more towards overall British. It's only by restricting your count to those who've played Championship games only (i.e., not league cup) AND by counting the likes of, say, Rinomhota as non-British (as he's been called up for Zimbabwe) that you can wriggle your way to a majority non-British team, and again it's only by a sliver.

So as well as being racist, you also can't count.


Yes, The last time I looked at a map Ireland had not detached itself, not floated off, its always been part of the British Isles.


Then you really are a fcuking twat aren't you?

Yeah, you've already shown you're a fukwit repeatedly, no need to immediately confirm it again.

Ah right. Yes of course, the original Britons were the Celts. In Irish, Welsh is Breatnais, i.e., British.
English is Sasanach - Saxonish

I now understand your comment about Chris Gunter. However sadly, I don't think the team has ever been full of Celts, it's been overrun by Anglo-Saxons for donkeys years.

Kick out all the Anglo-Saxons, just have Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Scottish and Breton players (Come back Yann!), and then we'll be grand.

As a post script to this thread I think Danjuma is probably the fastest left-winger in this division so Holmes may well have struggled just as much as Esteves did , particularly in the second half (he did ok in the first).

Hopefully Yiadom will come back fit and firing so the debate about Esteves v Holmes can go away for the time being.

Tbh, I think I prefer Araruna to all three. Solid defender, crisp passer, not too cavalier and a beautiful cross on him. Doesn't want to cut inside and run at the box all the time.

Ahh, I see who you mean yes Kermo great player. Yann Alain Kermorgant, he might qualify but only if his ancestors also lived here, and that their bones or remains were buried/interred/burnt/ lost within these islands. Otherwise no, please don't come back we are full..

Watching a bit of them vs Forest, Bournemouth have absolutely rinsed forest’s RHS as well. He’s clearly a top player, as is Brooks
