Squad all British

[10-0 win]

So far our entire squad are British born, most in the championship have the odd foreigner or two. Any thoughts on our lack of imports. Coincidence or deliberet ?

Burnley fielded an all british team sunday, first since Blackpool 6 years ago in the premier league and only the second time in twelve years.

I personally don't give a damn either way. if we get the opportunity to strengthen the squad with players, I don't care if they're from Timbuktu - or Hillsborough - there, how's that for controversy!

I draw the line at Venezuelans. Bastards.

I know I'm livid at the thought of someone from Mali signing. Brexit my arse!

We do need a couple of French, a Belgian and a Slovakian to make it right.

 

[JordoBlade]

Nope.

Coincidence or deliberet ?

He's definitely not British, he sounds like a French mercenary that will be here only for the €€€

 

[10-0 win]

2016/17 season -none in the championship all british/Irish, Burton and Wigan with only one foreigner.

Lavery is Northern Irish but Canadien born

 

[10-0 win]

£ 4m tag on Ollie Watkins indicates direction of thread, there are players in other leagues better and cheaper. Ok hoovering lower leagues but wouldn't mind us looking elsewere too...

I know, calling JordoBlade a donkey raping shit eater was a bit harsh mate.

WWF will be spinning in his bed over this.

No irony lost on me that Burnley have an all British team, no one from outside the UK would be allowed to live in the area.

Surely Messi is Argentinian?

No, you're thinking of Lionel Messi. We're signing Keith Messi from Stavely Miners. He's a postman.

This thread reminds me of a certain Praise and Grumble moment when Robert Jackson was the host. Some bloke calls in and complains about the lack of English players playing in whatever League, citing his beloved piggery as a prime example of how many foreigners are playing there, specifically naming Carlton Palmer in his rant. Bob Jackson says "but Palmer's English" to which the reply was "well he dunt look bloody English to me"

Can you imagine that, 25 years or so later? The guy would be hung out to dry on anti-social media and probably stabbed on his way out of the Co-Op. I have to admit I pissed my pants laughing at the time.

Passive racism. It is the way of things.

beat me to it BB - I was going to add the same, only in my version he was called Ron Messi

Too right. I didn't vote leave so some fancy non-English speaking foreigner can come over here and start taking the place of good honest British footballers.




P.s. I didn't vote leave, just some quirky satire I'm trying out.

The routine needs work, and more material, and a re-write, and more punchy delivery and be more quirky. Apart from that it's not bad.
