City, the saviours of English Football?

[Dodge]

Just watching the Brentford and Spuds teams trotting out with a grand total of THREE English players in the 22 starters, only one from North London.

Our strongest 11 has FOUR England STARTERS, maybe 7 who would make waistcoats squad. Our academy is developing the next generation of English talent. Our ladies team has always formed the backbone of our national team.

With slabhead leaving the swamp, the Rags provide 3 at best. The scousers maybe 2. The Tarquins, with the signing of Rice, just the 2. Chavski, depending on whoever comes through the revolving door, maybe Sterling and Reece James?

I remember a gleeful MartinTyler once proclaiming, as City walked out for a Derby match "here come City without a single Mancunian in the team, in fact not a single Englishman".

No club seems to get called out for it anymore. No-one questions the lack of English players in the so-called big 6. No journalists seem to give a flying fuck.

I wonder why that is?

That’s because most of the media are cunts

Same way as no mention of 5 City Graduates taking part in Burnley v City, there are very few professional enough these days in the media who cannot report anything positive about us and are just click bait red top loving people

Liverpool name 1 English player in their starting 11...

*correction* he's scouse, so as they are an independent nation, he doesn't qualify.

“There is nothing English about City.” Simon Jordan. (Who else?)
5 City players were in the England squad the next week: Philips, Foden, Stones, Walker, Grealish. With those five plus Lewis, McAtee and Palmer City are well stocked with Englishmen.

They make me puke, these media rats.

Racist cunts, appealing to racist notions. Football is an international game now, certainly at the top level. And who can deny that non-English players have made a gigantic contribution to the English game?

City try to have around 33% local and 33% British players in every Academy team.

Chelsea have five today, to be fair to them.

You were obviously out of the office when the memo went around about us ruining football since 2008.

Chelsea: Chillwell, Colwell, James and Sterling?
