Never knew that. Fortunately the question didn't come up on Eggheads ;)

So why are they called The Dutch?

Believe it or not, Deutsch is a derivative of it, and they both came from an Old High German word that meant “of the people”. It basically referred to the people from the German speaking parts of the continent (Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands in those days).

Old English speakers were very inventive.

That's a subsection of the 'Someone gets in trouble with the law'

Deutsch actually comes from the word Dutch, rather than the other way round! Way back when all “German speakers” were called Dutch, but over time the ones from from the area that is now Germany came to be known as Deutsch, whilst Dutch stuck for the area that is now the Netherlands.

I just can't get my head around having a manager (8 years in the fucking job) who publicly says he wants his team to press, and not drop deep defensively. Yet his team don't press, and do drop deep defensively, game after game.

The mind boggles, just hope we fluke it on a bit of individual brilliance.

Feels like 28 years

That article actually backs up my explanation.

“Dutch” comes from the Old High German “diutisc”, which meant “of the people”. Dutch, for Middle English speakers predates Deutsch as a term for people from the German-speaking area of the continent.

Good luck tonight England from Cymru.
I will be rooting for you.

Bellamy a good choice

Trippier is the better bet as Shaw hasn't played any meaningful football since February.

Debatable
