Got to feel for these poor sods. Trapped for so long and now they’ll have to go and watch the rags play at Old Toilet.

They’ll be in more danger sat in the swamp!

ps: ok, gala stadium is still good. but nothing can be compared with those times. it was something different and aytihng never will be like that. they are right, if it was today, those games can not be played. it is criminal.. believe me :))

Great story my friend but most of that is simply not correct.
Could Possibly be linked to mainland Europe Celtic language and people though.
There was no J in the Welsh language until recent times and no such place Turkije in Wales.
Happy to be wrong though :-)

is it possibly a connection to Llanelli Turks? I've no idea how they gained the nickname btw.

Chirk, has a great football tradition (Billy Meredith) and would possibly transliterate?

Already talk of Mainoo going to the Euros. Laughable.

I thought he was decent but he's not fit to lace Rico's boots as it stands.

Let’s face it. If he’s any good, he’ll end up at a big club.

What time are they presenting the 'greatest goal ever scored in history' trophy to Garnacho?

I can think of a few goals better than that in the PL era. Wilshire vs Norwich and Giroud's scorpion finish vs Palace I saw both live and both were better and that's just from 1 team!

Apparently a lot of Turkish traders in the Llanelli Docks circa early 19th Century!!!!

yes... one hint... check for daniel defoe (18th i think century) (robinson).... he is kind a turk. (from romania)
and check for what a turk is at the end of 18th century and start of 19th...
being a turk became popular those times because of daniel defoe as far as i ve heard. no reference only ""altundal". not my major. cheers.
ps: turk is very very opposite to a mainstream religion... thats for sure....
turks are different... :))))
