ExiledAjax Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 How would you like it described? Both clubs are based in England and play in the English league system. It's a match being played by two English teams. Players and managers may hail from elsewhere, but they are transient, the physical location of the clubs is fixed. If you disagree then what is your threshold and criteria for it to be acceptable to refer to a team as being "from" a certain nation? Is Bristol City an "English" club? We are owned by an Englishman...but he lives in the Channel Islands. Our squad this season just gone included 11 players of either sole or dual nationality that is not English - is that ok or does that stop us being English? Our two top scorers are from Bermuda and Senegal. If you really want to complain about the choice of language then fair enough, but it seems a little trivial.

How many of the players will be representing England in the upcoming Euro's? 2 clubs based in England. Not rocket science is it? I think the top teams have a reasonably high representation of home grown players compared to some recent years. We’ve seen Arsenal not name a single English player, and maybe 1 or 2 would have been in the squads for this sort of game. 19 hours ago, The Journalist said: Brexit means Brexit IMO.

I agree it's great to see fans at football events again enjoying themselves without any trouble but the only problem is the majority wouldn't have had a vaccine yet and who knows how many could be carrying the virus unless they have to quarantine when they return. Not sure about those man bags creeping in with the fashion tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spoke to a Man City fan. In total it's four tests. 72 hours before travel; on arrival; on return back to home; and 72 hours after return. Also apparently Sheikh Mansour paid for every ticket, and paid for every flight (or chartered a bunch of emirates planes to fly them all over).
