Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 King Carrot, didn't the doctor tell you to finish all the pills before posting again? In our squad at the moment: Moloney, Williams, Cunningham & McLaughlin (Irish), Kelly & Pearson (Scottish), Kilkenny (Australian), Elliott (Jamaican), Burns & Morrell (Welsh) and Jordan (New Zealand) Oh yeah, Dariusz Dziekanowski was Polish. So STFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Wish it was that easy. The guy who plays for West Brom, who came here as a refugee when he was 10, he shouldn't play then? Leroy Lita came here at 5 is he "English" enough? I do find the spectacle of England trying to get the Man U kid pretty nauseating and would hate us to be like Ireland, making up fictitious grandparents to steal players, but England born only would have meant Terry Butcher say couldn't have played just because his Mum was in Singapore at the time of his birth. Ever see him play? Think he wasn't "English" enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 If someone who has moved here for a long time came out and said 'I am English' then that's fine.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Wilshire is right. What's the point of having international football otherwise? You might as well have an England XI or England Allstars like the Harlem Globetrotters otherwise and just pick whoever you want. I don't want foreign mercenaries I want an English team made up from English players, and of we never win anything it's because we are not good enough, not because we didn't bend the rules.

If England (Or Scotland, Wales, N Ireland for that matter) cant get a decent team with those rules, which due to four home nations, are waaaay more generous than any other country, then its down to English players not having the hunger needed.Dont see too many English bitching about Barnes, Hargreaves, Holtby in football, let alone the cricket or rugby teams. I take it you dont like Mo Farah representing England? or Christine Ohurugu? Or Leeeroy when he did?Actually as an immigrant to this country from all four home nations backgrounds (in Englands case my Mother was Bristol born, (and left the night the Nazi's blitzed Bristol), I find your whole arguement is pathetic.

Cunnyfunt Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Jack Wilshire: "We have to remember what we are. We are English. We tackle hard, are tough on the pitch and are hard to beat. "We have great characters. You think of Spain and you think technical but you think of England and you think they are brave and they tackle hard. We have to remember that" So our identity is basically a bunch of cloggers who seldom do well in tournament footy as opposed to the Spanish who play the right way and win things. Brilliant.

I think of Spain - winners I think of England - overrated, overpaid, having a smoke in a nightclub hours after a game I just don't get the hype about Wilshere, and the fact it's him flapping his gums about this just makes it worse.
