That’s what I mean. Need at least a couple.

Throw in Dawson and Johnson and although he plays for Jamaica Antonio is as English as you and me.

Reminds me when Chelscum were playing in the FA CUP final in 96 and their sponsor, Lurpack, placed an ad in the newspaper from which a "foreign phase" was listed for all of the Chelsea's players and Manager....at the bottom of the ad was....

"Oh and Good luck to Dennis Wise and Scott Minto"

Just looked it up. Turns out I had the right game, wrong year. Chelsea v saints 1999.

Arsenal were first to have no players including subs all foreign in 2005

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
Be a bit sad but end of the day that’s the modern game in the PL, its International.

We may have a few more English players than some other clubs but with the PL as the best and richest league in the world attracting the worlds best players its always going to happen, the big loser is English (International) football IMO, they may have “home grown” quotas etc but as we saw with Rob Green joining Chelsea a couple of years ago, it means fuck all really, needs to apply to starting line ups, but then the quality of football would slip down, hopefully in the short term only but im not sure we produce enough talent if say each team had to put out at least 4 or 5 English(British) players, would also detract from the PL having to field a certain amount of players from the home nations, then teams may struggle if English players got injured, play a shit one just to keep the quota but have some top draw fully fit foreigner sat on the bench

Mad dog. First to do it was Arsenal and Wenger took a bit of a pasting by the press for it

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
I’d be ok with it myself. Sure we’d still have Rice and Nobes playing anyways

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
Would I prefer the eleven worst Englishmen (by position) to play for West Ham to the eleven best non-Englishmen?

No.

BTW, who would be in those teams?

Mad Dog 12:19 Wed Feb 23
Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
I.want.that.one
Chelsea first all foreign starting 11
Arsenal first foreign entire team + subs.

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
I remember a "606" caller said that that particular Arsenal team sounds like a "Wine List".

Alfs 2:14 Wed Feb 23
Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
I'd like a league where you could only play British players + maybe 3 non British. I'm sure there used to be a rule like that back in the day.

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
Didn’t this happen before at the LS, possibly in a League Cup match? I remember stating to the Mrs that we didn’t have any English or British players on the pitch.

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
I really think this is irrelevant these days.

If we are 5-0 up on Sunday with no British players,i wont be wishing for a different set of players just fir the sake of having a couple of 'our own'.

Its all a long way off from when we were the last team to win the FA cup with 11 English players.

WestArt 2:28 Wed Feb 23
Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
Of the 24 players involved that day (inc. subs), 23 were English!

Another world.....

Re: How would you feel watching a West Ham team with no English or British players
Don't give a shit as long as they were good.
An all English 11 would be 11 Mark Nobles playing hoofball, sooner cut leg off than go back to that
