Fugazi Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Late to the party but didn’t realise we had 11 different nationals starting for us 14 including the subs that came on I read that it's the 6th time it's happened in the Prem, previous 5 all in 2011 and either Arsenal or West Brom.

pinkeye Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Talksport saying that it is the first time a team has fielded 14 different nationalities in an English Premier League game. One for the trophy cabinet... Funny, me and my son were talking about this at the kick off on Saturday. He started the topic by saying we were starting a match with not a single English player in our 11. It didn't occur to me that everyone in the starting 11 were of different nationalities though.... ( recognize that Hayden is English and came on as a sub ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Watched the full game back yesterday and I thought we were better in the second half than it seemed from listening to it. We defended well mostly, and always looked dangerous when we won the ball and broke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I feel so small right now.... Want to feel a tad worse? Scotch is a drink (and a damn fine one at that), its Scots or Scottish to describe the natives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Actually, according to the English, i.e. Oxford English Dictionary, pinkeye isn't wrong. Usage The use of Scotch to mean ‘relating to Scotland or its people’ is disliked by Scottish people and is now uncommon, although it survives in fixed expressions like Scotch egg and Scotch whisky. For more details, see Scottish Origin Late 16th century: contraction of Scottish. The Scotch people just don't like it, boo hoo to them :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Factually Clark is Irish, Dummet is Welsh and Richie is Scotch but, take your points.... (British....) Ritchie is English, born and raised on the South coast, he qualifies for Scotland due to the grandparent rule. Dummett is also English, again plays for Wales due to the grandparent rule.
