Am I the only one, that doesn't give a damn, about a players nationality or religion? Don't get me wrong, I'd like there to be a big portion of British players, given where the club is based, and from a personal standpoint, I'd love to see an American there (Spector, why did you have to suck?!? )

If you can play, you can play. End of story.

However, it is true that sometimes when a manager
has to chose between an English born and bred chap that might have
grown up at the club and a foreign chap who's trying to gain confidence
and find his feet he's more liable to pick the foreigner for a variety of
reasons.

Maybe its time for English people to realize they aren't God's gift to football. After all, your talent can't be that immense if you didn't qualify for the Euros. There's acres more foreign talent out there, mostly due to the fact, that there are 200+ more countries to get talent from aside from England, and its a global game.
