To make it even more remarkable

Post by cricketfieldclarets » Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:15 am

We did it with this eleven.

9 Englishmen. I wonder when the last time a team with 9 Englishmen won at Old Trafford. And you can include the home side in that!

I'm surprised BT or MOTD didn't pick up on the home-grown nature of our squad. Mind you, Rio F would have probably gone into a Ringo-esque meltdown on hearing that.

It probably was the home side. With home grown players. Now they get rid of em all so they can spoff £70m up the wall (+£1m week wages) for failures.

It's good though as the give clubs like us chance to get their cast offs and turn them against them.

Pretty much all proper northern lads too except Pope and Cork.

Tarkowski is a pretty exotic name. And then of course we have the Austrian, Barnes.
