    Are you saying that racial stereotyping is a good thing then?
    What will any new players themselves think of the stuff on Millersmad, from the usual suspects? Just hope that they are not reading it
    I'm glad that the Nigerian community have you to speak for them.

    Anthony Joshua was born in Watford but he still has a map of Nigeria tattooed on his arm.

    People with roots in common will flock together, the nationality really isn't important though, the important thing is that cliques don't develop and there is more of a risk of that when there's a group of people from the same place, they could be French or Italian and you have the same risk.

    Wolves are doing OK with all the Portuguese players but at PSG there was a divide between the Brazilian players and the others.

    Only played 5 times last season. Not played at all this season? We trust in Warne not to have brought another crock to the club, only time will tell.

    Welcome to RUFC Hakeeb Adelakun and trust you stay fit and well while with us. Good luck for tomorrow.

    I think it would have to be a Shetland pony to be born in a kennel 😉

    There have been all-foreign teams in the past; Chelsea, Arsenal is almost all-foreign ATM, it's an interesting question to ask though, what is it exactly that supporters support?

    It's also one of those things where you can't win either way.

    If you mention it you get called racist for mentioning difference, if you don't mention it then you get called racist for not celebrating diversity and difference.

    Personally I think having 5 Nigerian players is noteworthy, celebrate it, wave the Nigerian flag, or don't.

    Just ignore people like john2 who want it both ways.
