    What is it with the Muckems

    It's a long time since they featured home grown players in their line up.
    At one time they used to churn out Brits from their academy

    They are fielding just one Brit today against our SIX

    It's very bad for the home international prospects. There should be a rule stating at least a third of the team to be home grown

    Nar Zip, they just had all the luck and we didn't turn up.

    We'll thrash them at our place.

    I'll still wager that we'll finish a few places above them.

    Agree with that - although will never happen cos the prem wants to be able to spend lots on "global" names.

    Equally, I guess, without those global names prem doesn't get so much money from global nations.
