It's not a compliment, they add that tag because they know consumers want to support British farmers, that's all. I've never seen it attached to anything other than foodstuffs, personally.

I'm not sure I agree about patriotism in the UK. If anything I'd say patriotism became tied to nationalism and so we've shied away from it more and more over the years. 2012 I think was probably a bit of an aberration, what with the Royal Wedding, Queen's Jubilee and the Olympics coming all in...

Yikes.

@MickTheGooner 8h GOOD NEWS: Arsenal to unveil 3 new wonderkid signings - Julio Selva (Barca), Dan Crowley (A.Villa) & Yaya Sanogo (Auxerre) in next few days.

Wouldn't surprise me! Only two clubs have over the 60% representation target, and only just. Norwich City - 60.7% Southampton - 60.5% West Ham United - 51.4% Tottenham Hotspur - 50.0% Sunderland - 48.4% Liverpool - 44.1% Queens Park Rangers - 41.7% Stoke City - 41.4% Aston Villa - 40.6%...

I wish England took the U21 tournaments as seriously as other countries. Wilshere, Welbeck, Walker, Jones, Rodwell, AOC, Jenkinson etc. all not taken :(

:facepalm:

It seems like Spain and Gibraltar will be kept apart in qualification draws. Bit pathetic if true.

Didn't Spain once threaten to remove Real Madrid and Barcelona from European competitions if Gibraltar was ever allowed into UEFA? Looks like their bluff has been called.

I've been saying they should do this for ages. It'll actually make the competition worthwhile outside of being a money maker.

I don't see how they can conscionably be denied when places like the Faroe Islands already have representation. Wonder what the reaction in Spain would be like.

Wenger should go after Bale, if only to unsettle Spurs.

Why can that be done in Spain but not in England?

He asked for stuff was was "typically British". I think he was talking more about current sporting culture than the history of it.

It could get a lot bigger than it is now if it didn't have a salary cap. Imagine all the stars on their way out that would go over there for massive wages.

Indeed. Liverpool have been a match for most of the big teams, if not out played them. Plus don't forget that this isn't his squad yet, it's a squad in transition both in personnel and style. Next season will be the real test.

I don't think Wenger will want to move him. Is he likely to get another winger that will rack up 21 goals and 17 assists in 43 games?
