Who really cares about a game played by Brits in cute little shorts?

The thing is, there are relatively few "Brits" on a Premier League side.

Not really sure if that is so true anymore.

Everton, West Ham, Crystal Palce all started 7 Brits/Irish in their last game.

Even the Man City manager Peregrini came under some criticism for almost not having any English players in their loss vs. Liverpool.

While we see Liverpool had a few, in general, I guess the top clubs have fewer.

If you get over half of your players in the starting selection from the home countries including Ireland, I think you are doing fairly well.
