Villa in 1999

Would very much doubt it has been repeated since 2011 when the article was written
Now there's a pub quiz question I don't know the answer to.
Who/When was the last side in the English top flight to play a team consisting of only Englishmen?
Even the last British only team would be a struggle.
You just know training this week will consist of everyone linking arms in two banks of four in front of the goal, with Fat Sam firing frozen turkeys at them with an air cannon whilst screaming 'Respect the Point!!" through a megaphone to prepare them for the Chelsea onslaught on Saturday
Will take that.
A momentry loss of concentration for their goal, no doubt Sam will be right on that.
And after a lot of huffing and puffing in the first half, we actually seemed to grow in confidence going forward in the second.
Sam brings the points again.
9th in the League and above...
