Playing for Saints you’re going to be getting a lot of opportunity.

It’s why a loan to Saints of Tyrese Hall would be really good as part of the Dibling deal. Hall will play and grow, harder here.

Yeh, that slightest spark of top quality you're in the starting XI...........

They've never been a club to resort to rancid, Stokey football either.
 
Why? You think Barce would have felt threatened by 'little old Spurs'........ Part of the reason we got our hooks into that one so swiftly is down to Barca arrogance.



It absolutely does..... Spurs interaction with Bayern (especially if it's tangible) alongside further noise surrounding Man U, Chavs & Arse (and later Villa) is blatantly gonna spark major media interest.

That's my whole damn point.


Some countries cultures are just less discrete than others too... Classic example being Italy; where it all seems to just play in the open like some whacked-out soap opera.

Ignoring whatever assumptions you are using as excuses for Barca.

Why did we even speak to clubs for RKM, Tel or Tomori if the player wasn’t on board?
 
That's fair ... I guess the borders are at the place where the cost of fighting the Welsh and Scots was greater than anything that could be gained. National identity is a bit weird when the top political level was more dynasties and families fighting each other than countries. The people who felt national identity most were probably the poor fuckers being sent into battle to get chopped up by equally poor fuckers on the other side.

The borders are broadly the same now as was - but not 100%, so for example there was an old Kingdom of Strathclyde which straddled the modern English/Scottish borders.

Edward the Confessor despatched Earl Siward of Northumberland in the 1050's to fight for Strathclydde as Sots were overrunning it, but wasn't able to be totally successful.

Its noteworthy that Carlisle does not appear in Doomsday book (1086) as it was by then part of Scotland, but William Rufus (Wiliam 2) invaded Cumbria building a castle in Carlisle to bring it into England in 1092.

And Berwick on Tweed is well known to have flip flopped between English and Scottish rule into the 1400's
