" INTERESTING / CARDIFF CITY HAVE NINE "

Interesting tables here. It's the amount of non-British or Irish players in each team's squad from the top four divisions. Interesting how Sheffield United are the only team in the top three tiers to have zero.

Ned, they'll be renaming to the 'Premier League of Nations' soon!

Any link between Brentford having the most in the Championship and being bottom!

Where are Fulham and Reading (who have the same numbers)?

Fulham have got off to a slow start as well. But to be fair to them they were the best footballing side we played last year and will probably be up there soon.

No doubt!

Actually, I don't think the number of foreign players in those teams means anything in particular; Fulham are the surprise team down there to me, as Reading flattered to deceive last season with their 'Stam Style' and Brentford haven't been the same since they sacked Mark Warburton for getting too close to promotion for comfort!
