There were 7 English Players in the squad against Sheffield United on Sat.
5 starting and 2 in the subs.
When is the last time there were 7 or more English Players in the squad in a league game?
I can only back to the early Wenger years.

I defintely got pretty lukewarm on my support for England during the so-called ‘golden generation’ of England players, mainly becouse none of them were Arsenal and generally I hated them all, from Cole to Terry to Gerrard to Lampard. I remember Gerrard saying how they treated Walcott when he was taken to the WC when he was 17: basically they all thought he shouldn’t be there, rather than trying to nurture a young talent and get the best from him. Walcott didn’t play and I always felt it was because of the pushback from senior players.
Well, they got what they deserved…which was nothing.
