Six Welsh clubs in the English league

To be fair, I don't think it's all that important as far as the thread goes, they're still not going to let me have them as being Welsh. RACISTS.

 

Merthyr Town? Did Merthyr Tydfil go bust last year?

 

Does 'Tydfil' mean 'Town'?

Or does it translate as 'Tadpole'?

 

They were liquidated last year, as I said, and reformed as 'Town'.

 

How can you trust a region where the most common names are Evans and Jones, but their alphabet doesn't contain V's or J's?

 

British Imperial spelling.

Like Calcutta and Kolkota; Bombay and Mumbai. There are many more, in all the "colonies".

 

And do the backward natives thank us, their betters, for educating them?

 

Hang on a minute - it wasn't all one-way.......we ripped off their raw materials/ minerals etc. How do you think Britain got to be Great Britain?

Sure, we had the Industrial Revolution, but we made our subjects buy our goods (and our industry got rich) and we bought/took their raw materials for our industry - at our prices....

 

Those were the days

 

Long gone, I'm afraid.

 

I miss the days when a British gentleman could hop on a boat to rape Pacific Islanders.

 

Not always......

 

A somewhat myopic version held by the left and sundry natives to excuse the fact they were moaning about the stones in their shoes, which we kindly removed for them and put them to intelligent use in exchange for schools, employment and an infrastructure that despite their best efforts to screw it up, still looks after them today. Unless of course they really would have been better starving in their mud huts praying for the neighbouring tribes to take them as slaves. After all, we only knew about them because they came here to gather us as slaves.

 

We have different points of view, OK.

But what does this mean?

 

What it says. They had slave colonies in the Bristol channel amongst other places, holding pens until their ships came by to collect. They sold Brits around the known world. That's how the Romans knew to come here.

The British Empire was actually built by the private enterprise of what were multinationals. All this hand wringing and apologies we see today is extremely misguided.

(By 'they', I'm talking mainly North Africa as opposed to the Welsh)

 

No point in discussing further.

End of!

 

Not if you think the J was Imperialism, never mind the rest.

I might be repeating what wiki says, but if memory serves it was to do with land prices. They built the majority of it in Wales because the land was cheaper, but made sure the offices were in England so that they could remain a member of the English FA. If the offices had been in Wales, even if the rest of the stadium had been in England they would have had to switch to the FAW.

Legitimately, because Great Britain is the biggest island in the British Isles.
