    Found this article which makes rather interesting reading for all NCFC supporters. Had goals scored by english players counted only and not those by foreign players Norwich would have finished 13th instead of 18th, and Man City would have been relegated in 18th place instead of being champions, which would have gone to Liverpool.

    The table shows how much some of these top clubs heavily rely on players from outside England to win games for them.

    I've reported the link problem to the supermods, this was the first time I had seen it, when I tried to edit it, it appeared in its proper form even after I came out of the post!

    You're not mad yet Rob, but I think you might get there if you keep talking to JWM though.

    This was the very first time it had happened to me, I thought it must be an external problem! Now we must wait and see what happens!

    That's the answer. Forget B teams entering lower tier football, just enforce the rule that only goals scored by English players count.
