Guest jimbob Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Today we had 7 black players in our starting 11. Fantastic to see. Has it happened before? Is this the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoryBell Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Today we had 7 black players in our starting 11. Fantastic to see. Has it happened before? Is this the most? Do you mean they looked good in the kit or should we be issuing a "Politically Correct Nutter" alert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GreenGoose Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Erm . . . I'm not sure where this thread is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I understand what your saying but i honestly don't think it matters nor it should. I know it's only a question etc but this thread could easily go into some crazy nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S7Owl Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think it is an interesting stat, and people don't need to be over sensitive to it one way or the other, as long as they pull on the blue and white shirt with pride, nothing else matters....

Guest Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It's nothing to read into the op. I wouldn't call it a "stat" mind, I wouldn't imagine records are kept for such things, all I saw today was Wednesday players beating Blackburn players, didnt really see colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) and when we play Notts Forrest there are 22 Blacklegs on the pitch Also in the late 19th century there was a local team of pros who would black up, don Zulu war dress and play friendlies under the name of Zulus FC Edited April 6, 2013 by nevthelodgemoorowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbob Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Oh sweet mercy! Chill out. It's just a question. (As for the good to see - I'm afraid you'd need to be old enough to remember how ugly football used to be to appreciate it now.) This is not a thread about political correctness, just a stat inquiry from a historical perspective on all things Wednesday. Mods feel free to delete, but I think most sensible folk can see the difference between a question and racism. But if the idiots hijack it, best get rid. Thanks.

bradowl Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Has a professional club played 11 black players? We'll be called All Blacks if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wadsleybridgeowl Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 To be fair m8 , If you look at it from a different angle the question could be racist. We all remember our heroes over the years and its a mixture of races, If your good enough you get a game. And kin ell wish JJ was like that every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand owl Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 to be fair to Jimbob when Arsenal fielded 10 black outfield players in their champs league group game a few years back it did make many journo's highlight this in their match reports. First time it had happened in an english team. In my opinion they should have brought shaka hislop on loan and made it a full house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It's not as though it's one of the stats that Lineker whips off at the start of match of the day, 'one of the stattos's, both of todays sides feature more black players than white, for the first time this season' Cuts to Jason Roberts in the studio... 'WTF Gaz'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
