Quote:



“I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain. I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team. It’s important that top clubs don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the English Premier League and English players should be involved. Foreign players have been fantastic. We have learned from them and from foreign coaches. But, to some extent, we could lose the soul of British football – the English player.�

But he´s a nice guy, Pardew. The british thing is a thing of the past, Arsenal "just happened" to be the pioneers. You'll never hear the same rant again.
