Speak for yourself mate. Several Pakistani players in leagues below Premier League.
We also had a Pakistani national player at Fulham in PL, Zesh Rahman. He was the first Asian to start a PL match.
Zidane Iqbal (OK, only half Pakistani I suppose) played for Manchester United hardly a season ago.
I get your suggestion that browns may never feel truly English or even be allowed to feel as such - I do get that and it may be true....but then why wouldn't that argument apply for cricket?
Samit Patel, Moeen Ali, Monty Panesar, Nasser Hussain, Adil Rashid etc etc.
But ok, let's assume you're right about the football team. Ok...if I go along with that assertion, (which I don't but I will speculate for arguments sake), I STILL put it to you that the support for England from most (not all) browns is fake, ergo, wtf is the point??
Cricket is different ..We Asians have played cricket since empire days
Football is different non South Asian
It will remain that way until.a South Asian plays in English national team....by god that would be massive
Btw try going to English match with three Asian lads when England lose on penalties..to Germany .And see what happens in the pub
I have seen it witnessed it
You and your three mates maybe wearing England shirt ...it will.make no difference
Booze brings out the worst but the deep truth sometimes
