If you took away the fact that somehow Andros Townsend has ended up with 10 England caps (usual for any player who signs for Tottenham!)…

Have Newcastle struggled because of too many foreign players and not enough English/British/Irish players, or is the truth a little different?

Diamonds like Steven Taylor will only come through rarely so prepare yourself for the more likely team of Frenchmen than Sir John Hall’s team of Geordies.
