'Chopper' is on a distinguished road

Default Monday morning whinge!

Here's the Hearts bench from Saturday's game against Motherwell:

Beniusis (Lithuanian, born 1980), Zaliukas (Lithuanian, born 1983), Mikoliunas (Lithuanian, born 1984), Basso (French, born 1979), Thomson (Scottish, born 1987), Ivaskevicius (Lithuanian, born 1985), Ksanavicius (Lithuanian, born 1977)

One solitary Jock on the bench! With 7 subs coming in in England next season too what's to say the additional seats aren't polished by more cheap foreign imports? The idea would give the likes of Wenger more foreign options and not necessarily lead to English players getting a chance!

Just as an aside, here's the starting line up:

Banks (English)
Karipidis (Greek)
Wallace (Scottish)
Palazuelos (Spanish)
Nade (Costa Rican)
Neilson (Scottish)
Jonsson (Icelandic)
Berra (Scottish)
Elliot (Scottish)
Cesnauskis (Lithuanian)
Goncalves (Portuguese)

TOO MANY FOREIGNERS!
