Quote:
West Ham boss Alan Pardew has hit out at Arsene Wenger for not fielding an English player in Arsenal's Champions League win against Real Madrid.
"I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain," he said.
"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."
"The soul of this team will remain with at least three or four English players as long as I am West Ham. I think that's important, I really do."

Guess he has changed his mind.
