SUMMARY OF ROUND:
220 starters
Whites: 141 (64.09 %) - Englishmen: 46 (20.909 %)
Blacks: 61 (27.727 %) - "English" blacks: 25 (11.363 %)
Other non-Whites: 18 (8.181 %)
29 goals (Whites: 13; blacks: 10; mestizos: 1; Arabs: 1; Albanians: 1; Asians: 1; quarter-Vietnamese: 1; 1 own goal scored by a White)
When I first joined Caste Football I stated that the numbers of Arabs, Turks, and Albanians in European football would gradually increase and that these Muslim groups shall constitute the newest vanguard of the campaign to displace Whites from the sport.
It's now the end of 2013 and seven Arabs, one Turk and one Albanian were starters in Round 18. In addition, Spurs brought the 19-year old Nabil Bentaleb (who made his senior team debut against Southampton last weekend) on during the sceond half against West Brom. When contrasted with the huge volume of blacks this mightn't seem very many but I predict that at the end of the decade the number of Premier League starters from the abovementioned ethnicities will rise to over twenty each round. largely courtesy of the youth programs of clubs in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia...
