Substitute "english" for "local" in the argument, would you say Liverpool should only play scousers or Spurs only play cockneys?.......No of course not........it doesn't matter where the players come from as long as they give their all for the shirt.
word, though if that were the case, the only difference in our top four would probably be Newcastle in there instead of Chelsea, and we'd probably have a midlands club in the top 6 too (Villa?).

The London clubs would all have an obvious advantage of larger population (but disadvantage of more competition), but I think most players there would choose to play for Arsenal if they could, and Everton and Man City would just have to rely on the local boys Utd and Liverpool didn't want.

In England, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle are generally the areas where the best players come form, and obviously London, though that's more a large group of towns than a single city.

might be interesting actually.
