The Scots are largely of Hibernian Celt descent, the English a more mongrelised mixture of mainly Anglo-Saxon, Jutes and Danes. This is only correct insofar as "The Scots" were one of many peoples to settle within what is now Scotland. Angles other Germanic settlers (i.e. "the English") within Northumbria extended well into South Eastern Scotland. Their language became lowland Scots, a close relative of English. The Strathclyde British, the original inhabitants of the mainland south of the Clyde spoke a language close to Welsh, and their lands and culture were closely related to and intertwined with those of the original inhabitants of Cumbria (known as Rheged). It is not completely known, but is thought that the Picts also spoke a Brythonic (related to Welsh) language. The far North of Scotland and the Isles were invaded and occupied by invaders of Scandinavian descent from the last quarter of the first millennium. The Hibernian Celts (who were known as Scots) were one tribe who invaded from Ireland and imposed their culture on the Picts, via dynastic alliances with the rulers of the Picts. They started their invasion via the islands and peninsulas of Argyll (the land of the eastern gaels). So, if you differentiate "The Scots" from "The inhabitants of the lands which became Scotland" the picture is more complex. Anyway, is Riyad Mahrez going to Roma, to Arsenal or is he staying put, or what?

Plus Neymar hasn't even agreed to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 it's not looking great for Mahrez, he is Arsenal's second choice and Roma want to pay less than what they got for Salah. It doesn't shout 'you're the main man' He should get on the pitch in august or up to Jan and play himself into the move he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RM Agent - "Hello, is that FC Barcelona? Mr Mahrez will see you now." Barcelona - "Nah, you're alright." Hilarious that he came out and said that he was tired of waiting for Barcelona. In the same way that I am tired of waiting for Beyonce to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod hero Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 The thought of him leaving is making me more and more nervous. It was only a friendly today but the lack of creativity in the second half was quite apparent. were now overloaded with defensive midfielders and no one to unlock a defence. if he goes we need someone to come in and hit the ground running to replace him. I Hope he stays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Hope he stays It was so apparent We're an industrious team without Mahrez, got nothing to offer but harrying other teams then hitting long balls for Vardy to get on the end of... No one capable of holding the ball & certainly not of creating something... Even in an uncompetitive game like that Mahrez is light-years ahead of everyone else here, it will be a huge, huge loss if he goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
