*Official* English Football Season 2012-13

[Burgey]

Haha Kevin Phillips, never going to miss.

Should have played more for England when he was in his pomp.

 

[NUFAN]

Happy for Palace (and Jedinak).

Yep me too. They are going to be my second team next season.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Roberto Martinez resigns as Wigan manager, next stop Goodison Park I guess.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah, big challenge for him.

 

[sledger]

Sad that he's left Wigan, but a big opportunity for him now, and one that he probably deserves.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Too good for Wigan, tbh.

Interesting to see what kinda fist he'll make of the Toffees. Mate of mine reckons he's Wenger in waiting.

 

[Ikki]

We got Kolo for Carra. Good replacement IMO. Always been a fan of him, not sure how much he still has in the tank though since he didn't feature for City much.

 

[Uppercut]

He's pretty much universally hated but from what I saw of him this season he actually played reasonably well. I think it's a decent signing.

 

[Eds]

Assuming he's not on City-esque wages, and we're not genuinely expecting him to be one of our top 2 centre backs whilst challenging for the top four, then it's a good signing.

Yeah there's a danger you could fall back on him when other players don't progress as you'd hoped, which happened a bit with Carra this year. He probably can't play every game but he should definitely be good to have around.

 

[Nate]

Not sure what to make of it really. Guess having some experience helps, particularly when he's on a free. Wages meant to be around 45k.

Onwards!

Haha is he? I wasn't aware there was any great animosity for him.

 

[Pothas]

Remember when he was the best lad ever?

 

[sledger]

Remember when he was the best lad ever?

Haha I do indeed, an accolade he was sadly not able to hold onto for any great duration. Always thought he was a much better midfielder than a defender, so it's a shame he never really got a chance to develop in that role.

I wonder who the best lad ever is these days. Chesney maybe, if he doesn't go down the pan again.

Haha, I did, actually. That is pretty dire/funny though.

Using false names and occupations is clearly something to be condemned, however.

Of Arsenal players, got to be Cazorla.

Of all Football, clearly Clayton Donaldson and Klopp.

Yes, Cazorla a good shout. May yet be overtaken by Wilshere if the latter doesn't end up being sold, getting injured, or falling from grace somehow. None of which would it be wise to rule out.

If Gervinho was any good he'd be a contender for the greatest lad ever too. But alas. Still remember that game against City.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah Wilshere could be great player but Cazorla is just so likable.

 

[sledger]

Haha, I think Wilshere may have something likeable about him too though. Can easily see him becoming the Fabregas type player, who drags Arsenal through the mire every week, until getting fed up and being sold.
