*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

[Matteh]

Indeed he did.

 

[Simon]

Did anybody else see David Bentley's goal in the UEFA Cup? Super effort that.

I see Fulham defender Mortiz Voltz is getting a new contract, I know this doesn't mean anything to the majority in here nor care, but didn't he come from Arsenal a few years back?

yeh he was contracted to them a few years ago, had a season on load at Fulham and thn they bought him...

 

[grecian]

I have no idea if Scaly is xenophobic, I just find his constant Henry-baiting, a little dull. Its the same every week, if Henry score, the opponents were poor, he missed 27 chances, if he didn't it proves just how over-rated he is. Then others mention that every striker miss chances, henry has a lot of assists, he creates his own chances to miss.

There, the argument in a nutshell that has been repeated ad infinitum, since I've been here.

In fact I probably mentioned this on last seasons thread, that maybe he should set up a "I HATE HENRY" thread, so the rest of us could avoid the argument, and just talk about the present seaon.

Even though as an Exeter fan, any avoidance of talking about us, should be a blessed relief I suppose,

Yeah he did. I rate him quite highly actually. He's still fairly yougn too I think, early 20's. He was earmarked for a massive future in Germany IIRC and just never got a chance at Arsenal which was a shame. Might have been better than Clichy. Anyway he's been great for Fulham. Can play a bit in midfield too I think.

Welcome back Scott Parker, good stuff McLaren

'Ledley King also returns,'

Replacing Hargreaves?

 

[aussie]

No, i think he's back as one of 9 defenders. Hopefully the likes Richardson, Jenas & P Neville do enough crap to be out of the side by year end.

 

[Matteh]

9 defenders?
King will fit in that holding midfield position .

yea probably 8 i said 9 since P Neville played right back the other day. If he picks Parker & plays King in the holding position something is wrong.

 

[Xuhaib]

Where is Zesh Rehman (the only Pakistani to play in EPL) nowdays?

Queens Park Rangers, relegation strugglers in Division 2. (that's the championship for those of you who don't boycott insane league names)

 

[Matteh]

Prem has been called that ever since i got into football. The Championship and FL1 + FL2 is meh. Divs 1,2 and 3 for me.

Last year was playing first team football for Fulham, seems his career is going downhill fast.

Of course, that's mostly due to him not being very good.

 

[Matteh]

Haha brutal.

 

[steds]

Zesh Rehman (the only Pakistani to play in EPL)

Zeshan 'Zesh' Rehman (born October 14, 1983 in Birmingham, England)

Interesting...

 

[Matteh]

What about Bahang (probably way off) Buthia (same probably), first properly Indian player to play in the English leagues in years, think it was Bury.

Yep.

Palermo cruise past Hammers - PA Sport

"West Ham's disappointing start to the season has continued as they bowed out of the UEFA Cup against Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium 3-0 on the night, 4-0 on aggregate."

If that really was Palermo's attitude to the UEFA cup then why start 5 Italian internationals and their two big signings of the summer from Parma in Simplicio and Bresh. I think they care.
