*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

[Matteh]

Best named trophy around at the moment would have to be the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, a marvelous competiton.

And we're in the last 16. We won it in '87 when i believe it was called the Land Rover Freight Trophy. Since then it's been Auto Windscreens, LDV Vans. Hardly the most lucrative sponsors.

Do you know how much us lower league supporters get wound up by pat-on-the-head supporters? LOL

Yep (and a large amount of the gate at Roots Hall were pat-on-the-head supporters too).

 

[sledger]

haha freddy eastwood, what a player.

 

[Craig]

Lol what a upset still this would probably g down as one of their greatest achievements, second string Man Utd or not it is still Man Uts so good on them. Speaking of the Carling Cup as it been the only games Geremi has got for Chelsea this season? Why do they still have him? TBH I wondering if he still existed or not.

In other news I read that Freddy Adu has gone to train at Man Utd to train for two weeks, but his club DC United have said it is not a trial. Even if they decide to buy him how will they get a Work Permit for him? A few back handers under the table (ie a bribe or two) perhaps?

It wasn't that second string a side actually Craig...

 

[Loony BoB]

Aye, Rooney and Ronaldo both played. The first team players missing were Scholes, Neville, Giggs, Saha, Van Der Sar - but I think most other first teamers were still in there, although the team did include Smith and Richardson. Still, even those two should be able to perform against a Championship side.

ha, dont know TBH, but ATM i don't want Adu we could buy him next september or something, Klass or Torres would be better January buys.

That'd be impressive, what with the transfer window shutting in August and all.

 

[aussie]

Will be very intersting to see what changes if any changes Mclers makes to the side 2moro. Barry, Reo-coker & Richards would be blokes that have impressed a lot & have a great chance of getting a call-up. But other than that don't think to many changes should be made, just hope one-day they do what they do at club level on the interntional stage..

Myleene?

Would be a good buy tbh.

Remind me of the grand total of first choice players who played.

Cole's suspended isn't he? Give Baines the gig, imo. Should play even if Cashley's available, on second thoughts.

Hmm, now let me see - Brown (supposedly the best natural defender in the country), at least one of Heinze/Silvestre, Ronaldo, Rooney, O'Shea, Fletcher.

Such a "second string" there...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Don't think Brown, Silvestre, O'Shea and Fletcher are first team any longer looking at the Fantasy Premier League stats (minutes played). I'm sure a manure fan will known better

 

[superkingdave]

Van Der Sar
Heinze
Ferdinand
Vidic
Neville
Ronaldo
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Saha

would be their first XI wouldn't it?

I don't know whgat the big fuss is since you lost anyway.

 

[roseboy64]

No fuss IMO. I'm looking at it as a blessing in diguise.

 

[roseboy64]

Van Der Sar
Heinze
Ferdinand
Vidic
Neville
Ronaldo
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Saha

Correct although Evra's ahead of Heinze atm.

Flecther played regularly and well at the start of the season but is second choice to Carrick and Scholes.
