English Football Thread! 2006-2007 Season

Whoa whoa whoa. What's up with this influx of Liverpool fans all of a sudden?

The balance has been restored.

Anyway, Doc forgot to mention Aurelio is also out for us, which is a shame because he would be ideal seeing as Gonzalez is out. I thought he did quite well on the left with Warnock behind him against PSV Eindhoven in the away tie.

Regarding Zenden, I think he'd be much better on the left side of midfield. as he was last season until he got injured, but we have so many other players who can play there - Gonzalez, Aurelio, Luis Garcia, Riise and Kewell. That, and the fact that he is still yet to find his feet after recovering from a serious injury is why I'm showing him leniency when he plays in the middle. To be fair, he is only our fourth choice central midfielder and I think he's good enough to be that, but it would've been better if we'd sold him and kept Didi.

Still, can't complain. We got the 3 points.

yeah keeping didi looks like it would have been a good move right around now. went to the game. everyone clapped and cheered when his name was read out for the man city substitutes.

also i've been around since the dawn of time, i am not a new influx!

Never said you were, mate! It's just that before this thread was overrun (and rightfully so) by Arsenal fans, and now we are diminishing in presence in the face of y'all.

Gimme 4000 theiving scousers over 10 filthy Arsenal scumbags any day.

Nice work, Dan.

And now it seems Zenden is out for five weeks, and it also seems like Rafa is planning to use either Carragher, Hyypia or Agger in the middle. It's got to be a slap in the face for the likes of Peltier and Guthrie.

Wait, didn't I do this yet?

Yayyyyyyy! 1-0 against Pompey this weekend.

It's a shame old Shodey got banned, we need moar Geordie's here. Plucky underdog fans of teams who are crap are awesome.

I remember him. He used to crease me up, how come he got banned?

Another indifferent result from Liverpool tonight. Like you say Psy, Guthrie and Peltier have got to feel fairly aggrieved not to have been given their chance this evening. Can we call Salif back from Stoke?

I think Rafa absolutely has to bring in another midfielder, whether short term or otherwise, in January just to sure us up a bit. We are seriously missing the Didi at the moment, and it's not until situations like this arise, you realise it. Undoubtedly I'll have more to moan about after the highlights, so at least that's something.

[Psychotic]

Well, Guthrie did get a chance. 8 or so minutes. Peltier wasn't even on the bench, although El Zhar was.

If we do buy a central midfielder, I'm not sure how often they'd play with Xabi and Momo coming back, and Stevie seriously staking a claim to being played there all the time. It's Catch-22.

Oh, and YES! SALIF DIAO! <3333333

[Resha]

Yay for derby victory. I'll be honest though; unbiased and fair and all -- that second goal wasn't a penalty in any way; Chimbonda got the ball fair'n square, so we were really lucky there.

It was a great game for Adebayor. He really, really showed what stuff he's made of today, like he's never ever done before imho. That makes me so happppy. And we did it all without Henry too!

Edit: ...4-0 at half-time? The hell is WRONG with Wigan!? O.O Liverpool's away fortunes would've turned indeed xD

Looks like Bellamy IS guilty of assault... against Wigan.


Take care all.
