Official Premiership 06/07 thread

[R.W.]

And justified.

[Thomas]

I've winced about 5 times watching Paletta play his 2 or 3 games this season, some of the defensive positions he takes up are atrocious.

[Matt]

Thing is, Liverpool don't need a big investment like Chelsea did, they need one or 2 players to finish off their squad.

And, trb, I'm not sure why I'm not keen on Agger, maybe I haven't seen enough of him (which is probably true) but I don't reckon he's a great player, he's good, but I reckon if Liverpool want a serious title challenge they need someone a touch better. Though, I could be wrong, because I've seen little premier league football this year.

I also don't see United doing as well next season, I think they've been lucky in a sense this year that a lot of players (Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo, etc:) have all hit good form whilst some of their challengers (mainly Chelsea) have been missing key players and not gelled too well. Still probably see them challenging for the title, though, just don't see them winning it.

I reckon next year it could well be the year Liverpool finally win the league though, because the squad should be coming to terms with English football now and thus they should gel. That's supposing they don't buy a load of foreign players in the summer who need to adapt to the English game.

Don't worry, Alves can easily take over for Eboue at Arsenal and we'd never notice!

I'm going to sound like a cunt, but you're wrong. Like I said, Agger's been better than Carragher this season, and the only game where he's looked uncomfortable was against Chelsea in the Champions League first leg. Apart from that, he's been excellent. He's only 23 as well, so he's only going to get better.

I've said it before, but Agger will be one of the best defenders in the world within a couple of years.

Like I said, I could well be, and after all you'll know more than me on the matter, but from what I've seen he's been nothing exceptional. Apparently I haven't been seeing enough,

[Bigal]

Bwhahaha, Paul Jewell phoned in to Talksport to whinge about the hosts suggesting that Wigan are hoping West Ham lose to Utd. "I don't really care what other teams do, wha wha wha". I used to like Jewell, but he's a prick now >_>

[ONO]

Of course he is, he's a fat cunt. >_>

[Thomas]

So they ruined the Premiership badge, and now they're ruining the numbers too, if my unofficial source of excellence is to be believed.

[alldaws1]

I like the new Premiership name and numbers, it's a nice change. And the remake of the logo is brilliant, much better than the old one. You just have crap taste, Thomas ¬_¬

[Thomas]

Unneccessary.

[AJ]

The number and name don't even look like they're actually on the shirt.

[alldaws1]

It's probably just a mock-up done on computer.

[Chris the Human]

Anyone else hearing that Mark Viduka is headed to Portsmouth? He's been a standout for Middlesborough in a less than impressive year, and I think he'd be the kind of thing Portsmouth need to make that jump from mid-table mediocrity to pushing for European qualification. I may not like him in a Socceroos jersey (always seems to go missing) but he never fails to impress for Middlesborough. Would be a good acquisition for Pompey if it's true. I would have bet good money he'd head to Italy.

[AJ]

Yeah, so hardly conclusive evidence.

Anyways, I don't think the names and numbers are that important. As long as they don't start having stupid lower case names like Madrid.

I never get names or numbers on my shirts any more.

[therockbox]

Newcastle had the new number/lettering on their shirts last week, and Soccer AM had a load of shirts with them on as well.

It looked lush on Newcastle's shirts.

Last day of the season
