Ramar Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Arsenal fans, what is Matthew Connolly like. We've just taken him on a years loan it would appear. All I know is that hes a Center Back. He's pretty decent. You'll be surprised to find he's actually an Englishman. I think he was a our reserve captain last year and a very promising centre back, only 19 so he needs experience. I think he only featured in one match I was at last season and that was a testimonial, so to judge him on that would do him no favours. Looks like it could be coming apart at the seams at the Emirates. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-23403547-details/Gallas+in+attack+on+Gunners+spending/article.do Maybe a place in the top four for a surprise package next season if they don't get their act together? Don't listen to a word gallas says, check his poll on his website to see how valid his opinions and articles are on the site. To save time have a look at this. What do you remember about the season of William Gallas ? His uncontested leadership in the defense of Gunners His absence because of a pulled thigh His successful intégration within the team of Arsenal His 3 magnificent registered goals His season without trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant-Shimmin Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Russian League does not count And you know what I mean, hes only played in 1 league properly as in a key figure. Shevchenko won the domestic league title with Dynamo in each of his five seasons with the club. Under the guidance of Valeri Lobanovsky, the Dynamo manager from January 1997 to May 2002, Shevchenko flourished into one of the team's most prominent and skillful players.

Gotta agree with Ant there. Sheva made his name at Dynamo. Him and Rebrov up front were one of the best striker partnerships in europe. Back in those days Dynamo used to always get into the Champs League and do pretty well from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodleman Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 That is a fair point hob and i agree but he only really started to play well for the hammers in the last part of the season. if he had played that way all the way through they would have been midtable. was it just a purple patch or was it that it took him a while to adjust. i think it is the latter, but i would say he needed another season to be a truely "proven" premiership striker. still worth the gamble. Tbf to Tevez he was hardly played in the first half of the season and when he was it was on the right of midfield. I cant see how Tevez and Rooney can play effectivly in the same team however...

Ant-Shimmin Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The Greatest Interview Ever Jamie Carragher got his own back live on air on Talksport Radio in the UK a few hours ago. For a while, hosts Adrian Durham and Micky Quinn were discussing Carragher's decision to leave the England setup. Durham was having a constant go at Carragher calling him a "bottler" whereas Quinn defended the Scouser with his decision. Durham stated that any player in his twenties who retires from the England set up needs to have a "word with themselves" and as an England fan he was "disappointed". He also said that John Terry, Jonathan Woodgate and Rio Ferdinand were all better than the Liverpool vice-captain. During the show, Durham got the shock of his life when Jamie phoned up the show and told Durham that he was no "bottler" and that if Durham still thought that then he should visit Anfield on a Champions League night and show him who the bottler was. Durham started to backtrack like a chicken and said "I think your a terrific footballer Jamie" Carra also said he'd spoken to Maclaren a couple of times and that the former Boro manager wanted him to re-think his decision to quite the National side. The Liverpool player also said that he'd been played out of position when he was playing for England. Needless to say, the Talksport host was left with egg on his face. A great radio moment.

Ramar Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Rio and Terry are both better all round defenders then Carragher. Woodgate is no where near him. Defiant to the end. Big Bird is shit on a twig compared to Carragher. We've had this 'discussion' before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant-Shimmin Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 You know my view on Carra but thats an awesome response, to be honest though I think had Carra been off Radio he would of literally said, Fuck England I'm Playing for Liverpool... Fuck Torrres I'm Getting Carradona on the back of my shirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant-Shimmin Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I said to myself when I wrote that statement, Ant will bite at my balls. You know exactly what I mean, he went into the next level at AC, Kiev was a stepping stone to the top. Good research on the net by the way. Stop nitpicking. Tevez is young and much less likely to flop then Shevchenko was. Hands down I agree with what your saying but you have some crazy and un-founded points to back it up...
