Yeah we only had 2 regular English starters last season with them being Danny Simpson and Mike Williamson, those two will be on there way now with Simpson getting greedy.

Wenger might nab Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa Adz. Sakhos a possibilty too.

Whats up with Steven Taylor? Is he broken for good?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Excellent.:tu:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

He is good and as Pardew mentioned he wants a CB that can score 6-8 goals a season from set pieces, Steven Taylor is capable of that but I can't see him starting ahead of a new CB arrival.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

For what he actually did that is harsh in my opinion. His name/reputation has got him that length of ban.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

harsh? he kicked out after being sent off. i'm surprised QPR didnt get fined for failing to control their player.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

There appears to be a 'one rule for one, and one for another' in the Joey Barton situation.

Years ago what happened to the Barton situation would have been accepted, now we have to scenario with the Barton position, who gets a 12 match ban for what he did.

Yet John Terry is in court for a racism comment and yet is still playing, the farcical of the FA is saying that Barton has 'ruined the reputation' of the game.

What is more important to kick out racism in the great game of football or a punch up that happens in the game each week.

Some people might not not like what l have written, but the players of today would not survive in the days of Ron Harris or Vinny Jones - now they are the great days of people. Today the players go down feigning injuries to get players sent off.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

More of a knee than a kick. I just think if it had been any other QPR player the ban would have been a lot less. I can't stand the bloke but being banned for nearly 1/3 of next season is very harsh for what he did in my opinion.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

First red card: 3 games + 1 more because it was his second.

Kneeing the player in the back would get him another red card. So that's another 3 games plus 2 more because it was his third. So now we're at 9 games. Then he still refused to leave the pitch, touched heads with Kompany, and he is a prior history of such behaviour. All of that probably caused the FA to add the additional 3 games.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

also may be because he didnt acknowledge what he done and said some pretty stupid things after. all of which he seems to stand by?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

For once i have to agree with Arthur. The strangest thing i find is that suarez received an 8 match ban for allegedly saying something to evra pretty swift but terry is still playing the game and in the England team

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Suarez admitted it whilst disputing the context. The police didn't get involved. Terry is denying the charge and the FA don't want to deliver a verdict whilst he is awaiting trial for obvious reasons.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

could someone please clear this up as even before i didnt understand it correctly.

Willl Terry face both a ban and fine as well as court (whatevers decided) if found guilty?
