EPL 20010/11 team list Arsenal, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United Stoke City, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwhich Albion, West Ham United, Wigan Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Hopefully this season can be as good as last years. Title decided on the last day, final relegation place decided on last day and most of the European places too. I'll refrain from pointing out that we were robbed of the double and just hope and pray that Phil Dowd, Howard Webb and Mark Halsey never step foot in Villa Park ever again. Been quiet on the transfer front again with only Man City (surprise, surprise) making big signings in the form of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Jerome Boateng. Season just 4 weeks away..

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jul 19 2010, 04:11 PM) Joe Cole to LiverpoolHe isn't half the player he used to be, but still a decent enough signing. Overrated, incredibly overrated. I've heard a few Liverpool fans and it sounds like they've signed C.Ronaldo/Messi or someone like that in fact this is a guy who couldn't get a start in the England team in this World Cup. Even when he came on was so out of his depth it was unreal. I remember watching him play against Slovenia and he was all over the place, even when he was on the ball he'd give it away. Also remember him coming on in the CL for Chelsea against Inter last season and when he came on Inter had a lot more joy down that wing, due to the lack of work rate running back. He had a good season at Chelsea a few years back but it got hyped up so much because he was English that it was meant to be incredible, when in reality it was no better than Malouda's this season. I think people just like his stepovers perhaps, this guy was built up to be the next big thing for English football and is an average top league player - at best. On a free, I guess you can't argue. I'd have more hope for Babel than this guy though.

I had a feeling you'd comment on this. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think on his day he's superb, but he seems to have spent an awful lot of time injured the past few years which is exactly what Liverpool don't need. ============================================================================= Premier League 'home grown' ruleA step in the right direction, well done to the FA. *To qualify as 'home grown' a player must have been registered for 3 seasons before his 21st birthday (nationality is irrelevant). *A squad of 25 players must be registered the day after the summer transfer window closes (before this date, any players can be used). *8 of the 25 must be 'home grown'. If you cannot acheive 8 'home grown' players, you can have less, but it also reduces your squad (if you only have 7 HG players, you can only have a squad of 24, etc.) * During the winter transfer window, squads can change the players that are registered as many times as they like, but a 25 man squad must be finalised when the window is closed. There's still flaws because I don't think 8 out of 25 is enough, but it's a start and they're trying to do the right thing at least. If teams like Man City insist on buying foreigners then they'll either have a very small squad or have to register some youth players. Oh, and I think Milner's price tag just went up again.
