Ever Presents 2006/7

[CanadaToffee]

Just came across this factoid:

did you know?

Joseph Yobo, Richard Dunne, Ivar Ingimarsson and Phil Jagielka were the only outfielders to play every minute of every Premiership game in 2006-07

Two current blues, and a former blue, in the 4.

 

[bluewoo]

dont think any of our players can claim that this year - even after a halfseason

Is that true or is there anyone i've overlooked?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Carsley can't have missed many.

 

[bluewoo]

Didn't he sit out a few at the start of the season when we were tryin 442 and Jags/Neville in front of the defence

 

[chicoazul]

True, when we were a bit [Poor language removed]. Jagielka in midfield scared the [Poor language removed] out of me.

*resists temptation to turn this into carsley worship thread*

Lescott missed many?

 

[chicoazul]

Cant think of many he's missed.

He played against Birmingham from what I can remember but the real star of the show was...

 

[Neiler]

I thought i heared the commentator say during the Chelski game that Lescott had layed every minute of our Prem campaign it struck me as i know Yobo did the same last year.

Someone mentioned trying Lescott in the defensive midfield position the other day.

It wasnt a bad idea but it usually doesnt work out when they start switching positions does it. Yobo tried it a few years back and was gash.

 

[bluewoo]

Dug around, He came on for Stubbs in the second half of the Backburn game. So only missed 45 mins I think.

I Like Lescott where he is. He's already our best defender and when he feels like it our best left winger. He wouldnt be as good as Carsley anyway.

 

[chicoazul]

True. We need to spunk some money on someone with natural width, left or right as Arteta is comfortable on both.
