Pêche can also mean peach.
And muideen, that Allah forbids you a sense of irony is indeed a great shame, but perhaps if you learned to write English more effectively, you might actually begin to comprehend it better, and learn when to take a joke. Or is humour a no no as well? You might even begin to acquire some respect for one of the world's fluffiest, most cuddlesome and enduringly spiffing multi-racial societies, like it or not.
But you know, I think we have more in common than you might think... bad diet, sodomy and an unnatural fondness for obese children spring to mind.

i think some of these comments are really silly, but they are also a bit funny, so they're not too bad really. especislly the one about the cross dressing mrs billy le peche, because wait for it, le peche in french means 'the fish'. do you get it, mrs billy 'the fish'. ha ha ha ha ha,...and i'll bet its not even a mrs but a mr. anyway, is this the golf comments section?

ur all having a go at rafa about signing spnanish players but lets face it they r the only players who have really worked out at Liverpool so far! Gonzalez any1??? or maybe ud all prefer 2 keep hold of Ant LeTallec???

Rafa has brought in quality from spain such as torres, alonso, garcia and even arbeloa is becoming more than what i eva expected of him! plus rafa isnt afraid 2 change his ideas... garcia's already gone... and crouch and alonso looks 2 be on their way with the hopeful addditions of Barry, Keane and Albert Riera things can only b looking up!

those of u who think that Villa and Silva r realistic targets shud probably start donating money 2 the club quick coz thats gonna be at least £50 mil after the Euros.

GET ON BOARD AND LETS ALL START SUPPORTING THE MANAGER!!! LFC TILL I DIE!!!

Its about time Ballack signed up with Curbishley at the Academy big Phil will surely be glad to dispose of the player who ended his career at Potugal :-)

it will be a good idea if l'pool boss learn that his long and high ball tactic doesnt work anymore. I love liverpool but its about time we get a realistic tactic.

Yup, English players are definitely among the best players in the world. You can tell from there fantastic run in euro 2008 fin- oops.
Yeah, Exactly. Perhaps if most of these players weren't plying there trade in the english premier league each and every week, Then English players might have a chance.

Refresh my memory. When was the last time an English player topped your goal scoring chart?
And when was the last time that "world class striker" Wayne Rooney scored more than 13 goals in a season?
The word "Prolific", springs to mind.

Your players are overpriced. Would Real Madrid pay 18 million for Garry Barry?
They probably don't even rate him as a championship player, Nevermind a world class one.

The only English player worth more than 15 million is Steven Gerard in my opinion.
He's really good.

i wish we would have more scottish coverage on eurosport transfer news, seems like our teams get a bit part role in the sports, celtic and rangers are both looking at a few interesting transfers but its not being reported. I'm a hot girl, I feel lonely... What I really need is love, Feel free to chat with me on "B l a c k W h i t e K i s s . c 0000 M" where i upload my photos and many black or white singles seeking love online.

Let's face it, foreign players (including the Scots) come to England not simply to play football; they come because deep down they all want to be English (or anything but Scots). This is a wholly understandable desire and we should not criticise anyone for following their dreams.
I always wanted to be a drug-addled lady-boy, and that's exactly what I am, but more importantly, I am English and as proud of my fine heritage as I am of the very sporting Thai (but English at heart) silk shift that I am wearing.
Besides which, foreign players aren't here to bomb our excellent public transport system, rape our Mothers or turn all our sisters into crack whores (or fallen women, if the site censor doesn't allow that expression), as ALL asylum seekers are. Indeed, foreign players add much to our society with their erudite observations and oily charm.
It is high time we all learned to live together! I would be happy to have Riera board with me until the immigration services certify his new nationality... though I admit that might not be much use to him as I live in Tokyo.

Think Gers Fan is in a bit of a dream world really!! I agree that if rangers and celtic want to move into the english leagues, they should be made to start at the bottom and work up, but I wouldn't put any bets on them even reaching the premier league within 5 years, let alone be pushing for the title!!

why and how could rangers or hate to say it ....celtic ..join top flight ...
they should start at the bottom and work up ...like every club in this league ...div 3 ....see how much you can buy then .....

You clowns can slag off scottish foootball all you want but English premiership's no much better, there's only 2 good teams (Chelsea + Man Utd) who contest the league every year, then there's the 2 dreamers (Arsenal + Liverpool), then theres a small cluster of teams fightin for europe! If Rangers, and i hate to say it, Celtic joined the English Prem they would be challenging for the title within 5 years! They both have a strong fan base and with the £100 odd million a year revenue it wouldn't be long til they had much better players! That's why the English clubs voted "no" to lettin them join because they know they would be challengin and maybe eventually dominate and they couldn't handle that!!!

Real Madrid are a rubbish establishment . . with all the money in the world they continue to underperform in the champions league . . they can buy ronaldo but they will never have the passion of manchester , for him to show his class in front of the fans

what's with this 'english players are trash' talk? ridiculous! the price tag might be inflated (see: gareth barry), but manchester united field rooney, carrick, brown, scholes, hargreaves, ferdinand & a pretty decent welshman in ryan giggs, and last time i checked, they were doing okay for themselves. even if chelski is committed to buying half of the available players on all continents, john terry is probably their most important player, and when they won two league titles, no one scored more important goals than the cherub formally known as frank lampard. any doubt steven gerrard was the best player on the liverpool side that won the european championship? arsenal does play a nice style, but maybe they wouldn't have taken such a nose dive at the end of the season if they had a little english "character" (or at least patrick viera's french equivalent). english players are among the best in the world, perhaps not on par with brazil, but that's not exactly a crime.

let go of lampard. that lad only knowz to cataput ballz in the net, and if non of that chance arise, he z nowhere.check him in big games, hez nowhere. we have our own deco now, time to see some footwork. no namez this season. let perfomance be the criterion for squad selection. lay off the lamps, philips,drogbas we have had enough of them. Buy quaresma this time Big Phil pliz.English pleyaz are trash, no talent no nothing jus a bunch of rigid pple

salary cap? why don't we move the league to china with the rest of the communists? how about newcastle, west ham, tottenham, city, villa & everton spend a little of that cash they get for their young players? how does liverpool keep outperforming these clubs with an inferior stadium? it's because the fans won't stand for the owners keeping every penny for themselves. you minnow supporters just throw your hands in the air and give up the minute you see man u & chelski buying players, "oh no, we can't compete!". well, why don't you try? when you spend 50 million on your first XI, and the league HANDS you over a hundred million pounds just for playing ~ the money is going somewhere.

A salary cap would make the epl 200x more exciting

Darren Bent should go to Sunderland, definate games a alright salery i'm not sunderland or hotspur fan i support ipswich where Bent came fom and i say TAKE IT!!

This article is about the English Premier League, but of all the names mentioned, only 3 are English: Crouch, Lampard and Bent.

Meanwhile, with all these foreign names being linked to English clubs, how many English players are linked to foreign clubs? In this article, Lampard is the only one, and as far as I remember, Lampard has been the only one of any significance since Beckham was chased by that American pub team.

People keep saying that England didn't make the Euro 2008 because there were too many foreign players.

So is it because the owners and managers are overlooking the English players?

Or is it because they HAVE looked at them but decided they were not good enough, a conclusion shared by foreign managers?

You have only to know the nationality of a manager , to realise what nationality he would prefer his players to be .....Wenger Arsenal ( French ) obviously ...when he fielded not one english player in a premiership game .English football has long since ......NOT been english football

I agree with stevie, scottish football doesn't merit any coverage, so why bother wasting any time reporting on it? Sorry if this upset's people, but lets face it, it's just europes answer to retirement for footballers!!
