Fellas.

I'm not sure if this was a good topic to bring up, but out of curiosity, I would love to see a full Black team (plus subs & coach) play in the EPL. (current players only).

STARTING 11:

1.David James (Manchester City/England).

2.Kolo Toure (Arsenal/Ivory Coast).
3.Sol Campbell (Arsenal/England).
4.William Gallas (Chelsea/France).
5.Asley Cole (Arsenal/England).

6.Shaun Wright-Phillips (Chelsea/England).
7.Michael Essien (Chelsea/Ghana).
8.Lassana Diarra (Chelsea/France).
9.Nigel Reo-Coker (West Ham/England).

10.Thierry Henry (Arsenal/France).
11.Didier Drogba (Chelsea/Ivory Coast).

EXTRA 11:

12.Aiyegbeni Yakubu (Middlesbrough/Nigeria).
13.Anthony Warner (Fulham/Trinidad & Tobago).
14.Claude Makelele (Chelsea/France).
15.El-Hadji Diouf (Bolton/Senegal).
16.Darren Bent (Charlton/England).
17.Jason Roberts (Portsmouth/Grenada).
18.Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (Charlton/Holland).
19.Jlloyd Samuel (Aston Villa/Trinidad & Tobago).
20.Marlon Harewood (West Ham/England).
21.Papa Bouba Diop (Fulham/Senegal).
22.Radhi Jaidi (Bolton/Tunisia).

Does anyone know of any good Black Managers in the EPL ?

OVER HEAD LOOK:

James.
Toure, Campbell, Gallas, Cole.
Phillips, Essien, Diarra, Reo-Coker.
Henry, Drogba.

BREAK DOWN:

England - 7%
France - 4%
Ivory Coast - 2%
Senegal - 2%
Trinidad & Tobago - 2%
Ghana - 1%
Grenada - 1%
Holland - 1%
Nigeria - 1%

The only black man to mange in the EPL was Tigana. Viv Anderson was an assistant.

based on the players selected that squad is as good as any other in the prem and it still have men yuh could add.

Star Child · « **Reply #3 on:** July 13, 2006, 06:44:47 PM »

Good topic, cant see any team beating them though.

Jose Mourinho is the closest thing to Black in the EPL.

Doh fuhget Ruud Gullit. He did manage Chelsea and Newcastle.

Grande · « **Reply #5 on:** July 13, 2006, 06:53:48 PM »

well that look like most of the best right there that would make an all-star team

is up to find that elusive black EPL manager to make that team gel....but I do not think there is any

some thoughts otherwise on Flex's post:

- David James too shaky fuh days, how about Tim Howard?

- that is real fire down the wings

- Diarra has great potential but for his role I think he is still inexperienced. Maybe he can come in for Jay Jay Okocha, who is a boss despite his age

- No Aaron Lennon? He was quite impressive.

- Yakubu or Harewood startin for me over Drogba, I think they will compliment Henry more

Feliziano · « **Reply #6 on:** July 13, 2006, 06:55:44 PM »

Chris Hougton(sp) at Tottenham is black also.

Flex · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2006, 06:57:11 PM »

Jay Jay Okocha is not in the EPL anymore and wasn't sure if Ferdinand, Lennon and Howard was Black ? they look mix, no ? even though Anthony Warner and David James look mix too I just couldn't find another Black goalkeeper in the EPL, to bad Shaka Hislop left as he might have been the only Black keeper in the EPL.

Off coruse there's more Black players in the EPL, I just name a 22 man team who I like watching.

Grande · « **Reply #8 on:** July 13, 2006, 07:24:00 PM »

good call on Bouba Diop and Hasselbaink, Bouba Diop could score from anywhere and ppl quick to write off Hassellbaink since dey think he fall from grace since Chelsea, i feel he coulda cut it in de Dutch squad over Venegoor of Hesselink but I guess if Makaay eh make it, Hassellbaink have less chance

Midknight · « **Reply #9 on:** July 13, 2006, 07:36:52 PM »

I want a man to make the mistake of proposing a all indian footballer PFL club made up of all the best of the PFL, the Super League, the SSFL and the other leagues 'out of curiosity'...

kingman · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2006, 07:43:22 PM »

Flexo, I love this post. These are my slight changes.

I need to see Terry in that back line. Campbell suspect…...Terry and Toure holding down the center back position. Then Cole on the left with Galas on the right.

In the midfield, Diarra and Phillips have to go. Pave way for Aaron Lennon and Papa Bouba Diop. As much as I am not a favorite of Drogba, I guess I will keep him there for the time being. Another option will be to play with Henry alone up top and El-Hadji Diouf behind him playing like a withdrawn striker. That team will cause trouble. Or yes, almost forgot…..I need Keller in my goal and Bobby Convey as one of my subs. That grenadian youth could ride out.

Thanks!

Kingman

Kingman,

Terry, Convey and Keller is all white players, de man said an all BLACK team.

As for you Midknight, they may not have an all Indian team, because they might be good in other things, so whats your dam point ? a African team never win de world cup right ? but does that mean they no good... what de foock yuh getting at...

JDB · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2006, 09:18:05 PM »

Tallaman and Feliz right, I forget Gullit and Hughton.

And Flex I think yuh have to include Ferdinand, Jenas, Lennon etc because they have mixed parentage.

Latas want to coach. Give him this team if he mess this team up he is not coach material.

adebayor-aint that bad been showing he can get some in da goal
lauren-the arsenal defender would definteyl be on my wishlist.
LEDLEY KING barely mise dout on the england squad btu has the potential to be one of the best.

PantherX · « **Reply #17 on:** July 14, 2006, 12:26:30 AM »

Wonderful now lets pick an all white NBA team and a team of aborigines for the Aussie rules football league.

Yeah...that would be great.

Can't believe you have missed out Linvoy Primus as a reserve centre half.

superoli · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2006, 07:11:06 AM »

yeah the definition of black is very broad.....Ashley Cole, Jermaine Jenas, Bob Marley

, Gullit, Rijkaard, alotta the Brazil team etc.....and the list goes on- a bunch of mixed players commonly referred to as Black players.

Mih point have nothing to do with whether ah all indian team could win anything or not. I dont know how you manage to twist my words so badly... People does hear what they want to hear. I don't even know how you went from a all black epl team to talking about african teams never winning the world cup... That quantum leap is way out of my league

Since you didn't seem to ketch it, mih point was: i want to see someone propose something like that just to see how long it will take for men to start pounding him for being racist (racial?), narrow minded, rabble rousing, Sat horn chile etc etc when to be quite honest, Flex's hypothetical 'out of curiosity team' boils down to the same basic principle...

But then again I forget...no room for segregation
