Leading Scorers

Matt — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:07:46 +0000

A quick look at the top scorers list to-date in the CCC shows a few stalwarts at this level, and a surprise or two:

Top Ten

1. Kevin Phillips, WBA-16
2. Michael Mifsud, Coventry-15
3. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Plymouth/Wolves- 13
4. James Beattie, Sheffield Utd- 13
5. Andy Gray, Burnley- 13
6. Clinton Morrison, Crystal Palace- 12
7. Ricardo Fuller, Stoke- 12
8. Martin Paterson, Scunthorpe- 11
9. Marlon King, Watford- 11
10. Pablo Counago, Ipswich- 10

For me the most impressive name on the list is Ricardo Fuller of Stoke City; the fact that he is banging them is basically why the Potters are currently laughing in 4th position.

Kevin Phillips isn’t too much of a surprise, although he is certainly on the wrong side of his prime, so that he leads the list is a bit of a nice surprise for Baggies fans.

The other names are more or less usual suspects, but Michael Mifsud’s legendary performances in the Sky Blues cup run certainly deserve special mention. Enjoy these crackers from the Maltese marauder as the Sky Blues demolished Man Utd:

Boxing Day Feast

Matt — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 05:32:59 +0000

Happy Holiday’s to All,

Hopefully you all got just what you wanted for Christmas, which was without doubt this fine effort from Norwich City circa 1994. And I hope everyone will also enjoy the annual Boxing Day bash when just about every football team in England suits up and takes to the pitch.

No huge surprises in the table at Christmas time, although Bristol City has maintained their playoff form, and a resurgent Stoke side now sits pretty in 4th spot.

At the other end of the table, Leicester manager Ian Holloway will be enjoying the coal he has gotten in his stocking as the Foxes occupy 22nd position, the last of the relegation spots. Former club Plymouth may be in bit more festive mood as they sit in 8th spot.

Quite an entertaining fixture list in the CCC on the 26th, some highlights include:

West Brom v Bristol City

Hull v Wolves

Sheff Utd v Blackpool

Plymouth v QPR

Pride of the Shirt — Watford (Home) 07/08

Nick — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 18:02:16 +0000

The Hornets will look to bounce straight back into the Premiership wearing these fine efforts.

Pride of the Shirt — Burnley (Away) 07/08

Nick — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:36:44 +0000

Burnley will switch from claret, to white on their travels away from Turf Moor.

Pride of the Shirt — Leicester City (Home) 07/09

Nick — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:04:54 +0000

The Foxes will be doing their very best to secure a spot in the Premier League in these decent efforts.

I’m not overly keen on the sponsor logo — particularly the little cartoon piece of tile.

I’d hazard a guess that it’s the first time an animated piece of tile has appeared on a football shirt.

Also, doesn’t the bloke in the middle picture look deep in contemplation? Dreaming of the beach?

Pride of the Shirt — Preston North End (Home) 07/08

Nick — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:39:33 +0000

Sadly for PNE fans, it’s unlikely they’ll get to see David Nugent playing in this shirt next season.

Pride of the Shirt — Ipswich Town (Home) 07/09

Nick — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 06:57:58 +0000

Ipswich Town’s players will be running around Portman Road in these rather uninspiring pin-stripped efforts from Mitre — a company who’ve been out of the shirt making business for a few years.

Judging by this blah design, some rust might have set in while they were away.

They honestly look like off the rack Mitre shirts with the Ipswich crest sewn on.

Pride of the Shirt — Notts County (Home) 07/08

Nick — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:34:01 +0000

County players will surely be quite pleased that this current design compares favorably against the previous effort in the video.

Birmingham City Won’t Be Wearing This Shirt in the Football League

Nick — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:41:08 +0000

As they leave the Football League for the dizzy heights of the Premier League, Birmingham City tip a hat to their past in this pretty nice shirt from Umbro.

Pride of the Shirt — Wolverhampton Wanderers (Away) 07/08

Nick — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:44:12 +0000

After consultation with manager Mick McCarthy and a ‘Fans Parliament’, Wolves will be sporting this elegant navy blue shirt on their travels this upcoming season.
