101
missed dublin, wayne fucking rooney
― i dont love everything, i love football (darraghmac), Monday, 11 October 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago)
101 overall. only missed 1 of the 100+ scorers (101, has been mentioned in thread!), missed two arsenal players although they are both ones i don't care to remember. Tried putting in Italian 25 and 46 non-Arsenal player and 43 Russian but must have mispelt their names. Most annoying misses are 79, 74 and 57 Spanish as I was too busy racking my brains for former goalscorers to remember current ones!

06/07 was the West Ham of Tevez & (briefly) Mascherano - don't think they were setting any unbeaten records that year.

Real Zaragoza[edit]On 9 July 2009, Pennant passed a medical and signed a three-year deal at Real Zaragoza.[32] He made his La Liga debut first round of the season, and played for 71 minutes in Zaragoza's 1–0 win over CD Tenerife.[33] The team had languished near the bottom of the table all season and his performances had also come into question, as he looked uncomfortable and still seemed unfamiliar with his surroundings.[34] On 24 February 2010, he was reprimanded by coach José Aurelio Gay after turning up late for training three times in the space of two weeks; he was sent home on the third occasion and disciplined.[34] He never played for "La Blanquillos" again.
