BWP is wearing 99. Goals at 1.00, 2.20, 4.40 (Henry, Assisted by BWP) & 6.40. There's also a good couple of saves from the Houston keeper to deny BWP.

Who'd have thought it, Lloyd Sam and Thierry Henry in the same team?8 -
Almost forgot about BWP. At least he was a goal scorer, that was his game.
Struggles when short of confidence but would try and make up for it by working hard.2 -
Lloyd Sam would be a big improvement on our current side6
-
he's better than anything we currently have, should never have got rid of him
edit: I mean BWP NOT Lloyd Sam !!!!6 -

Just shows how poor the MLS is.5

Bover playing in that game as well0
-
Ruben Bover put the ball in the net before the pen as well.1

great gesture from henry to let bwp take the pen for his hat... would take him back anyday but saying that he's no church! ;-)1

How long before we have a "For those still banging on about BWP" thread? ;-)6

Pleased for Bradley. His 20+ goals for us in 2011/12 season should never be forgotten. Without his goals we would not have won the league with such a margin. Disappointed he left when he did. Would have him back in our squad at the moment5

dont know why,,,lloyd sam is a better right winger than jordan cousins. he would be a big improvement in what we have at the moment because we dont have any right wingers.cafctom said:

Lloyd Sam wasn't good enough for us in League One, which is why we binned him off.
Jordan Cousins may not be a natural right winger but at least he provides energy and is an assured player on the ball. Same can't be said of lazy Lloyd.2 -
Always liked BWP, he looks full of confidence and his runs were great, good luck to him.0

fair dos. i agree he never came anywhere near to fulfilling his potential as he has really good tekkers lloyd in terms of controlling a football. i just thought you were a bit harsh on paulsturgess lol, i think its reasonable to say that LS would improve the current side, its not a ridiculous view.

Ha ha you know BWP wants to run around and celebrate his goals but instead his trying his hardest to look as miserable as possible to impress Henry.12
-
Dear god that's a combination of terrible defending and terrible commentary. Henry looks like he never breaks into a sprint in the entire game. "Wow look at Henry looking up to see where the player in the box is, what brilliant awareness" urrm...
Would love to have Henry's life right now. Paid millions a year to jog around and look fancy and be treated like a soccer god.3 -
I reckon Dailly & Doherty could do a job for Houston :-)0

The defending is abysmal.
Poor reffing for the penalty decision, why not just let the play go on another 2 seconds?
Fair play to BWP though, title winning hero for us and always good to see decent ex-Charlton men doing well.1 -
That defending was worse than we saw in L1. Not holding the lines, crap marking, letting the striker get in front of you on crosses.
Fair play to BWP and glad he's scoring (albeit below his level imo) but there's no way I'd want him back unless we were back in L1.
Lloyd Sam back too? No thanks.1 -
That defending is not representative of MLS as a whole I'd say. I watch it whenever there is a live game on BT Sport/ESPN. Would have the standard ranked as lower-mid Championship when you consider there are some L1 players (the likes of BWP and Lloyd Sam) mixing it up with Prem level players (Henry, Cahill, Cudicini, Keane, Dempsey).0

Just looked on the salary details for MLS.
Ruben Bover is on $36,000 a year compared to Defoe who's on $6.5m0 -
Defoe is a touch better though...3
-
henry, cahill, keane and dempsey are all a lot slower now though. Cahill, Keane and Dempsey were beginning to struggle in the prem by the time they left.cafctom said:That defending is not representative of MLS as a whole I'd say.

of course but it was Bovers salary that surprised me. I know quality of life is better but £25k a year for a pro footballer is conference salary.Addicted said:Defoe is a touch better though...

Its amazing how little they earn out there if they are just a regular player. The avergae is about $50,000.
Yet the attendances at the games are decent. Seattle Sounders are capable of pulling in 50,000+ for big games.0 -
yeah me too. nothing id rather do then get paid to play football but not sure id fancy that wage, where does 25K a year get you in the States?ValleyGary said:

my pal played for St Louis college and then into the feeder league for MLS which is the Premier Development League. he gave it up because he could earn double the base salary working in an office. you simply would not get that in England!
