Darloboy Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Ah, it's always fun to watch the England backlash. Reading around today, the amount of comments saying we're shite, we had a piss easy group, we'll choke as soon as we meet a decent team etc. If there's one thing more tedious than the media suggesting we're the best team on the planet, it's everyone else sniping at England and England fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONO Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I see channel 5 have started it already. Their lead story today was England qualifying for the World Cup. The second story was about some guy that murdered someone over a Facebook argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 England squad for World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus: Goalkeepers: Paul Robinson (Blackburn), Robert Green (West Ham), David James (Portsmouth) Defenders: Ashley Cole (Chelsea), John Terry (Chelsea), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Wayne Bridge (Manchester City), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), Wes Brown (Manchester United), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Matthew Upson (West Ham) Midfielders: James Milner (Aston Villa), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham); Strikers: Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Peter Crouch (Tottenham), Carlton Cole (West Ham), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) There's our squad for next week, I think Darren Bent is unlucky not to get in after all these goals. I'm sick of Heskey but he wasn't gonna be left out. We've already qualified so he sould change it round a bit, I'd like to see Carlton Cole & James Milner get starts but I highly doubt it'll happen.

Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 No Defoe? I'd like to see Gabby get a run out with Rooney, but I doubt that'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McFly Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Seriously, what does Darren Bent have to do to get a look in? Surely you could bump Carlton Cole for him. I assume Defoe's not there so as not to risk his broken hand/fingers and would be there if he was fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 World Cup on current form: Rooney. Defoe as the little fella. Crouch as the big "option" fella. Bent as the fast fella. Agbonlahor as the other fella. When Heskey comes on for Vill he ruins their shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 So England v Ukraine will only be available via live web stream, costing anything from 4.99 to 11.99 depending on when you order it. What a crock of shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokeriño Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 You say that as if many people would actually bother to watch it if it were on TV. I know I wouldn't have bothered buying the rights to the matches if I were Sky/ESPN/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm not sure what would satisfy the general populous at this point, back on the BBC? I think England could play in someones back yard and they'd still complain that Rooney was spitting on the flower bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agbonlahor as the other fella. When Heskey comes on for Vill he ruins their shape. And yet, when he's used properly as he has been by Capello, he allows others to shine. Hmmm. Unless he's injured, or Peter Crouch suddenly puts on about 3 stone of muscle and morphs into a completely different player, Heskey will be going to the World Cup. Why people can't understand this I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Defoe's not there so as not to risk his broken hand/fingers and would be there if he was fit. Why bump Cole? I'm really glad he's in the squad, he deserves it. He's on form, scoring goals and is becoming a very good footballer. He is, for me, a better 'big' striker than Peter Crouch, and I do rate Crouchy. I can't see why Heskey is still being picked when he isn't even first choice for his club, he isn't picking Owen. I stuck up for Heskey for a while but wasn't impressed in the last couple of England games tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therockbox Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Except that's a load of bollocks. You really think Fabio Capello is the type of manager to keep an 'unimpressive' player in the squad, let alone first eleven? Heskey isn't in the set-up to be flashy or get on the Match of the Day highlights, he's there to bully entire defences to allow Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard (and hopefully Cole) to shine. If we're going to win the World Cup they're going to win it, and they have a greater chance of doing so with Heskey ahead of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. I've never seen Cole dominate an entire back line in the way that Heskey has under Capello. Cole's a good option to have though, especially the player that seems to be developing under Zola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Joe Hart from Birmingham, and Bolton's Gary Cahill, have been called up to the England squad to replace Paul Robinson and Joleon Lescott, who are both injured. I'm sure neither will get a game, but it'd be good if they did get a taste of international action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
