The England thread

[ONO]

How are Young and Johnson doing on the wings? Young is usually non-existent for England. He really needs to work his magic tonight.

[Lineker]

Young has been alright, weaved inside and got a shot off before. Seems to have a decent understanding with Cole so far. Johnson has looked promising, some nice skills and crosses.

Wish Watford could get him back on loan again, just for a month!

How fucking ominous is the Montenegran anthem?

I loved it. Thats what they should be playing when England get a gold at the Commonwealth, its better than Jerusalem.

Also, any sympathy I had for Bent not playing vanished when he was shown sat in the crowd with daft big headphones.

[Lineker]

Apparently Italy vs. Serbia was abandoned after just 8 minutes due to violent fans or something. Will wait for more on this.

0-0 at Wembley. Very dull and frustrating game so far. Wales are losing to the Swiss 2-1. Elsewhere, Scotland are 1-0 down to Spain (Villa penalty) and Ireland are 1-1 in Slovenia.

Northern Ireland drew 1-1 against Faroe Islands this afternoon.

Andy Townsend thought a booking for Ashley Youngs double pike was harsh, yet found De Jongs legbreaker perfectly acceptable. Which side of the 'its a mans game' fence does he sit on?

[ONO]

Serbia and Italy was always going to have a bit of violence.

[Lineker]

Davies on for Crouch

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Serbian fans were disgusting. They were talking about awarding Italy the match after all that happened. They even booed their own national anthem, pretty ridiculous and disgraceful.

Another dire performance from England. Nothing positive to take out of it apart from Hart. Didn't have much to do but showed good distribution as usual. Very poor game.

[Lineker]

So dull. Awful game. SWP did come on late but nothing could penetrate their defence. Sure we should have had a penalty but what can you do. Improvement needed.

[Guest Jacob]

The media will no doubvt say the penalty decision cost us the game but we should not need to rely on a penalty decision to go our way. We should have enough quality on the pitch to win most games.

Oh..and for fuck sake PLEASE drop Rooney. He can only score with slappers not footballs.

Bent and Defoe for next game.

Considering they were whores he paid for, that proves your statement wrong.

Horrible country. [/racism]

Anyway, a shit night for both Irish teams. Typical performances really for both sides. Northern Ireland hold Italy in Belfast, and then talk about ripping apart Faroe Islands. They actually concede against a piss poor team and manage to scrape a draw. As for the Republic - get the early goal and sit back and let the other team score. Usual old story last Friday night as well. They play absolutely atrocious in the first half and then play their hearts out in the second after they're 3-1 down at home. But yeah, this is the England thread.

Actually he didn't pay.

Are those...dots? :/

[HailtotheYo]

If I remember correctly they are red/blue/green/purple crosses.

[Pesci]

That looks truly hideous.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I haven't seen a single England shirt that I'd pay full price for in my entire lifetime.

Within 6 months these go from £40 to about a tenner

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The last few away shirts have been pretty decent. The current red away shirt is the sexiest shirt England have had since '66.

[Colly]

Yup, and mine cost me a tenner since I didn't mind it having South Africa branding, 3-4 months after release. Cheers Mike Ashley!
