The England thread

[MDK]

Gazza sounds like an old drunk

[Colly]

Probably because he is an old drunk sadly.

[Lineker]

Gary Cahill has gone to hospital for an x-ray on his injured jaw, just as a precaution.

[Lineker]

Rooney on for Welbeck.

[Summers]

Really not keen on this set up. Parker/Gerrard as a midfield two is poor. A shuffle would be helpful. Milner/Parker in the middle, Gerrard ahead of them and Young/Ox wide. Not perfect but I think that it'd flow better.

[Lineker]

Defoe (for Young) and Walcott (for Oxlade-Chamberlain) are coming on.

Defoe's hair

[Lineker]

The vast majority of our players did something to that effect to their hair for the closing stages of the season. Even Adebayor

Jagielka on for Terry.

[Summers]

What a hit by Gillet.

[MDK]

_{Gillet, the best a man can get}

[Lineker]

Defoe hits the post now!

[Hobo]

Yeah, this team is going to struggle against more technical teams. They can't hold the ball and none of Harts kick outs can find a team mate.

[MDK]

I'm glad Defoe is in the squad, I always fancy him to score.

Henderson is coming on, oh boy.

[Lineker]

Captain Roo!

[Summers]

Was gonna say that about Defoe, while I easily prefer Bent, Defoe always looks ready to score, and he'll always go for a few shots.

[MJB]

That's the issue of Vice-Captaincy sorted then.

Unless Gerrard has a problem in the opening two games

[MDK]

A win is a win. Our defence looks solid enough and we have a top keeper, but our midfield isn't up to par and I think I'd be more confident with Defoe up front instead of Wellbeck.

Again, if we lose to France I can never see my missus again.

Somewhere in the Midlands, a certain Priest's ears are pricking up.

She isn't a 10 year old alter boy.

Whoa, Gazz is more messed up than I originally thought.
