The England thread

[Rafael]

Oh fuck, we're doomed! Poor man's Heskey is going to demolish Brazil!

[Dan]

For England:
Welback: 5 Goals in 16 Games

Heskey: 7 Goals in 62 Games

:/

[TCO]

Both teams where shit. Don't know why the Irish players look so happy, they where terrible, a draw against England isn't really a good result for them.

It's a great result. This is a team ranging from Championship level to above average, Sean St. Ledger doesn't even have a club! Also a team who got whitewashed at the Euros. Going to Wembley and getting a draw is a very solid result for us, I'm happy.

Exactly. Heskey was better, he's scored more goals.

[Dan]

Just like Dave Nugent is better than Gabby Agbonlahor

[Rafael]

Give me one season where Heskey scored 1 goal in 39 games.

Fuck, I had no idea his goal record was so poor.

[Dan]

Eh, I thought we where talking about for England. Welbeck is decent enough for his country, can hardly compare him and Heskey at that level.

But you could compare:

Heskey 1 goal in 28 PL 2011-12

Welbeck 1 goal in 26 PL 2012-13

If he can't score for Man United, why should he be any where near the England side?

[Dan]

Because club form clearly doesn't matter to the England set-up.

And Man Utd have RVP

[stokeriño]

Kind of surprised (and yet kind of not) to discover that Lampard is now only one goal away from equaling Alan Shearer for England goals.

[Dan]

Shearer only played 63 times for England? Never knew that.

[MJB]

If he can't score for Man United, why should he be any where near the England side?

He runs about a lot.

[Hobo]

Roy Hodgson looks kind of like an owl.

That is the only interesting thing about him.

[brenchill]

How Roy Hodgson is the manager of the England team I will never fucking know.

Talk about a face fitting.

[brenchill]

I'm on my phone so can't post the article but Lineker (real one) has rubbished Hodgson's tactics, saying we are in the "dark ages" under Woy

[Hobo]

This is a man who thought Pepe Reina needed to play like an English goalkeeper.

[Ant]

Brazil are going to annihilate us. It's surprising too actually as, under any other manager with the squad we have, we would have had a chance to win on Saturday.

But we have Welbeck back for Sunday!

[9 to 5]

I would fucking love it if Welbeck got the winning goal now. >_>
