The England thread

[Gazz]

Phil Jones didn't want to share his Turkey Twizzlers with him, so flattened him.

[Lineker]

Adam Lallana has withdrawn from the squad.

Just didn't fancy it?

Groin playing up again.

[brenchill]

Wrist, boss.

[Gazz]

I'm tired

[MDK]

Wrist, boss.

Right, take your shorts off and get on the table

[Lineker]

Ryan Mason has been called up to the senior squad

[The Lusophone]

To replace Lallana I assume?

[TCO]

Mason is very average. He'd barely make our squad!

[Jimmy]

Delighted for Mason. I'm not sure he's the long-term solution, but he's been pretty good for us this season, and refreshing in terms of trying to play attacking football. I struggle to see how he fits in anywhere outside of Poch's system, but he's still very young at 23, and it's just nice to see players being rewarded for a bit of good form.

Turns out I've not been in this thread since September. Shows how depressing it all is.

Still, Yay for so many Tottenham players. Mason's been in form, Rose has been in form, Kane's been in form, Townsend's been in some form, Walker's been horrible but is one of those guys always around the fringes of the squad anyway so meh.

[Adam]

Sturridge is out too, surely adds to the prospect of a start for Kane.

And I'm delighted for Ryan Mason, I believe he's the first former Doncaster Rovers player to earn a senior England call-up in my lifetime. A cracking midfielder he was too for us.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Austin as a replacement for Sturridge, perhaps?

[Baddar]

Austin as a replacement for Sturridge, perhaps?

What?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

As said above, Sturridge pulled out of the squad, I assumed they'd call up a replacement like they did with all the other drop outs.

Or did they already replace him and I missed it?

[Baddar]

You missed my rather shocking attempt at a joke.

[Bobfoc]

Sturridge 3:16 says I'm injured again and need a replacement, please.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

You missed my rather shocking attempt at a joke.

To be fair, it was a shocking attempt

[TCO]

That really was terrible. Legitimate -1 for Baddar this time.

[brenchill]

I don't blame them all for pulling out the England squad. Over time is shit when you don't want it.

[Thrilla]

Danny Rose is out of the squad as well.

Maybe they should just start asking who actually wants to play for England.
