Was a lickle joke, sweetheart.

I do hope his Burnley career is not airbrushed from history by the media. I hope the fact he is an ex - Burnley player is brought up every single time anyone ever talks about him.

Highly possible he won't ever be worth double that. He's still only a left back. I'd say MUFC are mainly planning to have Shaw as a United player for the next 12-15 years, as opposed to a sell - on investment.

Potato, potarto. Roy picking players he didn't really want to pick purely to give himself a reason to drop them for qualifying matches three months later on. Call it what you want, I call it your usual nonsense. You are incapable of accepting the idea that some stuff just kinda happens, so desperate is your need to see some higher, nefarious purpose at play in everything. I reckon Roy wanted to do well at this world cup, it's a shame you can't even accept that. And, nice try talking down to me about understanding the meaning of words. Just remember which one of us is the conspiro-idiot simpleton. Stick to your brilliant "resource" forum.

Everton is clearly Lallana's spiritual home. Born in Hertfordshire and grew up in Dorset and spent his entire professional career at clubs on the South coast, including eight years at Southampton. But clearly he is Everton through and through. He's probably up there with Graham Sharp, Howard Kendall, Bill Kenwright, Derek Hatton and Mike Parry off of Talksport.

Is there anything you can't retro - fit a bonkers conspiracy to? Call me a mindless brain-washed sheeple person but I kinda reckon Roy Hodgson was trying to do well in this world cup, not pick players he didn't like purely to justify dropping them for a games against San Marino and Switzerland in three months time.

Looks like yet MORE EVIDENCE* that Liverpool are doing all their transfer business IN PUBLIC**. What an utter disgrace FFS. *Not evidence **They're not.

Doubt he'll start - no real point. He isn't the future of England.

Nah, she always turned up.

I do love a bit of uninformed frothing at the mouth. There's nothing in that story to suggest it is evil old Liverpool that planted that story. Its very sweet that on this forum there remains a view that Adam Lallana is a sweet innocent helpless Saints devotee who had never considered earning more money or playing for one of world football's biggest clubs before horrible old Steven Gerrard got hold of him. Maybe, juuuust maybe, Adam Lallana wants to join Liverpool of his own free will?

Who isn't a world class striker either, not by any stretch of anyone's imagination.

What's the name for someone who thinks 9/11 was, like, all made up and that?

You do realise we are scheduled to play lots of international football matches in the next few years, regardless of how we play? This isn't Formula 1 or the Olympics. The anthems happen before kick off.

If nothing else provided a jolly good laugh in the morning. I imagine its already on there but you need to make sure this gets properly categorised on Pap's excellent "resource" forum. It's so good I've forgotten the name of it, but the academic rigour is absolutely second to none. Try and file it next to all the learned academics and structural engineers and definitely not retarded people watching video clips of 9/11 firemen and survivors and screaming about how terrible their acting is. Your invaluable find would only make that truly excellent resource even more excellently resourceful.

Bloody good tune, though.

Nice level of agreement on here. Have to say I used to get more annoyed with the likes of Stuart Pearce self consciously "passionately" screaming it out when the camera passed by him. Do me a favour. The current team give the song the cursory half-arsed mumble it deserves - its an effing awful anthem.

You're not giving up on the conspiracy bulls hit are you?

But, of course, if any of thrse saviours of England are linked to moves to clubs higher up the league then they wouldn't get a game and they'd just sit on the bench.

You are needed on the Lallana transfer thread. There's a few geniuses on there that think Lallana would only be a benchwarmer at Liverpool, behind Sterling in the pecking order. It's highly unlikely the results would be any different if Lallana was playing yesterday, he hardly lit up the game when he did rock up.

Oh absolutely, was using it as shorthand for popular opinion. There were no calls for James Milner pre either match.

You can make that point without selecting a load of random players that have no chance of making the current England team. Why would the goalie relegated with Norwich be a significant improvement in England playing together as a TEAM versus the keeper who won the league? And there are loads of players in the squad now that have trained together all season. But that team is Liverpool so it doesn't count, does it. Only Saints players have team spirit.

Someone who knows someone who had a former steward at the Dell in the back of their taxi.

This is a good post. Roy got carried away with the "play all our young wonderkids" calls, when really we should have played the most boring team imaginable and tried to grind it out, especially against Italy. Italy gave us space to play and we flattered to deceive. Uruguay didn't let us knock it about and we went to pieces. I feel sorry for Roy, but I think he got suckered into picking a team that The Sun wanted, rather than his own better judgement. Lashings of hindsight of course: Roy would have been slaughtered if Italy beat a "boring" England. He'll probably quit now, but I would be happy if he didn't.

If only a load of Saints players played instead everything would be fine. James Ward-Prowse? FFS.

Spain would hand us our arses on a plate.
