Maybe they got the train up and coach back. I guess if the traffic is a mare getting into London they would be fresher after a short train ride than sat around on a coach?

That line-up is desperately short of pace, or any cutting edge.

“He will get fitter and stronger, not least of all because he’s still a very young man and his body has not yet reached its proper proportions for the level at which he wants to play.” In other words the fat f*cker still hasn't filled out yet.

OK, replace sh!t with average/mediocre. Fact is that generally we are not good at it, after every miserable failure of a tournament the same discussions happen about coaching, setups etc but it's all nonsense. It's just excuses from people who cannot face the facts.

England have always been sh!t, the one time they won anything they needed home advantage and a cheating linesman. People blame the set-up, the coaching, the Premier League - it's all nonsense. Fact is we are, as a country, not very good at football. We have more football clubs than any other country by a mile, we have the best training facilities money can buy, tried the best managers/coaches - yet we are still garbage. There is only so much any coaches can do with talentless players, no set up in the World will change how bad we are - the problem is England fans can't face the fact that we are not very good at the game we invented so they look for excuses.

If people are happy with us developing players and them f*cking off after a handful of appearances then I think it's a very sad.

Because I've had farts that have lasted longer than his Saints career. You would think he would have some degree of loyalty.

Except he wasn't good enough last season according to Woy.

Takes the ****ing ****, no way he would be in the squad if still at Saints. I will be supporting whoever plays England from now on, can't support a team with a c*nt like Rooney as captain and w@nkers like Chambers and Lallana in it.

Shrewsbury at home. We just need the easiest draw possible to get through, I've lost interest in the League already - lets just get to Wembley.

But option 2 only exists because of political correctness. Saying "the rapists were all Pakistanis" is not racist, it's stating a fact.

I disagree, there are two separate issues here. 1 - the crimes that were committed and 2 - the fact that the crimes were not acted upon or covered up. Political correctness is clearly to blame for the second point.

NC wanted to leave, what could the club do to stop him, tie him to his chair? If the owners don't want to spend what he wanted to spend that is up to them, it's pointless moaning about it.

If he goes then the only person who deserves any flack is the player himself, the board are in a difficult position and if the player is being an unsettling influence or not performing as he should selling may be the best decision.

LOL at Lambert, still not scored. Will his ass even make the bench for their next game now that Balotelli is there?

It's so great watching them scouse c*nts lose.

My Arsenal supporting mate reckoned Pires took about a year to adjust to the pace of the Premier League as well. The problem with Pelle is he's such a big unit, Lambert got away with it because he was used to the physical side and was excellent at reading the game.

This. It always amazes me the sort of mongs you get on this place. He was just having a laff, and for charity. I guess internet message boards are a magnet for socially inept weirdos.

This. No one can expect people to live in the conditions forced upon Gaza by Israel's blockade and expect no reaction. If I was living in Gaza I'm pretty sure I would be one of the guys firing rockets.

I would play the full first team, they need all the practice they can get.

He is a sh!t pundit but there are plenty of people on here who seem to think we are immune from relegation so he has a point.

Savage is right, we are just one of many clubs who could go down if we don't sort our sh!t out. Better squads than ours have been relegated before.

Selling Lambert for 4 and paying 9 for Pelle is beginning to look like utter madness. I thought offloading Lambert would give us a chance to have more movement up front but we've actually managed to find someone less mobile.

Everyone does it all the time except no one has really ever done it before have they, ie: flog the whole spine of a successful side.

That game was awful, it's going to be a long season.
