embarrased may not have been the right word, granted. But I would still wonder if he thought it was really all worth it in the end. You can quote players like Scholes and Pirlo, but they are not CF's, Defoe has been around the England team for years, as have all the rest you have quoted. The point is age is a barrier if you haven't been proved at a high level.

That is a good point actually, Matty was never the same after being left out of the 98 WC squad.

yeah, thats why it was moved to here, i know its hard, but do keep up.

you saw nothing in 20 mins of United possession, people like you, God, what are you expecting? I think the first few games for Saints Sharp was a bit anonymous, scored yeah, but a bit slow and crap, turned out alright though. The people that are judging him on 20 mins need to take a reality check.

I think thats right, i mean look at Kevin Davies, what a waste of time that was and he bet he is embarrased by it. Wouldnt want SRL to go through that, concentrate on the job in hand Rickie, Saints in the CL.

Now that I have kissed and made up with one of my biggest adversaries (Avenue Saint) (for the moment anyway), can we have a free for all on Love and Hate? See I just need to make it up with Alpine Saint (which i doubt will happen, because he's knob and nutjob), but give us the one you love and the one you hate. I'll kick off with HATE Alpine Saint LOVE Docker P

glad we're friends again x

lol!!

hello again, we talking now? Anyway, there were lots of comments in the post match thread, things like "he didnt look much good" etc. Ridiculous

you know, that is probably the one for me, still young enough to really care (more than anything else) and not been to Wembley to see us..

Wasnt he ****, at least that what was said by a lot on here after his 20 mins?

the various League Cup defeats to Luton, Oldham in the late 80's/90's

yes

apart from the fact he has scored more goals recently than any other England striker, would love to see that stats, goals to starts, bet Crouch would be well ahead. But hey, because he might get pulled up by a ref, lets not chance it!

exactly, christ if we cant find 4 top class strikers from the likes of Utd, City, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. what does that tell you about our talent. I love SRL, think he is a very good footballer, so much beter in the last couple of years, BUT if he gets in the England team as a 30 year old playing for a bottom of the league side, well, how desperate have we become? Lets face it, the big clubs wont be in for Rickie (thankfully), so how does that make him good enough for England? If it does, its because we have such a lack of young English talent. Would much rather see the likes of Sturridge being given plenty of games to improve and build for the future.

the sort of reply i would expect from some muppets on here. God, try some intelligence, you might like it.

If he plays for England, then that would just show how dire our international team choice is.

two points; the subs against City werent inspired, we were one down so we bring on our top goalscorer and an a more attacking midfielder, thats just plain simple, not inspired. It much more to make the right substitutions when you are winning with 20 mins to go, thats when you have to call it right. Secondly, if we play like that.... yeah, we have played three games whereby we have played well and lost, God help us when we play badly then!

The deal is and was connected with Walcott. Remember when we bought MS? We paid around 2 million form Strasbourg at a time when we were on the verge of administration. How did we do that? I believe it was all tied up in the renegotiated Walcott deal and so Arsenal buy the player for us and we have him until he is fit and proper, ready for The Gunners (very soon in my opinion). Clearly this all speculation Morgan said he didnt know anything about that (he would say that though wouldnt he), but I kept teasing him on all night and i could tell there was something in it from his reaction.

Fine, you have gone and gotten the facts, fair play for that. But why does everyone who I have spoken to, Sainst and non Saints say atthe very first instance, "what was Adkins doing with those subs?", and I mean literally everyone! From during the game, to straight after to days later, its the same openong gambit on the match. i could understand it if MOTD2 had highlighted that aspect, and everyone just jumped on the back of Hansen and Co etc. Maybe running the show was an exageration, but clearly we were getting forward, Puncheons shot, Lamberts left sided run, there could have been more to come. I am not daying NA should be sacked or anything like that, but I was ridiculed when I mooted the fact that when Capello left England, what about sacking NA and bringing him in. Purely based on the fact that if you dont think footballers are going to make it, ala Billy Sharp in the EPL, what makes you think that inexperienced managers would make it. Would you swap RL for RVP, of course you would. Would Capello or even Martinez and have made those substition calls, dont thinks so?

Never in doubt that he would emerge better in the EPL. It has been interesting watching him over the years, I remember in the 3rd div, how he struggled but you could see that behind it all, he was a proper footballer. Just a shame that Arsenal effectively bought him, give it a year or so, and they'll probably want him back.

it was on par with Sir Alf taking off Boby Charlton in the 70 WC against the Germans, thats how bad it was. Jesus, it lost us the game FFS. You can talk about bad marking, Davis etc. but the fact is that Utd werent getting near us, we didnt need to mark them because we were running the show, i think if we had left all 3 on we would have rolled out 3 or 4-1 winners. That would have taken marking RVP out of the equation.
