If down to me.... Starting XI (4-1-3-2) Hart, Clyne, Bertrand, Shawcross, Stones; Dier, Alli; Barkley, Sterling; Vardy, Kane Rest of Squad Forster, Butland, Rose, Cahill, Smalling, Drinkwater, Delph, Walcott, Rooney, Sturrridge (or Welbeck), Lallana, Wilshere (or Shelvey)

Hodgson is going to **** it right up - it would be a miracle if he didn't. That MOTD interview was so depressing. We actually have the players to do well but he won't use them. None of Milner, Henderson, Carrick, Jones, Welbeck should be in the squad but a load of them will be and probably three of those will start. Out of form players like Cahill, Chamberlain and Walcott will go and in form players like Dier and Vardy probably won't. Vardy will be up against Welbeck for a place and he'll lose out if that's the case. Rooney injury just means that he'll be unfit for the tournament but he'll still play every game at the expense of Barkley. Hodgson has learnt absolutely nothing from the abysmal World Cup campaign. He could have used the easiest qualifying group in history to consign the likes of Milner and Carrick to the bin but you just know he'll arrive at the tournament and it'll be safety first - use the tried and failed. My money is on Stones being picked at right back. From a Saints perspective - Fraser will be 2nd choice and not get a game and Bertrand, though he should be first choice, won't even go as Baines (can't defend), Gibbs (never plays) and Rose (bang average) will be ahead of him. My predicted Hodgson team for the first game. --------------Hart Stones, Cahill, Smalling, Baines -------Carrick, Henderson Sterling, Rooney, Welbeck ------------Kane Rest of squad: Forster, Butland, Clyne, Rose, Jones, Milner, Alli, Lallana, Chamberlain, Walcott, Barkley, Sturridge Out: Jagielka, Bertrand, Shelvey, Dier, Vardy, Delph, Wilshere (injured)

Finally got round to being arsed to do the FA Cup game http://leagueoneminus10.blogspot.co.uk/ https://twitter.com/L1minus10

No, I think the membership of that particular club is quite high. Too old to change.... I was on holiday over Xmas so had to catch up. Being late is no problem as long as I get my move to Man United and they pay me £150k a week Yet.... Cheers.

Every so often I forget that 99% of pro footballers are tossers. You have to remind yourself constantly to save getting depressed about everything....

Could have been a different game if we'd either started well or if Tadic had scored. Yoshida was **** throughout but we were so sloppy everywhere. JWP was totally irrelevant. People should get a grip, 2 of City's front 3 cost £50m each and the other one is Aguero.

Stekelenburg 8 - good keeper - Forster hasn't been missed Martina 0 - utter crap. McCarthy or Stephens would have done a better job. Cedric 7 - improving all the time Clasie 6.5 - very good player. can see why we bought him. Juanmi 2 - have seen nothing to suggest he's got anything VvD 9 - player of the season shoo-in Romeu 6 - Good signing but can only play instead of Vic, not with him. Caulker 6 - played alright when called upon - good loan to cover Gardos injury

Cheap buy, similar to Mayuka in terms of fee. Unlikely to succeed based on what I've seen so far. Small forwards have to have something exceptional to do well in the Premier League, either pace or skill or great vision. Havne;t seen anything to suggest this guy has any of these attributes.

You're welcome. Yes, written before but you wouldn't know it. That's the thing with England - so predictable. Yes. As Redknapp (of all people) said - we have no style of play at all. That's down to the manager. From what I saw he did well... I still feel that it will do him no good though. Milner will be a waste of a squad place but he'll be in there somewhere. He will make an appearance in every game though. Phil Jones is a laughable selection. Honestly, he's no better than Caulker.
