Hang on, I'm getting confused. It's in the Daily "Fail" , aren't we meant to ignore anything in there. Do we ignore everything or are stories that we approve of true.

Just about sums it up, lets give everyone a game. I suppose foster will come on at half time. Its the world cup ffs , not a testimonial.

Anyone who can't see the difference is either an idiot or on a wind up.

This is the argument that "subjects" put forward all the time. Name a ridiculous figure and then "imagine" them as president. Blair, Branston, President Boris. What about King Charles, or King Andrew. We go around the world imposing democracy and deposing Saddam and the like. The only difference between the Germans Reigning over us and Gaddaffi or Assad is timing, how do you think the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's came to rule us? By being nice chaps that the public insisted became head of state?

First off he's an Argue, so is hardly likely to want to do it. Secondly, the English press and supporters aren't going to put up with us continually throwing leads away. Thirdly, his style of football needs hours and hours of coaching and organisation, something a national manager won't get the hours to do and fourthly, our whole system is underpinned by continental players. Its telling that his first signing was victor, there is no English player with the ability needed to play that role at the top level ( and don't say cork). We also have 2 decent centre halfs, both from abroad. Jags and Cahill will be ripped apart in our system, whose going to play, lescott, Jones, smalling. Liverpool were better than us, Roy took most of their Englishmen and we are out after a week.

If its all about economics why don't we sell it to the highest bidder? If its about value for money, then maybe some rich person will do it for free. I don't sing it, and will never sing it.

Funny how everybody I talk to about England, names players that should be playing and funny enough they all come from the team they support. Clyne was kept out by a 19 year old in his debut season and jack cork is really not good enough. As for JWP, I presume the poster calling for his inclusion is either related or still drunk from last night. Reading this forum the answer to England's 45 year old problem is to pick all the English born players from England's 8th best team.

I heard Pearce on " my sporting life" and he came across as funny, down to earth and had some great stories about Cloughie. One that made me laugh should be used on today's superstars. Following his first call up , cloughie called him into his office . " Young man, do you think you're good enough for international football", he asked "I think so " replied Pearce, " well I ****ing don't". Replied Clough. Pearce credits moments like that with keeping his feet on the ground. He also went on about his time running the u21' and how English players don't use the lower age group tournament to get experience of tournament football, whereas the Germans do.

Id like to see Chambers as a right sided centre half, so 3 at the back wouldn't necessarily mean Yoshida playing. Personally I think our present full backs are made for that system, but if Shaw goes not sure who would fit in.

The cosy buddy buddy analysis from the "experts" is a bloody joke. You can have expros on, but they need to say it how it is. They do in cricket, boycs in particular. He'd have laid into Hart informing the viewers that his mum could have saved the second with a stick of rhubarb . All this "unlucky" and "they did well", no wonder they think they're world class.

Woy got carried away with liverpools season and the way their English players played this season. Forgetting that Suarez was the main reason for their sucsess, he went against his 30 years of managing and tried to turn himself into a different sort of manager. We should of sat in against Italy and again today and been hard to beat, instead of that we were ****ing easy to beat. Unlike others on here I do think you can play Gerrard and Henderson but not as a central 2, play as a 3 . The only way you can be as open as we were is if you've got world class defenders, we have **** poor defenders that can only get by with plenty of protection. We should have played a 4-3-3 becoming a 4-5-1 when they had the ball. Why we persist with this "number 10" nonsense when we haven't got a world class 10 I dont know. Sven would have had us sat in , probably got 2 draws and then onto beat Costa Rica to go through. Boring maybe, but the result is the be all and end all of everything. We have not got the players or the brains to blow away top teams. Cole should have been there, lallana instead of rooney and id have even played that scapegoat Milner to tighten up the midfield. I thought Roy got caught between 2 stools this campaign , he wasn't given the job because he was an attack minded free flowing type of guy. He got where he is by being organised and difficult to break down, why he decided to try and be something hr wasn't god only knows Anyone who thinks we were unlucky tonight is deluding themselves.

It was around '92, I had a ticket in a Liverpool section that day and they did applaud. Actually they were great with us, but then again they won 4-2 if I remember correctly.

The one game I don't want on sky. 3pm sat and I have a great reunion with some old mates from up there. Sky games **** the whole travel/drinking time up. When do sky announce their games?

Shocking, what a pile of pony. " The sun drenched city". FFS, I reckon the bloke ringing him with the mental disorder is Allen himself.

Its not the same. When Rickie scored against the jocks I nearly burst with pride, I was on holiday in the hotel bar and I nearly took the roof off. As well as I want England to do, even if he scores the winner Thurs it won't feel liker that night.

All 3 will still want to go and I'd imagine all 3 will go . The only thing this may have done is stop the Morgan, victor , chambers ect following them.

This. I wasn't even ****ed off he was left out, couldn't give a toss. Baines was rubbish, but not really bothered whether Shaw plays instead. Couldn't even get excited about one of our players playing in the opener. I was really looking forward to capping off a great season by watching our stars against the worlds best, but those disloyal ****s ruined that.

Two Kooooeeemans, There's only two Koooooeeemans two Koooooeeemans there's only two kooooooeeeemans.

Shall I add ITV to the list of saints haters?

The best player on the park was as slow as me.

Lol, funny how everyone who starts a sentence with " you know who Woy should play" always seems to end up recommending players from the team they support. If you canvassed every single premiership manager and player I doubt if one would play cork instead of Gerard. In fact I doubt if cork himself would pick himself over Gerard.

**** me, pirlo is class. Could play the game smoking a cigar. He knew when to slow the game down,when to quicken it up. Its one thing English players lack, learning the tempo of the game. He's a ****ing magician, yet if he was English it would all be about his lack of work rate . We ruined people like Tony Currie, whereas the Europeans value them. I remember Currie ****ing all over the Germans at Wembley, but he didn't fit the English game. If pirlo was English he'd have been sat at home tonight. Do people still think Ashley Cole is finished, Baines isn't in the same league. Rooney and Wilshire WTF? There's the core of a decent side, but we need to grow up quick and learn the lessons.

FFS, Stirling is a good player, he ended the season on fire. It's got nothing to do with SG being his mate, he's been picked on merit. I don't agree with Wellbeck for Adam, but I can see why. He'll get to Pirlo quicker and in a defensive safety first performance he'll offer better cover for the full back than Adam does.

Lol at Chiles on ITV when talking about WBA's new appointment.

I've seen this a few times, on here and FB. People are getting confused. Free agents stay with their existing clubs until 1st July , eg Sagna is an Arsenal player until 1st July before moving to City. As you rightly say Rickie is now a Liverpool player.
