Really? Perhaps contract negotiations could go a little like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amZsdpLXcIo

Yes, but that reason wasn't that all the players were sh*t. Look at Newcastle, there are lots of problems at that club but if Benitez had come in earlier they may well of stayed up. There are some good players there that are not playing to their full potential.

What's up with Sammy Lee?

Yes, and we reached 3 quarter finals going out on penalties, perhaps that's our level? I would simply pick the best players, Wilshire IMO is one of our better players. I think the problem with the so-called golden generation is that Sven tried to pick them all and consequently we didn't have the right balance in the team. Oh and is Wilshire really a 'superstar player'? I don't think so. He was a young player who burst onto the scene with a lot of hype, playing for a big club and has suffered massively with injuries. Not his fault. He's an easy target for those fans who like to jump on the bandwagon and find a hate figure. I'll say it again, Wilshire is a massive talent who when fit and in form is a certain starter for England. I very much like the idea of him playing alongside Dier at the base of the England midfield.

England will never improve if they pick a player like Noble ahead of a player like Wilshire.

Good call from Roy IMO, he has been excellent in the (admittedly few) games he's played for England.

I don't think there is any doubt that he will go to the Euros. A superb signing for us and for him, he has resurrected his career by signing for Saints.

I just hope we can take this good form into the new season like Leicester did.

Stones very impressive

Agreed, so much more interesting when it was City, Chelsea, United and Arsenal occupying the top four positions year in year out. This season has been so dull

Well FWIW I think Leicester have been magnificent this season and fully deserve to win the title. Yes, they have been fortunate in that all the big clubs have been so poor but that have done it by playing decent football and without flashing the cash like so many other clubs. Good luck to them, I hope they win it.

Cheers mate, was on another stream but kept cutting out.

Best stream for today anyone?

Why oh why don't we leave Mane or Long or both even up the pitch for corners? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone tell Dalek

But Gibbs wasn't picked for this squad, Bertrand and Rose were. As for a new dynamic England well didn't we see that on Saturday. Honestly, people just slag off Hodgson for no good reason.

Personally I'd like to see Wilshire back to form and fitness and in the team alongside Dier. He has been excellent in recent games for England playing in a deep role. Rooney IMO also has to go, maybe not start but he is the captain and looked up to by all the younger players, you need his experience. Hart Clyne Stones Smalling Bertrand Wilshire Dier Alli Sterling Kane Vardy All dependant upon form and fitness of course, formation can switch to 4-1-3-2 when necessary.

I wouldn't rule anything out in this of all seasons.

Must be some extra coaching from Dave Watson, he's not exactly a barrel of laughs either.

Brilliant, great commentary for the third. I do like a bit of Big Adam.

Big game for me too as my brother and his two lads are all West Ham fans and we'll be travelling up to the game together. They're thoroughly enjoying this season as they're playing proper football again.

Sportsmania stream channel anyone?

Pap's forum is a bit too much of a socialist wan*fest for me and of course totally dominated by Pap himself.

Do you think Smalling managed to get VvD's shirt after the game, he certainly wanted it during the game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone else having problems with Sportsmania?
