Agreed. The lyrics are embarrassing and the music is an awful, stunted dirge. Pathetic. No wonder they look about as inspired as a skid mark when they sing it.

He did not. He said that the best players he has worked with at Celtic are Forster, Virgil van Dijk and Wanyama. He said Wanyama has left and is at Southampton.

You did say recently that you wanted England to lose. For what it's worth, I agree with your previous post. Rooney should be dropped.

And three of the last four away. Stitch up!

I dislike it when people say or write "myself" in an inappropriate context. They usually should say or write "me".

You're joking? Pearce is unbelievably annoying. Managed to make Martin Keown sound intelligent tonight.

Although I applaud Hodgson giving some players a chance there are some fundamental and glaring problems with this squad and team. Squad: A Cole is much better than Baines and should be there. I think Shaw is also better than Baines. Clyne (and probably several other players) is/are much better than Johnson and should be there. Central midfield: I can't believe the over-reliance on Gerrard and Henderson. At least one of Carrick or Barry (or even Cork) should be there to protect the back four. The balance is completely wrong and it's not something that Lampard or Wilshere will fix. Neither of those latter two really deserve to be there. Team: Rooney out wide: obviously a stupid idea. Lallana, Ox (if fit) or Milner would do a better job. Barkley: massively over-rated IMO. Should have put Lambert or Lallana on earlier.

Maybe if Lallana had focussed a bit more instead of acting like a ***** he might have made the team.

Paul Hart must have turned us down.

Er, no. You said the deal was "done" when it quite clearly isn't.

Campbell would be a good shout. Would probably frustrate at times but he can get past people and has a good left foot (which adds a bit of variety to our options in terms of attacking from wide positions). I've got no idea what sort of fee Arsenal would want.

Yeah, but he's right. Exhibit some taste for goodness sake.

England are extremely weak at full-back, central midfield and striker. That's not good.

Clyne is the best of the three. Shaw is more noticed because he's a leftie.

You're coming across as a dribbling simpleton. Save some of your scorn for MP who always indicated he might not want to leave. He also had a year left on his contract. You're seriously suggesting that one of the board's first actions should have been to start an earnest hunt for a new manager when the incumbent is doing an excellent job, is widely popular and has a year and a half left on his contract? Genius. And I'm not sure why you are convinced we can't attract a decent replacement. By all accounts , Koeman and Yakin are interested. We are, rightly, not panicking to appoint the first decent candidate we interview. As for relegation: no chance, unless we sell Lallana, Shaw and several of Lovren, Morgan, Fonte, Wanyama etc and we don't sign anyone decent. You honestly think we're going to finish below several of West Brom, Sunderland, Swansea, West Ham, Stoke, Leicester, Burnley, QPR? It would take a monumental cock up to manage that and so far there is no reason to expect one.

I feel so sorry for Clyne. Deserves to be in Brazil at least as much as Shaw.

50p for every cruyff turn.

In fairness, I was right about Surman. He is also much better now than he was then. There aren't too many players who improve as much as he did between 24-26. That said, he clearly wasn't ****e!

Davis takes them for N Ireland, if I recall correctly? I would back Lovren because he's class and a legend and a proper lad. Failing that, I reckon Boruc is a good shout. Let's hope referees actually give us a fair chance of having some next season.

Arrogant little **** expects executive board members at his beck and call over the weekend? You signed a contract, spade face.

That's astonishingly naff!

Yeah

Do you know something?

Exactly, if you want the security of a long term deal then you can't expect to demand a move. Hope we tell him he's staying. If we accept a bid then I hope he fails the medical.

Really? I was hoping we would replace him with a better striker to be honest.
