One of the better young talents Ive seen this world cup is Origi at Belgium, strong, quick, good feet and very positive, at 19 I think he is well worth a punt
-
Not sure targetts the future, he has barely made the bench this year let alone played, he may well be very good but obviously isnt really ready. I may be wrong though ?!
-
Another MLT exclusive.......
-
Not gonna lie Origi of Belgium has impressed me from day one, not really heard that much about him before
-
I dont mind doing it aslong as I get to delete the footage of my misdemeanors ? What make are they ?
-
I suppose you potentially have Lambert, but thats it, I dont see any up and coming either
-
Tbh there is noone else, Welbecks apparantly **** and Rooney has been ****
-
Any news v4.0 ?
-
Im sorry, just not a fan of Sturridge at this level, he simply isnt good enough to be that greedy, granted now he will score and this will be stuffed down my throat but unless he improves he wont be our first choice striker come 2016
-
I still maintain that was more Jagielkas fault then it was Gerrards
-
Thats not exactly what the sky sports birds said though.
-
Not peroni, get Coors on draft
-
Infinately this, just look so much more able to control the ball in the middle. Crazy The things you can do when not trying to accomodate Rooney
-
How many times have I said that
-
My bad, I quickly glanced and thought Id read Stirling in the number 9 position
-
You dont possibly know that, you are summising and interpreting it your way the same as everyone else. In theory she cpuld mean it one way or another. Its also possibly crap though I was told its 35m plus sales in which case that figure would be somewhat realistic in reality
-
Fact of the matter is Rooney had a much better game against Uraguay then agai st Italy (in which he was v poor) and Gerrard was ultimately poor as Hodgson put too much pressure on him IMO. Now, Ill hold my hands up and say Ive always been a huge Gerrard fan, but in reality he is past it as the force he once was, the problem however is we dont really have the personel to replace him. Realistically though Roy got his tactics wrong in my opinion, twice allowed our midfield to be overrun when it should have been a 433 and possibly is to blame for attempting to shoehorn Rooney into the team (difficult choice considering he has moments of brilliance) I for one am not completely enamored with Sturridge either if Im honest, greedy and wasteful he just doesnt effect a game enough. Why when employing Sterling on the left he didnt instruct him to go wide against a Uraguay that stayed compact is baffling aswell, the goal came from pace out wide, a rare moment that we got in behind. The midfield was too disjointed for us to attack their core, Gerrard and Hendo were overrun and couldnt support and the quartet were choked for space. The lack of room that Sterling got to run at people only begged the question of why Lallana wasnt employed to operate in the tight spaces ? Or simply use Sterlings pace to go wide ? The last game lineup is just as confusing, a game of sentiment if you will. Crazy. The team on paper looks very much one that is lacking discipline in the correct areas and Sterling up top ? England playing a false nine ? For me he realises that we may lose all three games, so might as well drop the big guns (cough underperformers) and deflect blame. With Smalling down the right we are in serious trouble, how he has got on the plane is baffling. England arent good enough basically, neither the players or the tactics
-
Ive never read so much crap in my life, had a few did we ?
-
Ill let you into a secret Most fans are idiots who base opinion on media coverage and common conjecture.

Can see where your coming from as personally I dont think he is international standard however there isnt many more options out there. He has had a good season for us and is overlooked for Lampard which for me is rediculous. Theres no real ball winner or DM in the England set up, Gerrard has had a great season for Liverpool but A. Their set up gives him protection and B. He looks knackered Behind Gerrard who is there ? Barkley and Henderson normally operate further forward, unfortunately Wilshere flatters to decieve and then there is Milner or Lampard. Surely Hodgson should've gambled on Cork or even Huddlestone or Livermore FFS. As per Johnson, he isnt rediculously terrible, he plays ok in tournaments and was steady against Uraguay, but again Woys backups are pish, an injured Jones and Smalling (who is as terrible at RB as he is CB) its a shame that Clyne wasnt even our first choice but if thats the case surely take Flanagan or Stones etc ? Not out of the realms of possibility that Cork and Clyne could have offered more
-
Probably happens all the time, be good to know who it is though, then maybe Dyke can ask what the issues are in an attempt to sort it out. In the whole itll be ignored though, which is rediculous really. Id much rather have had HR at the helm the RH.

I do think a lot of this is true, more glaringly obvious however is for a 'national anthem' it isnt really a portrayal of England (or Britain) and realistically could be about any nation with a monarchy. But it is what it is, not particularly patriotic in my view. Rule britania, land of hope and glory and jarusalem are infinately more rousing IMO. As per the Monarchy, if you really think that we live in a 100% democratic society you are just plain wrong, you have the opportunity to vote for your prefered choice out of a select bunch at which point all the power then resides in parliament and decisions are taken not for the people but more often then not for those in power. The monarchy also brings in a heavy amount of tourism that we would lose should we abandon it. No we dont vote them in, but if we did all sense of intrigue around that particular establishment will vanish. Let them carry on, they barely harm you. Religion and the connection between the state and the church, realistically it probably shouldnt be so, we live in a world of which the views are now accepted that a finite creator is unlikely, I agree, but many dont. And the majority if this country still holds beliefs in god. For that reason I can accept the odd mention of god here and there. Do you never attend a funeral or wedding ? Or are you one who sits at the back and tuts at every mention of anything religious ? Like it or not the democratic system we have is based entirely on appeasing the beliefs and wants of a majority, and in that end means that equality doesnt exactly work in reality as much as many wish it so, its about compramise.

Well, I imagine you writing those letters anyway mr legod. The national anthems not the best but you cant change it to exclude monarchy or religion because its what you think it should be. Im mostly Pro Monarchy, they do more good then bad, not entirely sure what the arguements against are ? Except of course the "I didnt vote for them" which is rediculous anyway. As per religion, personally I dont believe in god, but Im not going to stand and throw my thoughts on the subject down somebodies throat. People are free to believe in what they want and do what they want. I mean, its slightly pretentious believing that you are the man to decide on what is representative of the people, and frankly thank christ.

Do you find yourself writing letters of complaint to the local Co-op when someone accidentally puts frozen brocolli into the mixed Broc/cauli floret section ?
