Its working on mine, quiet but working. COYR Biggest game of the season so far

Ta me old mucker. Not that I see the point of the player, its all on Radio Solent now anyways. And Why is it always so bloody quiet ??

Why are the WHU commentators not an option ?

And that is all the fault of arguably our most talented player ?? Behave The whole set up that is England needs to be looked at, unfortunately it never will. The England team is more of a money making machine than any other team in international football IMO. Even with bringing in the likes of Capello who I held with such promise has not really done anything to prove to me we are making any strides forward. We play a 442 formation with little to no pace. Ok, against Montenegro it was more of a 42211/4231 or something but we still look so pedestrian, slow and devoid of ideas on the world stage which is so much different to the way some of our stars play at the weekend. Yes, foreign imports do make a big impact but we do have the players to impact the way they do. So what would you suggest ?? We drop all of our better players ?? Players that actually have a modicum of tournament experience ? I mean, what with the younger players they just do not have enough game time, I do agree that needs to be changed however. Lampard and Terry have not been the same players for a long time, Lampard has IMO long been dissinterested in the Three Lions. I would also like to see any player that decides he is above U17's/U19's etc etc should be shunned from the England senior side and more should be put on clubs that try to refuse to send their players. Look at Arsenal and the refusal from Wilshere to play in the u21 tournament due to tiredeness only to play for a full england side and go on a tour of the swiss alps. Pathetic. Who exactly would you play instead of Rooney then ?? What is your England masterplan ?

Club form shows you what potential he has if England play in the right way, unfortunately for many years the england national team have been stuck in its prehistorical past, playing a cardboard and incredibly slow 442 and featuring the older established players I fear is more to do with image rights than any particular ability. Rooney however is often involved in or around our goals, more creating then anything else. No he is not an out and out goalscorer in an england top but he has not done too bad in the role he has played and had he not kicked out we wouldn't even be talking about dropping the lad. FWIW I think a lot of the calls to cull the likes of rooney after his frankly daft idea he had that night against montenegro are more an outcry about how poor the england side look in general. Rooney, AFAIC didn't look all too bad however a midfield bereft of any real idea, flair or pace was shown up for what he did and Rooneys act of petulance, no matter how stupid was probably to do with his frustrations of playing in a team that does not match his desire or ability.

Lol

How can you not take rooney ?? He is our best player, I mean FFS. Take him, between now and then work on a replacement for the group stages of which any half decent england side should happily negotiate and then he is there, on the bench. The fact that he is there would worry any international team. I for one, if England were in the Euro final for instance would rather him in the team then out of it. On form he is a world beater. In the mean time play Young in his place.

England, No skill + No pace = No chance. Parker is a decent enough player, far better and classy then Gareth Barry IMO. He is much more balanced in the middle but still I would rather have Wilshere and Gerrard there come the summer if the truth be known. At least Gerrard gives a f*ck when he pulls on the three lions, he was one of the only players to actually look devastated when we crashed out to germany, that fat pr*ck Lampard walked off of the pitch laughing and joking, and it was then that it dawned on me just how little some of these players cared about representing england. We could have potantially had a very good squad built up for the Euros, as someone else had said, drop the older dead wood and bed in a solid young team that could cut it come the WC. After all, Euros are the WC's lesser cousin. A team such as Hart Smalling/Richards/Walker Cahill/Jones/Jagielka/Dawson Cole/Baines Young/Downing Gerrard/Cleverly/Huddlestone/Wilshere/Parker Walcott/Chambo/Johnson Rooney/Welbeck/Sturridge/Carroll (though I don't rate him at all)/Bent We have the makings of a decent young team there, but I think its more down to the FA then to the manager, playing the likes of brand beckham/Lampard etc is a much bigger money swinger than the younger sides. And as for smaller sides being stronger bla bla bla, Germany, spain and Holland have all qualified only too easily.

Meat from Owtons butchers (they are f*cking brilliant), fruit and veg from the farm shop by the plough pub (can't remember the name of it). Get the majority of all the other crap I need from Bursledon tesco's, Morrisons, Sainsburys or Asda depending on which one I am closest to or driving past as it really makes little to no difference to me. FWIW I find Asda and Tesco's to be far better out of the big 4.

FWIW Lallana's First Touch and Technique is better than probably 90% of NPC players and in all reality probably a vast amount of Prem players.

There is no way he has looked into it more than you Mr MLG

Ridgewell plays best at LB, he has attempted to make CB his home a few times but never really achieved it. He isn't really a player I would want us to break our backs to sign, besides, I though Hoovield looked pretty strong Sat, all be it against a rather lackluster Watford side.

Steam, FFS For what it is worth I always update our players stats to their more realistic attributes anyways.

This unfortunately. Thought he was a good player, was strong, gave his all and had a decent enough eye for a goal. That own goal sealed his doom though, even though it was more Davies bully boy tactics that did it.

You would actually need friends for that though. I could lend you some if you need.

That would be very true if it was not for the fact we signed 4 players, but I suppose that would detract from your 'not a bean' statement just a tad.

I am assuming he had some sort of serious childhood illness if that were the case, TBF I thought he was only about 3-4, and so didn't really realise. What Watford Fans Forum were they from ??

Enjoyed it today, good game, good weather and good people. Good to put a few names to faces aswell. Sorry about the GOTG The9, i couldn't be outdone could I, and is it worth pointing out it was only with 1 good leg ?? Lol We looked better than them all over the place to be fair, and I thought our CB's played very well. The9, it was nice playing upfront with a forward who knows where he is supposed to be and who can use my movement for a change !!. SaintScott, can't believe you let that last goal in.

How much is there to learn about ants ??

That will probably be enough to hide your clear lack of ability

Well said Phill

Whats wrong with Clark ?? He is normally pretty good IMO, and unless you deserve it lets you get on with it.

Yeah got the email, just wondered if that was definately the plan ??

Sorry to hear about your injury Adrian, its a toughie, I mean, due to your injury do you get the cash you have pledged back from saints ?? I am not in the best fitness I could possibly be in but I think I am fit enough to do it in a decent time, cheers for the info, I have managed to get it sorted, I think it was just getting my knee used to actually doing some work again for once, but been running, playing 6 a side, 11 a side and plyometrics so its very used to working now lol !!! I have not actually done a whole lot of long runs but I am fully confident I can achieve it as I have done a couple.

So, who is down the stadium saturday then ?? For 2 0'clock isn't it ??? Has anyone had any confirmation about what is actually going on ?
