Really ? Fonte is excellent but Toby is no1 followed by killer

Best CB Ive seen in a saints shirt, but he isnt world class yet

Ive just been to the gym.. For similar reasons

World class is a touch ott, he isnt even a belgium class CB

For christ sake SOG this is a serious subject and a serious forum........

Ive never been told that they dont wamt my tea, ive been told I brew it a bit too long, and sometimes not long enough. Or maybe I spend too much time preparing the tea, but in general my tea goes down well I think. It gets a bit messier when you're making tea for more than one person, because you've got to figure out what everyone wants, but I just give them what I think they might like. Its even worse when someone videos you making the tea.. V embarrassing

I know, I went bat**** and refused to reply to any emails. Unfortunately that just resulted in phone calls instead As for the eclipse it what pretty meh

I actually chuckled Legend

No it isnt, but our justice system happens to be the best in the world, is it infallible ? No, but considering your alternative seems to be to punish innocents to try and get a couple more of the guilty verdicts Id rather stick with what we have

Quite

Just dont mention paris......

The people that mattered didnt. Everything else is just opinion.

Yeah, Im sure Ill be really glad I was able to clear my name after potentially ruining all of my relationships from friends, to work, to family after my name was leaked in order to potentially raise further 'victims' that may, or may not have been assaulted despite the fact that I am innocent. This isnt a ****ing omelette. In making an omelette it is necessary to break a few eggs, are you saying you are happy with the collateral of ruined lives despite the possibility of still having no convictions ? Or on another note, how many boxes of eggs do you want to throw at the wall in order to make said omelette ?

Its similar to Wilshere refusing the U21 tournament and then going off to play in switzerland for Arsenal, soon after he was called up to the full squad. Its madness, if the FA had any backbone they'd inform him that it may be career limiting, atleast at international level

An international team needs to be bred at youth level, which is a tactic basically every other succesfull nation employs. The germans are probably world leaders in coaching and international development right now. They use the same tactics and consistant line ups throughout all youth levels, also defining an importance in youth tournaments (similar to how our academy runs, same tactics throughout etc) This again helps the players to gel, and get used to tactics, this not only makes full call ups easier but also enables you to pick individuals previously involved in youth teams. The new england DNA crap we heard about a few months ago effectively means we are looking at this model, just dont expect fireworks for a few years. FWIW, if we cant win anything with the likes of Beckham, Gerrard, Scholes, Cambell, Cole, Neville etc etc then we wont win anything with the current lot of which only Rooney even resembles top level talent

Agree with this Benji, lets make sure Pellè goes out with a fire under his ass. If I was koeman Id be pointing out why he was dropped and to prove himself.

All of this is all well and good for the armchair fan adrian but if you talk to anyone with a coaching background I am sure they will tell you its all wishy washy bull****. As good as Shawcross has been on the past it is true, he had a chance and failed, now that isnt the worst part, players have poor games, he was likely nervous so it is ultimately forgiveable. The issue is that he is a singular player from a team that plays vastly different tactics than those employed by Hodgeson. This in short means that he doesnt play regularly with any other player, nor will he be comfortable with the tactics. As Ive said before, international windows are short, to enable players to act on impulse you need to coach intensively for a long period of time. You do not have that luxury in the international game, this however can be circumvented bycalling up 'groups' of players, its even more helpful to keep consistancy, and another if they play against top level opposition. Hence why you tend to get consistant picks from clubs that have groups of high level players. In general that consists of top 6 teams but we broke into that mould by developing a group of players (like I said would happen, the odd player doesnt get called up but a group) Now, this shouldnt be too difficult a philosophy to understand which is why its frustrating someone has to mention it on every England thread.

People doing what they want to isnt the same as being berated by morons asking them to do what the morons want soggy

True, your a clever chap, Im sure you knew what I meant

How is that at all relevant. He was found not guilty, so regardless of anything he is innocent

Agreed

Something genuinely needs to be done about the genuine rape claims that go unpunished, I just do not know how to do that, being able to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt must be incredibly tough and I feel for the jury in such cases. Let alone the victims within which I would imagine a non-guilty verdict is just as crushing as the original offence. I dont however condone releasing the names of offenders who have not been found guilty, unfortunately the truth is that innocent people will still find their lives torn apart by the accusations, and I dont think as a society we can do that to innocent people.

Neither from you also Its a matter of interpretation

Im pretty sure thats not what he said
