Hope we actually play some good sides in the pre world cup friendly matches, instead of bloody teams like Jamaica, need to arrange a friendly with a south american side to get use to their style of play, we have had eastern european overload recently

the truth
15-10-2013, 09:01 PM
fair play well done to England and hodgson
I don't think they have a snowballs chance in hell at the world cup, simply because they lack the technically gifted players who can beat men and keep possession
but I think theyre undefeated in qualifying which is quality achievement. I hope they win the world cup but they have no chance sadly.
as for the celtic nations, I presume none qualified again>?

No not Argentina, that would just ruin the moment if we end up facing them in the world cup.. Mexico will do actually because they won't make it

Hope the Ukrainians can beat France and qualify as well though

Ravel like I said MANY TIMES is England's only world class talent. If Pogba is now worth a reported 35 mil Ravel is worth 50 as he was the man in our Youth team

I would be annoyed if I Was him, but you are up 5-0. Get on with life. No need to react how he did when he's being told to chill out. He spent a good few mins crying to Berahinho. It's frustrating seeing someone who has the world in his hands having such a poor attitude really. He would be at United dominating like he wants to be if he sorted out when he should of.

Fergie ****ed up with Ravel. Don't give a **** about his attitude babied Wayne for years now likewise with his Goat player Keane who was a lot harder to handle then Ravel

Considering his age was a joke WE SOLD him rather then loaned him

Exactly lol. Their FIVE nil up..
It's not like its was 5-5 or something. If it was 5-5 then the penalty should be given to your regular peno taker.. But their bloody five nil up... Jack butland could of taken the penalty if he wanted to at that point.

I love ravel, probably cause i can relate to him.
Hopefully man utd buy that 19 million pound release clause on his contract.

He's more ****ed Adnan has been great tbf. Will have to wait longer to get a chance at United.

Zaha is better than Sterling and will show it when he starts playing and eventually better than Towsnend tbh. Walcott is the best of the lot, but I would still play Towsnend at the moment. Offers something else.

I didn't realise till recently that he was a youth player at Millwall for a bit and then got released but it's still incredible and he's a really nice guy to boot

I went to a fair few England schoolboy games years ago..when I was like 8..wish I had kept the programmes to see who was still playing

Also went to a youth cup final between Villa and Everton at Villa Park and Wayne Rooney played, a year before his breakthrough at Everton I think..he was amazing Lol

Yeah true, he's better off going out on loan at this moment in time and i'd probably play Townsend ahead of Walcott too, the main reason why we played so well was down to him.

Nolan, who has represented England at under-21 level, believes that Sam Allardyce's side are often ignored by the national team, regardless of how well they are performing.

"There's eight months to go to the World Cup and West Ham have probably got the biggest, strongest English set of players in the country. I don't think there's anyone like us," he told the Sun.

"It feels like the England manager doesn't seem to notice us. Hodgson was at our game at Spurs but that was because everyone had been talking about Jermain Defoe.

"But you can't tell me he went there and Ravel Morrison or Stewart Downing, James Tomkins and Mark Noble at least didn't catch the eye. He must be thinking there's at least four lads there he could call up.

"It's very frustrating. We finished 10th last year and the boss has strengthened the squad in the summer. If those lads were from other European countries, they would have caps."

Clyne, Lallana and Rodriquez have all been great this season, Clyne is pretty unlucky to miss out and he's having a better season than Walker. Bit of a piss take calling up 3 left backs though if Roy is only planning on playing 1 of them each game

With the appointment of O'Neal and Roy in particular should Ireland be automatically promoted to top 10 in the rankings?????

The young talent coming through Ireland at the moment is scarily good (England will no doubt try to poach some of the young talent which embarrassed them at the home of football like every other sport) but now coupled with Roy and Martin's guidance I can only think of Spain and Brazil being favs against Ireland in a competitive match
