England Fans' Thread

It's a reasonable point. 

Those are guys whose local heroes are probably Englishmen, whereas most Premier League sides the heroes are the foreign contingent so the attachment to England as a whole is/could be reduced.

I'm in Dunedin on business tomorrow night. Anybody know if there is a pub showing the game?

Try the Otago thread in regional football BB.

Hang f*cking on a minute

I thought Terry and his weird press conference was a fr*ggin odd one, but I find out today that he did it off his own back and it was not backed buy the FA.

Now admittedly I never watched it, and the bits I read seemed very crap, but I cannot believe you would allow one of these clowns, (players), his own press conference that was not officially sanctioned.


Are they fr*ggin FA mad?

He should be fr*ggin sent home as well as Anelka.

We are in enough of a sh*tpit not to have the same bullsh*t going on as the French. We bought in the "Iron Duke' Capello to deal with these w*nkers in the squad not let them go and talk to the bloody press blaming others because they are rubbish.

Do these people have any understanding of their role in the universe? In the grand scheme of things? I know Terry has always been a th*ck tw*t but this is unreal.

I just watched the whole conference on the BBC site:

what are England missing..........a Leader on the pitch...Capello must wishing he never dropped the Captian who lead them so well to get them to the finals. Love or hate him, on the pitch there is no better leader than John Terry.

The loyal leader that slagged everyone off to the media ?

Not in the complete press conference as aired by the BBC he didn't. No-one was slagged off, beyond him saying that the team didn't play well. Was there another incident you meant?

I'll change the quote:

The loyal leader that is alleged to have slagged everyone off to the media ?

slagging , shagging

the man knows no bounds

Thought this is quite well done.

Love it.

cant wait till the game tonight, god they better come out playing positivly from the get go

Are they going to beat Slovenia? Honest thoughts.

yes, albeit not too convincingly. 2-1, if joe cole starts im picking him to score

Yeah I am certainly not 100% confident but I think they will do it.

Haha very good

There was a 'caistor' st george's cross for the first game. That's where I grew up with a population of a couple thousand in rural Lincolnshire.

yea id like to see cole, defoe and crouch all used at some point

i think England will win, but ...

like many on here - and as i'd said earlier - i'd favour Cole and Defoe getting a decent run

if cole played though might make it look like because what terry done....
but cole needs to play i think

[QUOTE=Hard News]The loyal leader that slagged everyone off to the media ? [/QUOTE

Joe Cole needs to start........ please

England's team for todays game:


Ryan's Rovers2010-06-23 23:18:50

well that was a better display all round. still alot of work to be done if we are hoping to go further

thought milner was really good tonight, as was all the defence, bar johnson on a few occasions. lamps, barry and gerrard were all guilty of giving the ball away cheaply a few times but the whole team seemed better at retaining possession and making something of it

thought rooney coming off was the wrong choice, didnt look to great after that. still think rooney is dropping a bit to deep

eyes to group D now to see who we get

Put Joe Cole in central midfield as the attacking option, play Gerrard deeper and drop Lampard. Stick Dawson in for Upson (who was actually OK today) and then you've got a team capable of beating Germany. In my opinion. TheJam2010-06-24 08:45:12

Germany then Argentina. Won't troll. All i'll say is good luck, you'll need plenty of it to beat those two.

germany schmerany. we can take them easy.

argentina will be a piece of piss

Perhaps you should do a few tribal dances and whip up a few voodoo dolls just to be safe mate 

We'll kick and rush over Deutchland...not for the first time.

5-1??

Oezil 8'
Muller 24'
Klose 45'
Podolski 66'
Schweinsteiger 81'
Lampard 89'

hhhmm

not sure what to think about that performance, certainly an improvement

will need to continue an upward trend (or get a huge dollop of luck)to progress past the trad WC enemy, to the other trad WC enemy

certainly has the makings of a good story if it comes to pass

I agree with you about Cole. I think Lampard before Barry. We need S. Wright-P for a bit of pace. Milner seems a biy sluggish.
