This is a pointless contract extension. I've always said Sam Walker would make an idea backup while still playing reserve football when he doesn't need to be feature. We've got an abundance of goal keeping talent in our ranks. Hilario is not one of them..

I guess Malouda & Anelka are next..

So much for a new goal keeper. Fuck sake..

typical Gourlay to boast the Megastore :eyebrows:

Happy Birthday!

Exactly what everyone said. He's a great right-back, but he's a Spurs player & they won't sell to us. Especially after he impressed at Villa this season. He's better than f*cking Hutton, they should make him their next no. 2. Still think Billy Clifford could be just as good. Even Todd Kane, who's got a great right-foot on him!

Kasey Keller, now there's a name I haven't heard in a while What a strike though! Quality goal.

I think Killamanjaro made this point before. Our players struggled due to lack of rotation. The benefit of having Sturridge & Torres now is Drogba is given the rest he deserves. Remember the guy had to play through malaria because of the lack of available substitutes. Now we have a proper chance to rest these players. Danny won't suffer from fatigue since he's suspended for 3 games anyway. As is the case with all our u21's representing us right now. So I definitely agree with this thread. It makes the most logical sense. I'd like to share an article Kostas showed me once about inefficient training methods in the UK which are hindering players' ability to play at least 60 games a season.. Inefficient training methods

Ray Wilkins: I've seen him rip defenders apart

Thanks everyone for your kind words.. It's been 3 days now. Still can't get my head around it or even understand why/how! I saw him 4 days ago. None of this makes sense, but it is what it is..

Thank you mate. At the moment I'm very.. Confused. I can't wrap my head around it, even typing it I don't believe it.

Shocked, angry & upset. Yesterday one of my friends, committed suicide. No-one knows why or what caused it, he didn't have any exam pressure and was one of those types who always smiled and you could share a joke with. No-one disliked him or had any bad word to say about him because the type of person that he was didn't warrant it. We all miss him so much. I just saw him on Thursday, we played football. On Friday he did it. His family is shattered and I would not wish what they're going through on anyone. My big regret is not talking to the guy enough. A big hearted person who will truly be missed. The world has lost a humble, honest, intelligent and positive person. He was only 18 and it's such a shame his life's gone. Through our memories, he lives in spirit. I love you brother.

Definitely. Our play was too 1-dimensional. The goal keeper, Fielding, doesn't like the ball at his feet at all, kept trying to get rid of it as quick as possible. There was no cohesian in the centre of midfield. Playing Mancinenne over Rodwell was risky, but a bad decision. Rodwell & Sinclair should've started for Mancinne & Rose

Fair result to be honest. Their goal was handball ours was offside.

GREAT GOAL!! Kyle Walker, what a run son! Great finish by Welbeck too! COME ON ENGLAND!

Really impressed me today. Gets forward well & is good defensively too! Slight criticisms of his final decision, often looses the ball in the final third. But he's young, easy to fix.

Phil Jones has to take responsibility for that goal unfortunately. Sloppy one to concede, but we've got enough in this team to fight back!

Always with the ketchup jokes Zan

You can't say that & then criticise Barcelona then (if you do).

SkySports saying it's 4-4-2 with Rose dropping to left-midfield. I agree with Peter Taylor though, it has to be 4-3-3!

De Gea's recovering from a fractured finger, we should test his resolve early.

England: Fielding Walker - Jones - Smalling - Bertrand Mancienne © Henderson - Cleverly Rose - Sturridge - Welbeck Spain: De Gea Montoya - Botía - Domínguez- Dídac Vilà Jeffren - Javi Martínez - Thiago - Mata Ander - Adrián

Czech Republic win! Survived a late resurgence from Ukraine. Time for England to start their campaign now
