The England Thread

[Ollie 4,400]

Trully stunned when i heard Downing Syndrome get the nod ahead of Lennon and Johnson. He's the worst winger to ever grace the English game and no Micah Richards? This guy is simply no better than Steve McClaren. We're gonna get arse raped at these Euro's, especially by that French team.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Well, we wanted changes and we've got them. You're all mad if you think we had even half a chance anyway

[Amblève. 4,995]

I really can't why Hodgson didn't nominate Richards? He has been the best English defender this season and he still isn't included in the squad?

And Downing?!

This has gone too far. The system is broken...

[Laylabelle 9,296]

At least this time we are actually expected to be crap.Usually theres the 'omg England are amazing and can win this' bollocks then dissapointment.This time just be expected

I thought the way he (un)managed liverpool was a strong hint to the FA not to take him. They took a mid-club manager, shows exactly what they think about the national team.

[zolayes 14,489]

does ANYONE really give a fuck?

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Only thing care about really that if we do go out it isnt due to a mistake or something by one of our players seeing the way the press and co jump all over them on anything minor

The English F.A have confirmed that Duran Duran are to release Englands Euro 2012 song. "His Name Is Rio And He Watches From The Stands."

[Laylabelle 9,296]

This is just gana be funny for the wrong reasons..least Rooney for 2 games cant get sent off! No doubt he'll come back and get stright into a punch up.

I think this obsession with having a manager the same nationality as his team is rubbish. It may hold true for countries that actually produce good managers like Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, etc. but it won't work when you're rubbish like Australia or England or... Estonia (sorry )

Our best manager by far was Guus Hiddink, we produce absolute dog shit in terms of managers like Graham Arnold, its the same thing as England only the players are worse. The only decent English manager I can think of at this moment would be Pardew (maybe Redknapp as well), and he's unavailable so why not appoint a foreigner?

[Laylabelle 9,296]

It just seemed a case of relying on Harry to take it...him not and them thinking 'fuck lets just pick whoever'

[YuriZhirkov 106]

1-0 West Ham.....

[LDN Blue 7,903]

What the hell is Roy Hodgson playing at?! He's called up Martin Kelly to the England squad, OVERLOOKING RICHARDS AGAIN.

serious?

[Billy. 2,739]

roy needs to get over Liverpool

[LDN Blue 7,903]

serious?

Yep, total truth. The common consensus amongst people seem to think it's only a one-off, but Richards could've used it to show Woy why he needs to go!! I give up.
