Lampard set to captain England

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'm a Chelsea fan, I'm an England fan. Lampard, my favourite player, as captain of my country? Perfect.

Couldn't really careless about this game.

Lampard's only being made captain out of convienience,he'll still get booed by England's bone headed travelling fans.My affection for the National team has waned in the past 9/10 years anyway.

So near,yet so far!.

Spot on. Guaranteed there will be more people wanting him to fuck up than do well.

Bitter reds of every description.

Even i can remember worse England moments like Euro 88 where we were a complete shambles,and not ONE player got booed,even though you felt like shooting Bobby Robson at the time.

England these days is all about the corperate fan that will spend money at Wembley,to help the FA's bill of god knows how much to re-build the famous stadium.

These meaningless friendlies are also as welcome as a Jew at a pig farm,at such a crucial stage of the season as well.

My thoughts exact!

Suuuuuuuuper, super Frank..

[Ollie 4,400]

Very surprised to see him play, let alone be captain. Proud moment for him, hopefully we don't play as badly as last time we went there for a friendly. I really hope Frank plays well and gets a goal.

Remember this? Reading those comments has got me up for this match.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Rather see him not play but good on him!

Still if we loose be his fault somehow..even if he aint on the pitch be down to him! They'll find a petty excuse

Dont get injured!!!!

I'm really happy about Lampard getting the England captaincy! Much as I believe his curremnt form leaves a lot to be desired, I think this will improve his leadership

Don't really like these internationals, such a risk to our players getting injured.

Read that Rooney would have been the only other possible choice to be captain. At least Capello went for the right one. Well done Frank, just don't get into any nasty tackles.

I doubt you will lose this time. Denmarks national team has for the last year been 80% players who are injuried all the time or do not play for their club. 10% over the hill player. 10% actualy decent player who somehow is playing for his club, he will however soon move to a bigger club and sit on the bench.

By the way a couple of copenhagen players will probably play, sadly not Grønkjær though he retired after south africa world cup.

Lampard, who will win his 84th cap for England against Denmark, says captaining his country will fulfil a boyhood dream. "I'm very proud. I'm a very proud man," he said.

"I've been in the squad quite a long time now and I've waited patiently and it's going to be one of the proudest moments of my career to lead out the lads.

"To actually walk out (is a huge deal). I know it's a cliché but as a kid you do grow up dreaming of that moment.

"I'll try and play with an example in how I play. I'll just try and do my usual job but try and have an influence on my team.''

Yeh Rooney's next but after that erm...Ashley maybe?

Long as he say plays least one half and no injuries..be all good for him and scores a few to shut the haters up..really they should shut up anyway as had the ref not been blind he's kinda helped our World Cup a lot!!

[Lampards Bitch 21]

Oh yay another england game for him to get slagged off in.....................I'm happy for Lamps but we all know how this will turn out

[Ollie 4,400]

It's true and i get nervous when he gets near the ball every time, waiting for the shit. I just hope he scores a couple n has a stormer.

[J.F. 1,484]

Run, Frankie, run!

[kwylino 329]

I hope lampard has a nice game and im glad hes getting the captaincy will be a positive for him with the arm band.Just really do hope he does not get injured in this game.
