Emile back in England squad

[Sus]

Liverpool bought Heskey because Owen wanted him apparently

where did you hear that?

[Craig_H]

Shows what a bad state England are in.......

Spot on.

He's useless.

5 goals in 43 caps

It's not as black and white as that, and he's certainly not 'useless'.

Voronin's got 5 goals in 44 caps.

Heskey's performances at the back-end of last season, to keep Wigan up, and at the start of this have been fantastic, powerhouse displays. The sort we all know he's capable of but in the past produced so rarely.

Probably what gets to a lot of people about Heskey is that for three quarters of a season he usually can't be ar*ed. Bags of power, and some flashes of brilliance but most the time he just used to sulk around the pitch or fall over at the merest of touches.

Can't really compare Voronin and Heskey. From what I've seen of Voronin he puts in maximum effort on the pitch. The same is not true of Heskey on a lot of occasions

I wasn't comparing them at all - I was just using Voronin's record to demonstrate a ****e international scoring record does not necessarily equate to a rubbish striker.

Heskey's been done to death - we all know what he could've been and why he failed to make the most of his massive potential. But we also know how good he can be, and lately he's been that 'raging bull' striker he always should've been, hence the call-up.

Mclaren needs to get Collymore out of retirement. He was class!

[Shaggy]

The thickest and most arrogant man I've ever met has also been called into the squad - Joleon Lescott.

What did he do to you??

Good player though. Should probably have been given a chance before now given he can cover fullback aswell as centreback.

Nowt. I've said this before - he went out with a girl I worked with. She used to show me his texts - embarrassing wouldn't do it justice. There was a big night out and he came with his homies and hangers-on. ****. He encouraged a load of the girls from work into his ridiculous 4x4. One of 'em got a bit of a fag burn on his interior and the tight-fisted ******* billed her for it.

If I remember rightly Dave Jones was his manager at the time and Lescott gave him a right runaround - lying about his whereabouts, injured all the time and in no rush to get fit.

In fairness to him, his displays this term (and last) have been outstanding so maybe he's got his act together.

Was the girl you worked with a munter?

No. Bit of a head turner and an arse from heaven.

[Chrono]

id put in a cheeky bid for him

I can only hope that is a sick joke.

Heskey is a donkey, great player who will never make it beyond playing for an average side due to being an utter pansie.

If you are blessed with the talent, frame and ability to be one of the best players of your generation but are too scared to achieve it then you only have yourself to blame.

I agree that it shows what a state England are in. Still, appreciate what little he did for us.

Shaggy I honestly think you are being kind to Heskey.He did'nt have that much potential at all.He was just another over rated player who got a break and joined a top club.Had one decent season and flopped.
He was a confidence player.

What the **** was she doing we that ugly ****?
