England v France

[Drago]

That's one over-rated goalkeeper. He looks a brilliant shot stopper but every time I see him play he drops something easy.

Andy Townsend raving over M'Vila...we're ****ed if Woy's watching ITV

Gerrard ****ing injured

**** off England i hate this ****.

[danperkins]

Un****ing Believable this is!!

[SimonNo7]

Gerrard, if he hadn't injured himself would of played the full 90 probably, how long did Ferdiscum play for?

Good finish by Crouch.

[Gaz]

What the **** is Stevie doing jumping in for tackles like that in a ****ing friendly

Crouchy on the field for less than 60 seconds and scores

[danperkins]

Isn't that Gerrard and Torres now injured and Kuyt's ankle flared back up to? We are ****ed!!!

Shame he didn't do it for his club* against Wigan and Stoke, two more important games







*I do appreciate the number of times he has got his and our club out of the brown sticky stuff but...

International football is complete ****e.

Especially friendlies.

We are royally ****ed on Saturday if Stevie isn't fit.

[Drago]

If Kuyt, Torres & Gerrard miss the west ham game then west ham will have a better side out imo. Especially since Lucas & Skrtel look to be out as well.

International football is complete ****e.

Especially when England pick Jay Boothroyd.

We are royally ****ed on Saturday if Stevie isn't fit.

Actually friendly Internationals are only ****e because managers don't pick their teams as if they are building a team for the next major competition, they just seem to see how many players they can play in one game (I know they have changed the rules slightly).

The other reason they are **** is that the football associations, well the English unsurprisingly, let club managers get away with **** pulling players out of squads and then playing them a couple of days later or in the biggest farce ever pulling a player out of a sqaud and then playing said player in a game before the international (step forward get away with anything you want Alex Fergiescum).

[SimonNo7]

England 1 France 2

A bit like watching Liverpool. Only, sort of, started playing when they were out of it!!!

What sort of injury for stevie ?

[Craig_H]

Desailly made a good point there. (No, really).

He said how france accepted after the WC, that it was time for a new generation, new players, they got a new manager and started again.

England on the other hand, still have the same manager, same players who failed (other than when they are replaced by haplessly inadequate 'newbies') and playing the same way.

The England mantra:

If it's broke, dont fix it
