That seemed to be his repsonse to everything, shirked it.

Lampard doesnt merit such treatment. After 4 years of utter pish, he should be brushed aside, not made the heart and soul of the side. Gerrard has been absolute shit for England recently aswell though, but he somehow avoids the same criticism Lampard gets. I know what you mean about Gerrard like. He always gives the ball away trying to pass the ball 676 million miles. SIMPLE FUCKING PASS YOU SPACKER. He's Super Stevie G though, immune from criticism.

Yeh. However shit England were, I thought Croatia were superb all over the park. It was a horrible pitch but they still managed to play nice attacking football.

...also Enrique will get better. Very impressed with what I've seen so far tbh. Can't understand the negativity from some. I think he's been poor so far tbh mate, yet to see 'The Bull' instead its just aimless long punts down the line.

He's giving all this about we have to be positive, but i'd bet a fortune he'll play 4-5-1. Hargreaves is fit again and now Lampard has got back in the team he's not going to drop him again is he? Crouch upfront on his tod and it'll be woeful.

Blaming the foreign players is just lazy, theres plenty of good English players in the league we're just incapable of finding a manager to turn them into a good side. If there was some sort of foreign quota we'd see less and less good players in the league imo as they'd all go and play in Spain/Italy instead.

Roeder was fucking shite in his full season, but few could argue he did a good job Feb-May in the season before, Still should have never have been a full-time appointment though.

Absolute legend, hope his health picks up.

Hleb is the X Factor in my fantasy team, absolute class.

Arsenal looking good value again. Birmingham fans are horrible cunts in my experience too. We were constantly spat at from the upper tier at St Andrews last season, mucky twats.

Smith played very deep, did ok.

My fantasy team is having a blinder this weekend.

Just seen the Torres goal yesterday, fucking class.

Your so over the top about Geremi its ridiculous! Michael Owen definitely shouldn't be captain, i've no idea why managers seem to think it is.

Viduka, N'Zogbia and Faye.

The Mike Ashley we're seeing at the minute is so different to the recluse we were told about in the Summer, its bizarre.

Beye looks canny like, good in the air. Not been overly impressed with Enrique so far but its early days, hope it works out.

Bloody hell you love those commas! He's a good player but its much of a muchness with him and Butt imo.

Legend.

I think taking the awful Kevin Scott from us negates that one. Christ yeh, Scott was dreadful.

I still don't rate Milner at all, such a clumsy footballer.

I can definitely see us going with a 5 man midfield after the last couple of performances.

I'm always in the ground about 2.45 normally but on Saturday we were running a bit late from the off, culminating with a massive queue outside the turnstile I didn't get in until 3.15, missed all 3 goals! Never understand going downstairs before half-time though, its stupid.

Do you think David Pleat mispronounces names on purpose? Jesus christ.
