I'd take 'em all.

I gotcha. You could take a player's performance from a particular match! Like: Owen (v Argentina 98) or Beckham (v Greece 2001?) or Hargreaves (v Portugal 2006).

He'd lost it by then though hadn't he and played his last gamein 91. 86 always seemed to be his peak. So, what you saying? You can choose any player who's played for England since you've been born but they would only play at the level they were at when you were alive? Weird.

Bryan Robson played under Graham Taylor so I'm sure he'll played after Italia 90.

Would Shearer get in before Linker?

Have fun. Don't start a fight.

Howay. The likes of Mick have a huge advantage here.

Mackems clearly taking the piss, tbh.

Great goal by Blackpool.

This season? And for England?

On what basis? He's our best midfielder after Lamps and Gerrard and a very effective player in a deeper role When has he demonstrated that?

Fair enough. Can't see it myself. Edit: Not saying Drogba's selfish, just that Rooney would get a similar number of assists in that side.

So it wouldn't suggest that the Chelsea players are simply better goalscorers? You're suggesting that if you were to swap Rooney and Drogba the stats for the Chelsea players would markedly drop?

On what basis?

[pre] Drogba 33 Lampard 26 Malouda 15 Anelka 13 Rooney 34 Berbatov 12 Owen 9 Scholes 7 [/pre]

Wonder if we'll give him the cups next season?

Would be surprised to see Parker not going to the World Cup tbh. I've always rated him very highly as a player - but still I think his current form should be enough to get him a place in the squad.

So why does he get more goals and assists? Because Berba can't hit a barn door with a banjo. The same Berba who has 3 more goals than Anelka despite startting far fewer games? Try again. Drogba has more goals and assists because he's a better player. Drogba has more assists cos' he plays with Lampard, etc. ffs.

Someone's going to get their jaw broken. Or their heart :'(

Surely an intra-squad liaison could prove problematic? It'll be like one of those office romances that ends in bitterness and squabbling.

Don't think we need to change our home style too much. It's our away performances in which we'll struggle. A counter-attacking style would suit us if we can inject some pace into the side.

Have a brilliant time, lads.

Whitley doesn't have the Pepsi Max or donkeys, the 2 most vital aspects of stag do shithole. True, but you can ride the Barcardi Breezer STD Surprise.

I note how sensible everyone's being in here. I wonder if we'll all remain in that mindset come the first few weeks of the season?

Blackpool for the same reasons as everyone else. It really is a shithole, though. Anyone wanting to sample the Blackpool nightlife should get themselves down Whitley tonight and multiply that carnage by 10.
