I think Joe Allen has been quality tbh.

Pretty much, the keeper would have initially thought it was a standard curler to the top right (his top left), hence the step across.

Gabby - "What have you learnt?" Henderson - "Well I can't now go telling you my secrets can I?" In a pre-taped interview, wow. I instantly thought of the infamous Taylor/Gutierrez post-match tunnel interview

Robbie Savage badly needs a piss.

I recall quite a lengthy article about how Graham Carr spent weeks making sure players like Demba Ba were the 'right fit' for the club being bidding. Maybe they just stopped caring.

or...

I kept replaying it using the strike as a base drum and the hit against the chain net as the hi hat. 2 minutes of my life perfecting the beat

Bottom right is Wilshere in 40 years.

He's definitely offski IMO. Haven't heard a peep out of him since Rafa joined. If he had any future at the club, he would have been forced or pushed by the manager to communicate with the fans somehow. As good as gone IMO. There's also something up with that 'injury' he's got that's offically kept him out of the team. I think it's more likely he's been stopped for playing for some reason, perhaps because Rafa knew his heart wasn't in it and his head was in San Lorenzo, or maybe he's refused to play. I remember when he first came Mick Lowe's asked if when out injured he was giving the manager his input and advise on the team in general and he said Errm no indicating a shift taking advise from a bad apple as far as Ian concerned he should be gone and won't be missed Someone wanna try to decipher this? Tbf it's quite harsh to implicate Ian W in this.

Should still be our starting central striker.

Can spot you Rinaldo...

Vardys numbers are better at just about everything. There is a bias against the lad for some reason. Kane's actually been quite quiet isolated upfront recently for us. Bar the offside goal, i cant think of many chances we've created for him? What numbers? You can't just translate what you did your your club side in the Premier League onto the international stage. England cannot and will not play like Leicester, which naturally limits Vardy's most dangerous attribute. It's mindless to just sit there shouting at the TV about why Vardy isn't playing like he does for Leicester. Further to that, I simply think Kane is a much better all round player. Honestly, if you're going to spout some random crap about not performing on the international stage, at least back it up with figures. These are since October when Vardy was a regular in the squad. October 2015 England 2-0 Estonia Kane 90 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 7 minutes, 0 goals October 2015 Lithuania 0-3 England Kane 59 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 90 minutes, 0 goals November 2015 Spain 2-0 England Kane 90 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 0 minutes, 0 goals November 2015 England 2-0 France Kane 80 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 0 minutes, 0 goals March 2016 Germany 2-3 England Kane 90 minutes, 1 goal Vardy 19 minutes, 1 goal March 2016 England 1-2 Netherlands Kane 20 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 90 minutes, 1 goal May 2016 England 2-1 Turkey Kane 90 minutes, 1 goal Vardy 90 minutes, 1 goal May 2016 England 2-1 Australia Kane 0 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 0 minutes, 0 goals June 2016 England 1-0 Portugal Kane 78 minutes, 0 goals Vardy 66 minutes, 0 goals Kane Total Minutes = 597 Kane Total Goals = 2 Kane Minutes per Goals = 298.5 Vardy Total Minutes = 362 Vardy Total Goals = 3 Vardy Minutes per Goal = 120.7

Fuck sake I can't even type a post out in anger

He got offered a contract though FML

Players should only play their club position(s) for their country, none of this shoe horning shite with pushing players out left which we seem to have done for 20 years now. If our best proper Left Winger plys his trade for Burton Fucking Albion, then he should be starting for England as a Left Winger if the formation/system demands it. If we've only got space for One striker up front, figure out who that is and play him. Don't try to fit 3 strikers into a formation that only needs one. Does my absolute nut in. For what it's worth, I'd have Vardy up top alone with Kane AND Rooney on the bench based on current form. And that's with a view to Rooney being the backup for Ali who'd be playing just behind Vardy, a la Germany away recently.

Nailed on contract renewal if McClaren was here, Benitez showing his pedigree already.

I really don't get the love-in for Ameobi from some, he was briefly good when he first came into the team, and then under Glenn Roeder. Otherwise he's been absolutely useless, and I'm convinced he has been picked and kept on historically just because he's local - not his fault mind. Sentiments aside there is no way this fraud of a footballer should have been employed by Newcastle United for 14 years ffs.

Sole contractor?

His parents are Muslims, I don't think he regards himself as Muslim That long post from Alto is full of contradictions, on the one hand says being Arab has nothing to do with it BUT then saying Ben Arfa being Arab has contributed to it because he does not get the leeway that Griezmann got In Islam you are born into it if your parents are Islamic.

Seems like everyone's getting Austria now

Hard to argue with any of those tbh.

In

If you want a team you can have one Yes please...and a decent one compared to the All Whites (seriously is it that hard to call the New Zealand)...so that's anyone Decent? What you sayin!
