Barry's got the captain's armband on

Why is Monkey Heed on my screen?

Guess it's a sign that my watching could potentially affect England's progress in the Euros. I shall stop watching then

Jordan Henderson on that bench, urgh. Why, Roy, why?

Well that's good enough for me Got to say, this dark blue kit is quite smart, might just purchase one in the near future.

Was having my tea so only just turned the game on, how's it going? Oh, just seen the goal from Young - good finish tbh.

Urgh, what the f*** is that? Although I suppose every player in the squad needs some sort of game time/preparation. I don't expect this team to be the one we'll line up with in a couple of weeks. So in that case, experimentation ftw...

Sooo, Sheffield United are staying in League 1... Hahahaha.

Chiles was actually decent on MOTD2 too. That move to ITV was an ill-advised one really (remember, ITV ruined Des Lynam too).

Looks like I'm missing out on an "epic" penalty shootout.

Will Ferrell is going to surprise us all and get a hat trick tomorrow.

Did I read that right? Carrick is a world class player? Howay man He's a decent player and I would have taken him to the Euros instead of Barry but Carrick isn't that brilliant like.

Roy's confirmed that Robert Green and Andy Carroll will be starting tomorrow. Hmmm, that should go well...

If that's close to the team that lines up against England then Roy can forget about the win. The French squad really pisses over England's Will more than likely put a bet on France to win the Euros tbh... Especially seeing as we've called up Martin Kelly at Right Back and Jack Butland as Goalkeeping cover and seemingly are unaware of the existence of Micah Richards??? Yep, it is quite baffling how Richards is still being overlooked. f***'s sake. Canny, will most likely go down to the bookies tomorrow and put a fiver/tenner on France winning the Euros...

Could see how Forster does in pre-season I guess (despite last year's being, quite frankly, a bit of a forgetful time for him) before we make a proper decision about his future here. Otherwise, best of luck to him for the future. Is it just me or will Forster be another one of those keepers who just have "ordinary" careers?

Quite looking forward to tomorrow's game. Will be interesting/intriguing to see how Roy lines them up - as long as we've worked on how to keep the ball effectively, I shall be content.

Hang on, there's a chance he could be going for good this summer? My goodness, hold me.

An alternative to penalty shootouts? A game on FIFA12 tbh.

It isnt but not bad isnt good enough for Pardew and with good reason some of the best sides in world football are just as good without the ball as they are without it at the top level its a must.... If Hoilett where to come here he would have to improve his defensive side just like Ben Arfa did. Also yes if everyone stayed and we signed Mbiwa and Debuchy id be delighted. Hoillett also needs to cut out his diving - so fucking annoying.

If that's close to the team that lines up against England then Roy can forget about the win. The French squad really pisses over England's Will more than likely put a bet on France to win the Euros tbh...

Can definitely see the Scousers' high expectations destroying Martinez. But, having said that, think Martinez will be better equipped to manage Liverpool than Roy - that is, he'll last longer than Hodgson.

I stand by this post. Demba's going nowhere and my reasoning is above. Really don't understand why some people would be content with him leaving. From the posts about him being our best striker since Shearer to what's being said now man! Fickleness ftw eh? Fucking hell.

Don't forget Monkey Heed's coaching influence for the England side...

Updated Soccer Aid 2012 teams:

Chris Kirkland's off to Sheffield Wednesday. Got to say, it's a pity how his career has panned out. Decent keeper on his day.
