Damn right.

I'm just saying what I see, man. I love Colo but I'm not gonna pretend I see a top defender there anymore because I don't. I see a very fine footballer who's become a bit of an easy mark for strikers because of his waning physicality and sharpness.

It helps when you have Baines, Jagiekla, Cahill and Carrick starting and not the trinity of utter cunts, Cole, Terry and Ferdinand. Cole walks back into this side, like.

I don't think they've got the bollocks. Think they'll go out at this stage like they should have in 2009.

How did Ireland do? Hehehehehehe Irlande, keine Punkte.

I wish we could just send San Marino to the WC in place of Belgium.

England through and France probably going out. Great stuff.

You wanted Poland to win an hour ago, man. Give over.

Brilliant. Well done.

Eh? Sky reported that Lampard was injured.

I like Welbeck, I really do, just prefer Theo.

Welbeck will drop to the bench eventually. In favour of Walcott? Not a chance, and rightly so. He brings something completely different to the team than Walcott. So much more, too. A consistent goal threat for one (tonight aside). Walcott's twice the player, man. When you've got Rooney and Sturridge in the side you need your wide players to be good at playing wide, not scoring 1 goal in 4. As opposed to 5 in 36? Did you just read what I said?

Bashing I actually think Welbeck is very underrated on this forum. Also Smalling is playing out of position so his performance today should be taken with a pinch of salt. I like Welbeck, I find him a good player, but I'm still of the thought if England or any side is every going to win a World Cup they can't have a player like him starting up left. And Smalling for me is as average as you get. And I'm not saying Welbeck (or most of them, on paper) are good enough players to win a World Cup. But he's a good player and vital to this England side. I'd say he's vital to the squad, because when England play teams that are much better than them like Spain/Germany etc, they'll need Welbeck to do the dog's body work that he is so effective at - but he should not be a regular starter IMO. 100%.

Welbeck will drop to the bench eventually.

Same to you and Jo Exactly.

He was brilliant 4 nights ago you useless tart.

Is Hodgson ill?

Yorkie's such a daft little bugger.

Novak spat at Coloccini who then wobbled him with a hook to the head. Needed stitches.

Due to injury, mind.

Long ball stats last season...? Never mentioned last season.
