Like i've said before, your better off buying a couple of the retro kits then this cheap lazy tat.

How much is one of these insults ?

Not sure about the ring piece collar, looks terrible. Hidious kit. Puma be ashamed, be very ashamed. They've totally missed a trick. Morons.

Fan-tastically s*** more like. Make it as cheap as possible and flog it for a fortune you mean ? The more i look at it the worse it gets.

Looks pish, that collar is pish.

Aye, good point Wullie

Its a bit retro looking. No Cesc, oh my he is a gonner.

Christ Edit : Did your old lady make the gravy extra strong last night?

For the greater good eh. LOL like i said Egoland.

I know you weren't, i as aiming it at the players. They are dicks, plain and simple. If they think they need to be looked after 24/7 then they are exactly the wrong people who should be picked for a squad.

How dare they be treat like a team and not movie stars. Terrible, i feel sorry for them after being stuck in that concentration camp and expected to train and play football for a tournament. Shocking, Capello should be reported to the UN, i feel so sorry fo those players.

Sam Allerdyce.

Are they? Really, are they? I dont think they are.

He can have the backing of the FA but if he aint got the players on side then he is done.

Yep, you can only play for one team.

Wheels without a doubt. Knives for arms, at some point you wheelies will let your guard down and get to cloe to me. Not sure how i would wipe my arse tho.

Nar, ITV is just fucking shit.

Englands official supermarket ? Whats that like??!?!!!?!?! I've seen two supermarkets with that on the England badge... England is not a team its a cash machine.

I've been losing interest in England over the last few years anyway...the hype, the bullshit, the boring friendlies, the same players picked all the time, wembly costing the best part of a billion quid and wasn't needed as we have a whole country full of decent stadiums now, the wembly pitch, The FA, the england regular players being dicks, england supporters at tournaments, the media surrouding England, new england shirts costing a fortune, always being by Umbro cos they are an english company BUT WE HAVE A FUCKING ITALIAN MANAGER, England not being able to pass a ball, long balls, the big man little man up front, Heskey, Lampard, Gerrard in the same team, 3 lions (which is fucking french anyway), the England spirit LOL, pundits, lack of respect for other nations by the media, face painting, fancy dress, post match interviews, adverts like calrsberg England advert, celebrities having their say, James Corden. I could go fucking on.

Newcastle winning the league hands down. Cant believe people would want England to do well over Newcastle especially with all the shit the club has been dredged through and all the crap the media has heaped on us.

Its pretty evident from just this thread alon we can all agree we aren't producing players with "ball control, touch and movement". I think some of the pundits are also saying this along with a few other things. As mentioned earlier, we've just got to let the kids discover football skill themselves, maybe set up game for them on a small scale with rules "one or two touch".

Aye fair comment about Spain and Holland producing some nice tidy players but they often dont do well in a big tournament. I still think we should be produicng more player who are comfy on the ball.

This is a problem in America as well. For one, our biggest youth league is just something to allow kids to have fun and learn sportsmanship. But, with kids serious about getting better, there's not a general training idea, there's no organization. The main thing that's stressed is team work and winning, most of our practices are spent working on tactics and dead ball situations. We might spend twenty minutes a day, if that at the older levels, working on foot skills, touch, trapping, etc. There's should be a set training philosophy that the country stresses, and it should mainly focus on working on foot skills and technical ability for kids under 13/14, with a little work on teamwork. And that point, once kids have developed enough you can start focusing on everything else. It should be number 1 in training.

yeah, sucks to be them. Would be spending that much money on players and still not getting into the champions league and at some point they are going to have to run the club with what the club earns.

Man city paying way way over the odds for players, and they haven't even broke into the champs league
