What makes you say that? (Not being a bell, just interested in your view) Unlike the Euros squad which - though it obviously had talent - was unbalanced, inexperienced in parts and, on the whole, fairly average... this time there are loads of really good players to choose from; in great form, too. Players who are better and more experienced than they were two years ago, where I actually thought England gave a decent enough account of themselves considering. For example, in that good draw against France, the midfield was Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Ox, Young. You'd think (hope) it won't look anything like that in Manaus; only Gerrard and maybe Ox should remain (he wouldn't in my preferred team). Hodgson is absolutely blessed with options this time, especially in the front six. I think he has the players to set us up any way he wanted to. This might be a bit short-sighted, cos anything can happen between now and the summer (then there's the conditions to consider): but it's on him if we have another poor tournament. The title is going to a team with a genuine foundation of English players, for a start. But then it wouldn't be anything new for the best English players in the Premier League to forget how to kick a football when it comes to England. I don't watch much international football but it'd surely be a pretty massive underachievement for us not to get out of a (admittedly tough) group. But it being tough is a good thing. Can't be fucked dicking around against shite like Algeria and Ukraine for us to coast into a hammering off Germany. The intensity is going to be there right away this time. Can't wait. I just hope the Aussies are as World Cup mad as we are over here. I think maybe the reason the media/a lot of the public have low expectations is that this current crop haven't been nearly as hyped as those before them - The "Golden Generation". That's all I can think of tbh, your post makes me think we can win it

Thought he was going to have a blinder this season, with the way he started. Fuck sake.

height=90http://forcoloredgurls.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/lightbulb-idea.png[/img] Start Shola. He probably gets told about 5 different 'basic instructions' every other minute ffs. DEFEND. THEN MAGIC. PASS. OKAY SHOOT. DRIBBLE. DEFEND HATAM urgh

My God Never had so much vitriol towards a human being in my life.

Be a travesty if this guy is out the door before Pardew man

My guess the likes of Taylor and Ameobi I can imagine Taylor doing it because he's a big creep, but Shola? He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Just seems weird.

Who the fuck are these senior players kicking off about Hatem man, what the actual fuck.

Good ol' honest Pards

fucking died at that.

That's a great goal, fantastic composure.

Fuck our players, man. Out of this lot I'd only be gutted if Krul left, and that's because he feels homegrown and is talented. (Obviously would be even more gutted if Ben Arfa left, but it seems impossible he will stay with the fraud in charge so I'm bracing myself.) Yeah see what you're saying. Oh yeah when Hatem goes it's going to be horrible.

Yeah, the difference being that he thinks he's this intelligent, ascended human, when in reality he's a cheap suit wearing bad skin prick.

Really like Richards, but would be gutted if Debuchy left.

He never said that? We had one effort on target, Tiote from around 30 yards, comfortably gathered. He absolutely did say that. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27005481 Literally just making things up

Only have to look at Man United to see what a difference a manager can make. Baffles me how people give Pardew a free pass like you say.

Oh my. Some of the comments on fb; "I fail to see how you can all jump on his back after a bad run? Surely it's the players that need looking at." "Totally agree. It's the players and our owner that need to take a long hard look at themselves. Yeah Pardew might talk some rubbish after the games but on the whole he has done a decent job with what he has had to work with" Fuck me. Work still to be done with a lot of our fans then.

Poor lad. Don't think I've ever heard somebody sound as thick.

5/6

How many fucking adverts like

Yes. Love a pela shootout.

The fuck does that even mean

Vurn

Colo what in the fuck are you doing.
