  1. 5 players born in England by my reckoning, 2 Scottish
  2. He's the only striker the Irish have, and ever will, produce. Will be wheeling his arthritis riddled corpse out in 50 years time. Long's pretty good like
  3. Not starting and may not make the squad due to injury. He's just not good enough these days but at the same time about a third of the squad isn't good enough
  4. We have a decent first choice team but if basically any of our players get injured its going to turn to shit
  5. Don't see the problem if Wilshere was one of your better players in qualifying which he apparently was
  6. Not surprised given the clip of their team. Very much a second string. Given the clip of the ground there'll be some topless lads on horseback making an appearance later on by accident thinking it's the back field. Disco making excuses for Ireland
  7. Shane Long and Vardy are actually pretty similar players except Vardy is a better footballer while Long is probably better in the air
  8. You actually have a tough-ish group for a 24 team Euros
  9. Can play in midfield too
  10. Shane Long was voted as player of the season for the team that came 6th ffs
  11. Aye pretty grim. Nice avatar btw
  12. Not sure what you mean, in that someone else will be picking your player? I'll just use a random number generator and I'm happy not to play personally, so there's no conflict of interest - tbh when I picked Karim Benzema in the World Cup one at work and he was briefly in the lead, I spent most of France's games willing him not to score so I couldn't be accused of fixing it. I'm hardly going to know who's going to win anyway, if I'd been fixing my last one, I certainly wouldn't have picked James Rodriguez. Nah don't think he was accusing you of cheating, he just doesn't want to pay for a random player that he has no choice in
  13. lovely defender to watch when on form
  14. VI will enjoy supporting a team with a similar philosophy to Barcelona
  15. He did http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3610754/Eric-Cantona-sensationally-claims-Didier-Deschamps-omitted-Karim-Benzema-Hatem-Ben-Arfa-France-s-Euro-2016-squad-ethnic-backgrounds.html
  16. People just expect more from Krul than they would of Elliot or Darlow. I don't think either have been better than Krul this season, although Krul's distribution is obviously absolutely horrible
  17. He spelled his name shit as well
  18. No way. Darlow's all-round game, on crosses and coming off his line and sweeping up balls is far, far superior and that was clear in the last few games of the season. There is a lot more to 'keeping than shot stopping, which is where Elliot's game is shockingly bad. I would have said the other way around. I think Darlow has a pretty poor command of the box while being a decent shot stopper He's not great by any means at this but much better than Elliot, in particular in his speed off his line. Elliot cost us quite a few goals by being slow as fuck. Such as? The Everton one is the only glaring error I can remember from him

  20. I think he's better than Darlow at the moment
