Three questions that you might want to ask yourselves:

That qualifier in which England demolished Germany, who played up front with Owen?

Have you played as well since?

Who does Owen want to play alongside?

I quite like Heskey. Yes, when he first left Liverpool he did turn into an absolute donkey, but last season he nearly single handedly carried Wigan.

I've got him in my fantasy football team this season  Cool

I'm undecided.

Initially I though oh dear however based on form then give him a go, deserves a shot.

I was impressed with your essay.  The sentence is grammatically correct, and involves no ambiguity.  The use of words is economical, no syllable is wasted.  You make a logical and forceful argument, with limited opportunity for rebuttal.  Nice use of the present tense, clearly implying that the situation is here and now.  You are awarded 100%, for excellent content and appropriate use of the English language.


I'd argue that  "End of. " , as a sentence, is not grammatically correct.

Heskey, is very much like David James.

He performs much better when he isnt at a big club and in the media every week.

I think it's going backwards a bit... Maybe if McLaren used friendlies properly and actually tried some people out, he wouldn't have to revert to players who are probably past their best on the international scene.

I think he's the best option available and deserves his go on that basis.  It does however show up the myth that we are world beaters when we have players such as him in our team.

Has Lampard been ruled out yet?

They said on the BBC Lampard is pretty certain to miss this one and V Russia but hopeful Gerrard will be fit.

Problem with Heskey is that he used to run through defences and barge people out of his way. Now when anyone gets so much as a pinch of his shirt he goes to ground.

Not saying that it's not a foul, but he's a much better player when he carries on regardless.

Technically, I would agree but, some license is appropriate.  The author could have stated "This is the end of the argument".  However common usage of "End of" captures that meaning, but with greater finality.   On the one hand, technically it is not grammatically correct, but on the other hand there is efficiency in use of words, without loss in meaning.  A very precise and thorough critique of McClaren has been made.  Full credit should be given for both style and content.

  Yeah but license is American.....licence is English, so undermines credibility as an arbiter of the English language.......and Heskey is shit.

An on form Heskey would be a major boost for England, when he stays on his feet he's probably one of the forwards defenders least like playing against, OK he's not a goalscorer but he's a fucking menace.

I'd have tried him a while ago.
