England squad

[lebowski]

i disagree with bennett in that i dont think lampard is over-rated because i dont think that anyone actually rates lampard anymore.

and if they do then i'd like to gouge out their eye balls and skull fuck them.

[Bennett]

i agree with lebowski and retract my opinions, except for the fat and useless bit

[timmyg]

I cant believe some of the players that have got into that squad.

Kirkland is made of glass and is Rubbish. Carson has been very, very good, and what about David James? He's been a hero this season at Pompey.

Jenas is fucking horrendously shit, and how he gets into the Spurs team, let alone the England squad must be the subject of an inquiry.

SWP has hardly played and when he has he's been shit. What about Milner? He's been fantastic recently. Downing MUST be McLaren's love-child. He's the most one dimentional player I've ever seen get to the top flight. He can cross a ball! Woo!

And that suad shows just how lacking England are up front. Rooney is fantastic, but needs a decent partner and Johnson/Defoe/Bent/Crouch are not him.

And hasn't Hargreaves been out for 3 months with a broken leg?

[DiV]

Hmmm that sqaud still looks pretty bland upfront...Defoe, Crouch and Johnson...

Good to see Barton get picked, chances are he'll get 15 minutes on the right wing or something  :roll:

Should have kidnapped and brought Paul Scholes along, better than anything in that midfield FACT!

[Rich Pullen]

I'm happy Joey Barton is in the squad - I thought he'd never get in after criticising the players for Autobiography deals (and rightly so) - Gives him a chace to put his preaching into practice.

I rate Gareth Barry and am glad he's in there aswell - he's pretty much single handedly saved Villa this season!

[Bogus Dave]

To be fair on the hargreaves issue, i heard somewhere that he was being in the squad just for the team meetings or something. Not that he'll actually be playing.

Downing also has been preforming well recently, and generally always has done in the premiership. So on that basis, i can see why he gets included. But as its a friendly, barry should be given a start, just to see how he does.

[Ben Wah Balls]

McClaren is happy to give Barton his chance, despite speculation his inclusion could cause friction after the City midfielder launched a verbal attack on Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.

Lampard took exception to Barton's comments and there had been suggestions that the England coach had been approached by some senior players and asked not to pick the 24-year-old.

 :wanker:

i disagree with lampard. it's my opinion he's massively over rated, fat and useless. it's also my opinion we could do with someone that can specialise in one area than be a wannabe striker in our central midfield. he's also fat, and useless

Yes but Bennett love, you are exceptionally retarded and a gooner making you a disgrace to the name and therefore your opinion is irrelevant.

However it is good to see Barton in the squad, I've said for a long time he deserves a place. The fringe members of the squad look pretty weak though, why is Johnson even in the squad. I hope Lennon starts.

I find it difficult to even fake anything more than a sort of passing curiosity in the England team at the moment. Unless something clicks in my head I'm getting to a stage of apathy where I couldn't give a shit if they win or loose.

[STFC_Gazza]

Paul Scholes needs to be brought out of International retirement he is ace this season

[Simon Pieman]

I think Campbell should be in the squad

[Fred Elliot]

Yes that Darren Campbell was good on "The Match"

Quite pacy IIRC

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Wankers the lot of them. (With the possible exception of Joey Barton)

[Northern Red]

Phil Neville (Everton), Downing (Midd'boro), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Dyer (Newcastle)

There's 4 people to be cut immediately - There's much better options, some in the Under-21's.

Should'nt you be supporting Israel or some far-flung caribbean island side instead then Ben?

 

[McLovin]

4 Strikers in the squad. How incredibly dull.

I also don't understand why Terry is in the squad if he hasnt been playing, especially as this is only a friendly. Same goes for Hargreaves.

Jenas should never get near an England squad, same goes for SWP.
