good catch, you almost stitched yourself up.

[flammableBen]

It was a close call. BWB deserves some slack too. He seems to draw a lot of stick on the other football section. I quite often agree with him.

[Ben Wah Balls]

Thanks flammable. I wouldn't say I was biting, I'm not really that bothered, I just wanted to put the Mclusky lyric in because it's such a great song.

Anyway what had Beckham actually done for us since 2002? Not a lot.

hmmm he did play for footballing minnows Real Madrid for a bit, won a few medals. Nothing to shout about...

Yeah but i mean for England. He's unfit and plying his trade in a piss poor league. He shouldn't be in the team.

If Crouch gets a place then it must be open season though.  Every other decent nation must inwardly laugh at us when they see using him.   Sorry, he's just not good enough and the fact he gets a sniff of an England place (much like Carlton Palmer & Steve Bull) just goes to show the gulf in quality in certain positions.  It's not new, and every so often we get a half decent looking squad, we just seem bereft of 11 international class players all the time.  Too many people who can "do a job".  To be in with a shout of winning stuff you don;t need players who can score against Macedonia or Greece, you need players who can score regularly and score the shit out of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Holland etc.

Yeah I'm sure they're really laughing whilst he knocks a hat-trick past them. He has proved himself at the highest levels in football time and time again. I mean any similarity between Crouch and Carlton Palmer or Steve Bull is completely in your head - it's non-existent, Steve Bull spent most of his career outside of the top flight, Palmer was a completely different type of player and Crouch is in a far higher class than either of them. Crouch was second top scorer in the champions league last year Robert, that's proof enough alone that you're talking nonsense. Were those teams laughing too as Liverpool knocked them out on their root to the final? Clearly, they didnt have the last laugh. I've already ripped your weak argument about him only scoring against weak international teams to shreds. There are at least 15 weaker players than Crouch in the current England squad, why are you singling in him out? Fair enough, you obviously don't know much about England but why comment then.

Of course he is good enough, there are hundreds of international teams that would love to have him.

Technically, unless you count youths and ladies, there aren't hundreds of international teams, regardless of whether or not they'd want Crouch playing for them.

whilst it was only in the now Championship you cant shit on Steve Bulls scoring record.

Puts Crouchs to shame and then some!

I know less subs, smaller squads meant Bull probably played more, but still.....great scoring record.....cant deny that.
