 :cry: Ive got no Champions League

 :cry: Ive got no world cup.

 :cry: Ive won nothing for years and my careers going down the pan.

And I quote Carragher from Aprils FourFourTwo 'You cant just walk in when others have put all the graft in'.

No you cant. Fuck off you stupid scouse prick.

I guess you mean no Premier League.

I dont understand?

I think Spence was referring to competitions he isn't playing in, not ones he hasn't won. That's the problem with being a smartarse - you need to make sure you've understood the original post properly :)

We(England) are in a right old fucking mess.

worst squad i can ever remember

worse than Graham Taylors failed 1994 squad, faeturing geoff thomas, carlton palmer and andy sinton? have a word.

He did say that he can remember.He was riddled with E's at that point

Or Euro 2000?!

Basically still the same team as Euro 96 but older and with a shitter manager.

and phil neville as 1st choice left back

i'd say the 2000 squad was better than what we have now.taylors squads debatable i think.

Hahahahahah fuck off

compare the 2000 squad to what we will have this year.
then you fuck off

what he said

Of the 2000 squad who'd get in now? Seaman, shearer neville and scholes, possibly mcmannaman? And the reserves are much worse

Owen, surely?

I'd have shearer and rooney ahead of owen

David Beckham?

Keegan took Dennis Wise, Jason Wilcox, Ray Parlour and Nick Barmby to Euro 2000. That was half our midfield.

McManaman did OK in the first game, but he was passed it as well.

Most of the good players were either too old or too young.

Very poor squad.

well now we have 1 real decent striker who is currently injured.a poor choice of keepers.a midfield with the 2 best players who dont gel,barry injured,hargreaves injured.crocked centre backs.nothing of any real quality at right back.

You're a chode

thanks

Many football historians in the UK are 2000-deniers. They claim that Euro 2000 never happened. However, he did beat the Germans on neutral territory that Summer.

:)

They were shit as well.

Exactly the same problem we had, same squad as Euro 96, just older and shitter.

But they were even worse off because they didnt have the young players comming through that England did.

I do hope Carragher isn't in the squad ahead of Dawson... The two have been miles apart for at least the last 12 months, if not longer

I completely agree.  Unless he takes both - Carragher as right back cover.  BBC sports rumours page says the Mirror believes Brown and Neville will miss out.  Mind you, that's the Mirror, so won't be true.

Defenders I'd take: Cole, Baines, Ferdinand, Terry, King, Dawson, Johnson, Brown.

I'd take Jagielka instead of King (too injury prone) or Brown (whose rubbish), Jagielka can play anywhere in the back 4 and in midfield as well.  His form end of season for Everton has been very good.

Yeah, wheras King's form has been really shit  ::)

No mention of Kings form being shit, just concerned his plastic knees may give way and leave the squad a man down, hence the reason I put King (too injury prone).

I wouldn't take Wes Brown in a million years, as he's shite.

Given the lack of quality alternatives I'd take King. Yes he's a cripple but for me he's the only centre back we have who would actually be capable of challenging Ferdinand and Terry for a 1st team place if he's fit.  We'll have plenty of cover in the squad if he breaks as it looks like there will be another specialist centre back and the cover at right back can play there as well (carragher, Brown Jagelik) a

As Capello has said, Ledley King managed to play 4 games in 15 days near the end of the season.

There isn't a more on form english centre back right now than Ledley King. He has to go.

I'd say the 4 CBs and the 2 LBs pick themselves. Dunno about right backs mind you...

i would go with.king,terry,ferdinand,dawson,cole,johnson,and pick any other 2 as hopefully neither will play.

Gary Neville for first choice rightback... Had a better few months than Johnson

30 man squad announced -

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8673706.stm

Easily the worst defensive choices since whenever it was you dribbled on about, right?

what?
daft cunt.you should have stayed at crossroads

King has to go - as has been said, he is on form and realistically is there as cover in case of injury or suspension of Rio or Terry, in which case its 1 or maybe 2 games max.

Can see the logic of taking Carragher as he can cover any of the back 4 positions, so it frees up another slot further forward. Having said that, how will Upson feel if he is left out after playing in the shitty eastern european away games to get us there cos Carragher couldn't be arsed to ?

I'd play King from the start... much better than the likes of Ferdinand. Obviously, fitness permitting.

At the moment, King is probably the best of the lot. Definitely start him but then again might be better to wait till we play quality opposition to use him.

I'd be annoyed if I'd played a large majority of the qualifiers then missed out on a place in the finals because someone (who isn't even that good and hasn't had a good season at all) decided to come out of international retirement.

...and when has Jamie Carragher been anything other than wank at fullback?

Yes, but wank is not neccesarily worse than Wes Brown, is it?
