agreed adje, sadly i think his deadball ability makes him almost a neccessity as we'd have been fucked without him today. i'd much rather see a winger who will take players on, trackback, you know - actually play like a winger.
oh hang on we've got one!
the ref was shite as well. look at the stats and facts on beckham and you will realise how important he really is to enland (and madrid)i would love to have a winger who attacked his defenders but until we have a winger who can create as many chances as beckam does he will do the job |

A win against T&T and we can put our feet up a bit. I wouldn't take that for granted just yet. |

Plays in midfield and his name is Tommy Miller,
signed him from Huddersfield his name is Tommy Miller,
first touch is average but his second is a killer,
heeeeeey Tommy Miller!

How can they blame the heat! especially beckham, ffs he plays in spain every week!! He'll have been playing in the evenings though (Spanish clever enough to know it's too hot in the day). It was over 30 degress yesterday, but the next 2 games are a late afternoon and an evening kick off. |

I think 3 points is all that matters in the end. The referee was a total cunt but then it hapens.
Bring on Trinidad and I hope I'm not being too optimistic expecting atleast 3 goals from England on Thursday.

The last time our primma donnas came up against a commited side of lower league players who got in their face...namely Norvern Ireland....they didn't fancy it much, could easily be something similar on Thursday. |

I think Beckham contributes much more than a lot of people make out. His pass completion rates will be lower than others because he's the only one that puts any crosses in. And most of the crosses are pretty damn good: if not finding the striker then at least going pretty damn close. Much more effective than a lot of other players who go past a player and then pass it backwards/knock it out.

Having been too drunk to remember the game, i've just remembered Hargreaves and Downing came on. Forgive me if i'm wrong, but wasn't our best winger in the warm up games Aaron Lennon? He can play roght or left, and should have been chucked on way ahead of the massively overrated Downing. And i can think of 3 players in our squad who should play the holding role ahead of Hargreaves.
I don't get Ericsson.
Oh, and how obvious is it now that we needed a Defoe or someone in the squad for whan Mickey Owen inevitably fails to produce again...?
