I don't know what's gone on in the last page and a half but I do know that Aston Villa's European Cup victory was mentioned!!!

Wooooooo!!!!

 

[Mastadon]

This is the problem, I don't think Carroll is even a particularly good link up target man. His touch, balance and awareness is appalling.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Have you seen his last couple of games for us? He's been immense. He's managed to win some headers, do a step-over, and even scored a goal.

What more do you want?

 

[Empty]

Carroll plays for Liverpool. That would have been a factor.

yeah but i was hoping roy would actually prefer players with a lower profile given the teams he's done best with.

 

[rodvik]

Welbeck has been more than one level above Carroll this season.

Nobody is saying he's a great player, but he has been much better than Carroll.

fair enough. Its still a damn big drop from Rooney to the rest though.

 

[The Atticus]

Walker out of the Euros. No!!!!
sorry if late

 

[immy]

If Roy takes Downing I swear I will not support England in the Euro's.

I usually get a shirt etc when it's a tournament but I won't. I'll just spend that £30+ on some cheap shirts from Soccer Triads or something.

Are the names good on soccer triads, fancy a £10 Gotze shirt!

 

[rodvik]

Thanks, needed the laugh.

Lol well i didnt mean to insult wellbeck there, maybe he is much better than Carroll. But nobody is suggesting he is anywhere near the level of Rooney or even (big drop here) Bent right? Not yet anyway.

 

[Vivalaraza]

fair enough. Its still a damn big drop from Rooney to the rest though.

For sure. The attacking talent is ridiculously poor. Even in AM. Gerrard the only other player who you could consider as "good" on an international level.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Holt should be there before Carroll but you need a big man to hold it up so wouldn't have too many issues about Carroll

After all he doesn't have a price tag in an England shirt

 

[rodvik]

For sure. The attacking talent is ridiculously poor. Even in AM. Gerrard the only other player who you could consider as "good" on an international level.

Agreed with that.

 

[Salazar]

Clev leak ?

 

[Yen]

Whilst we are talking cock injuries

I snapped my banjo string when I was 17, horrendous I swear I actually heard a popping noise and there was so so much blood

Painful memories

what the fuck?

 

[K1LLER7]

Wonder if Crouch is in the team. Doesn't he usually get in the England team?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Wonder if Crouch is in the team. Doesn't he usually get in the England team?

He has also been left out according to reports.

 

[rodvik]

Walker out of the Euros. No!!!!
sorry if late

Dissapointing. really good player.

I will be mad if Rio of left out because of "issues" (in addition to form) and Terry is left in.

 

[Carbonox]

So no Walker or Richards? Yet he'd pick Johnson? :lol

Might as well take a punt on Danny Simpson. Despite being a complete and utter dickhead, he's been quality this season. I hate wishing good things on players I despise though. Oh well.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

what the fuck?

Being banned for that post would be rather painful as well

 

[K1LLER7]

He has also been left out according to reports.

looks like Carroll might have took his place. suprising seen as Crouch usually play pretty well when used.

I'm guessing there's no Carrick, bad move if so.

Guessing it's Baines and Cole for LB

 

[Vivalaraza]

Dissapointing. really good player.

I will be mad if Rio of left out because of "issues" (in addition to form) and Terry is left in.

Daniel Taylor is saying he's been told it's because of concerns regarding hit fitness.

I don't see how it could be form. Rio has been as good/bad as Terry this season. He's also played more games then Terry, though his risk of injury is greater.

Apparently Ferdinand thinks it is because of tension between him and Terry.

Which brings me back to my earlier point...Terry shouldn't even be considered for selection until his court case is finalized.

 

[choodi]

I fucking hate being the lone regular Toon fan here. Willkiller's banned, Kyoufu's making love to Diablo 3, and Offshore/Chriswok hardly jam with us. Isn't Choodi one though?...

Guilty!

I'm Australian though so must of the time I'm asleep or at work when you guys are active.

I have been making more of an effort to post lately, so I will try to keep it up.

 

[Salvadora]

Didn't United say they didn't want their players playing internationally this summer?

 

[Wilbur]

I've had so many Doctors fingering my knob and bollocks that I don't even care anymore. I walk round my own house stark naked and nobody bats an eyelid. I'm not even well endowed (if Yakubu is a 10 and Wilbury is a 0, I'm about a 6)

I don't even have the urge to protest. One day you'll see WJD. If we win the title next year I'll PM everyone here a picture of my dick

 

[K1LLER7]

You sure we'll be able to spot it, with the siza and all ;P

my guess at the Euro team:

hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Parker, Barry, Gerrard/Lampard (only one will play), Young, Walcott, Carroll/Rooney. (4-5-1)

 

[Vivalaraza]

Didn't United say they didn't want their players playing internationally this summer?

Fergie said he doesn't want anybody who plays at the Euro's to play at the Olympics. Also restricted a couple of players who were available for the Olympics from not playing.

 

[Plasma]

Somebody on my twitter feed reckons the Ox has been called up, I hope not he doesn't need more pressure put on him like Walcott did at an early age of his development.

Oh, He will. I wouldn't doubt that at all.
Edit: He'll have the hype/pressure I mean.

I thought Roy was well known for being a 4-4-2 man through and through? I could be wrong.

 

[Wilbur]

You sure we'll be able to spot it, with the siza and all ;P

I'll zoom motherfucker!!!

So let me get this right. No Richards. No Ferdinand. No Holt. But Zamora, Terry? I guarantee there's no Carrick.

Fuck me. Hope almost vanquished already. Why the fuck is Zamora coming?

 

[kharma45]

Just yesterday he was talking about winning more trophies with City next season. I hate agents, I really, really hate them.

The quotes from in The Telegraph's article are from him not from his agent, if he's always wanted to go back to Barca you can't blame his agent for that.

 

[Wes]

Country before Club damnit.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Yeah, people won't call him a mercenary anymore, they're gonna call him a c*nt.

Why? It's not like he started this flurry of insults. He's been getting it raw for the past 12 months from Arsenal fans even before he signed for Man City

 

[Awesome Animals]

Maybe Roy has decided to not worry about the Euwos and take some younger kids with less caps and break them in a bit in prep for the WC

 

[Plasma]

Sod that I support Arsenal over England.

 

[Salvadora]

He'd get crucified for that.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Hang on guys, I'm just hammering the last nails in my anti-Roy bandwagon. Should be a sweet little ride.

 

[dc89]

Never bought from there. A few on here have though, Willbury being one of them!

Awesome Animals got lettering, looked good

Also I'm not Blablurn, no extra L aha

 

[rodvik]

I would actually support that. Particularly if he says it. That strategy involves dropping terry though, which I support anyway.

 

[Feorax]

We've still got ours lying around somewhere if you need any spares.

 

[K1LLER7]

Englands should take any English swansea players and play the swansealona way.

 

[rodvik]

Honestly Leon Britton could really do well for us this year.

 

[Gareth Bale]

It's funny because even if Roy fucks up the Euros completely we still have him for four years.

Roy picked Joe Cole!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Honestly Leon Britton could really do well for us this year.

Nah, Barry and Parker know how to pass sideways and backwards already.

 

[Yen]

I seriously want Pulis as England manager. Crouch and Carroll up top. 442. Delap. Long balls, throwins and corners.

Oh God. Stop it. Please make it stop.

I'd rather have Cole than a lot of players, had a good year by all accounts

 

[kharma45]

I'll take it their shirts are *ahem* replicas? Seem awfully cheap and I'm guessing they're not the real deal.

Actually, are they replica replicas even? As the ones you'd get for £40 are still replicas.

"People at Arsenal tried to make out that I came here for the money," Nasri told French TV station TF1. "I hope they are watching me now collecting my Premier League winner's medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many seasons now. If all that I was interested in was money, the easiest decision would have been to stay at Arsenal, picking up my money every week and walking into the team. There are many people doing this right now at Arsenal. I made the hard choice to come and fight for my place at a big club, where they never settle for second best, and I have proved it correct. I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their lives and forget me, they should celebrate their third-place achievement and I will focus on winning titles."

- Samir, Nasri​

Those who insisted on calling him a mercenary remain in denial because the alternative is to acknowledge what he says in his last sentence, and that is something many cant accept.

Nasri is such a humble person unlike Arsenal fans who threw him under the bus and booed him. Go go Nasri.

she can sit on mine

andale...

We joke about this but I think it would work.
