Okay performance for the reserve England side, although i'm sure many people will ignore the fact that it was almost entirely the reserve England team playing and just call all of the England team shit trololololololololol. *face palm*

 

[ghst]

Rooney, Barkley and Wilshere are the only ones from today who should start against Italy.

the ox.

 

[rodvik]

Rooney, Barkley and Wilshere are the only ones from today who should start against Italy.

I would say Wilshere did his damndest to play himself out of a starting slot.

 

[Walshy]

Wait. Isn't he off to Liverpool though? I don't even...

Breaking: Spurs offer for Moreno of Seville: £14m plus Soldado (loan) and giving them Capoue (retaining 50 per cent re-sale)

Lee Clayton @LeeClayton_ · 20m
It shows how highly Spurs rate the 21 year-old Spaniard. Story updating on @MailSport now (adding the Capoue element) by @SamiMokbel81_DM

Dunno how reliable he is, but it seemed as if he is nailed on for Liverpool.

But I thought Mkhitaryan was, I get the same vibes with Moreno.

Uhh we also call the England first team shit too. Nothing's really changed.

Roy keeping Milner on out of spite.

pretty sure Roy runs the Boring James Milner account too

Spurs are going to have to probably double the wages we'd offer him if they want him without CL football.

 

[Gareth Bale]

But what about Oxlade

Maybe. He looked good but I think Lallana is a safer bet against Italy.

 

[Mr.Marston]

disgraceful

Ox would never make a challenge like that.

 

[LegoArmo]

disgraceful

Referee got it spot on.

 

[Scousefury]

Wilshere was fucking awful, i could not be happier to see Raheem stick one on Valencia, the fucking cockend

 

[Walshy]

disgraceful

.

 

[Marc]

He probably thought he was out of the WC now.

"@PhantomGoal: Gerrard is going to barge the absolute shit out of Antonio Valencia next season. Unprecedented levels of barging."

Gerrard will definitely slip into Valencia.

Rooney, Barkley and Wilshere are the only ones from today who should start against Italy.

Change Rooney for Ox and I would go along with that. Also Sterling despite the 'red' card.

Jones got better in the game to be fair, still unsure on Jagielka as he was out for a fair amount of time.



There were good bits in this game, just the line up and tactics that held England back. The defence were shocking. Milner should be retired from football.

 

[Steverulez]

So what do we think is wrong with Ox?

When Romeu did his ACL, he walked off the pitch...

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Spurs are going to have to probably double the wages we'd offer him if they want him without CL football.

The only advantage they have over us atm is the allure of living in London. If we can convince him to choose us, a bidding war is needless.

 

[Vivalaraza]

.

:lol

Just...okay.

Further evidence he's a pussyo though.

 

[Walshy]

Alberto and Reina have been putting in good words for us. Fingers crossed eh.

I see Emre Can is near enough done. Should be confirmed tomorrow.

 

[Slizz]

Sterling is lucky Tony V didn't body him up.

Though props to Sterling, I thought he'd wilt as fast as Neymar seeing a Pepe

 

[bud]

.

there was a spider on his neck.

 

[HotHamWater]

Ugh, can see Roy's nipples poking out of that shirt.

 

[Broder Salsa]

disgraceful

That's a red? The pussification of football!

.

Your point being? Nobody is saying he didn't deserve it either.

 

[Marc]

disgraceful

After winning the ball, again rash but c'mon it was nothing. The ball was there to be won.

 

[Feorax]

If that tackle happens in the first 15 mins it's a warning for both. That's the biggest problem in refereeing right now, zero consistency.

 

[CelticKnight]

Wilshere grabbed someone's throat during the "aftermath" of that incident but no one gave a toss.

If I was the ref I'd have just banged Sterling's and Valencia's heads together and just got on with it. Althought it was funny to see Sterlings reaction.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I feel like Sterling's studs ended up nowhere near as close to Valencia's leg as that image makes it seem. That's probably luck on Sterling's part, but still.

 

[Vivalaraza]

After winning the ball, again rash but c'mon it was nothing. The ball was there to be won.

I wouldn't send players off for tackles like that - and that's why when I first saw it I didn't think it was a red.

But that is a pretty bad challenge...in any game nevermind a friendly pre-WC.

 

[King_Moc]

disgraceful

The picture makes it look like he totally misses the ball and goes right through his shin...which clearly didn't happen.

 

[Meier]

For the record, it's just Alberto. That's what he goes by, no Alberto Moreno or even Moreno. Just Alberto. I'm still crossing my fingers that we use our first right of refusal on him but there haven't been any rumors really since January.

 

[Slizz]

If that tackle happens in the first 15 mins it's a warning for both. That's the biggest problem in refereeing right now, zero consistency.

It'll never change and I feel like it's something that fans and players need to get used to.

Eventually football will have replays on plays past a goal or non goal, but there will always be the human element in officiating, in fact sports need it.

Baseball right now does not need umpires. They can do balls and strikes with lasers, same with foul and fair balls, homeruns and non-homeruns, but they don't.

Human error is essentially a prime element in all sports.

 

[doicare]

Uhh we also call the England first team shit too. Nothing's really changed.

Exactly that's the problem, the England first choice team isn't shit but people with delusional expectations, or terrible opinions, or stupid trolls say they are. Basically if you don't play like Spain or Brazil then you're shit according to FootballGaF. smh

[Gareth Bale]

Shows how close (or rather dangerous) it was though, which is more significant that whether he made contact.

 

[John Dunbar]

italy tied with luxembourg? haha

 

[Walshy]

:lol

Just...okay.

Further evidence he's a pussyo though.

there was a spider on his neck.

:lol.

Sterling looked shook when those Ecuadorian goons of the bench came for him.

Probably was a red though, you don't go in like that in a WC qualifier.

Your point being? Nobody is saying he didn't deserve it either.

I didn't say he deserved to stay on the pitch.

And I have no point, just responding to the picture of Sterling's tackle with a close up of Valencia's reaction.

 

[Vivalaraza]

"Wiggle" by Jason De-Rulo (Jaaaasooon, De-Rulllooooo) just came on on my Spotify.

Mental that this type of crap gets released.

 

[Marc]

Kevin Bacon talking about watching England and freekicks outside the box....


Pls stahhp!

I wouldn't send players off for tackles like that - and that's why when I first saw it I didn't think it was a red.

But that is a pretty bad challenge...in any game nevermind a friendly pre-WC.

I agree, it is a rash challenge in a friendly but again this is a case of being young and thinking you have to be perfect to break into the team and end up doing impatient things. He could have caught up a yard further and won it cleaner, that doesn't mean winning it earlier and with more danger in doing so is automatically a red.

 

[GQman2121]

I wish more players would react like Kaka. Just stay out of and let the ref do the sorting.

 

[Vivalaraza]

:lol.

Trust me m8. Sterling's from around my endz. Went to the school that all the losers go to. Not got it in him.

All of that makes me very happy, especially if it keeps Ayre in charge of sponsorships, but gets him away from transfers

Hope it's true

 

[rodvik]

Getting more than a little tired with the media narrative that this is a "wide open" world cup.

Brazil are going to win it. The only drama is who will play them in the final.

 

[il Diavolo]

italy tied with luxembourg? haha

Thats what happens when you put Aquilani and Ranocchia on at the same time.

 

[Slizz]

My previous post supports this and I agree with you.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Find it a little funny that this thread talks about England like we're the worst team on the planet (myself included) but the likes of Italy, Germany and France have hardly pulled any trees up recently

 

[Yen]

Isn't it the CEO who negotiates transfers?
I think Billy Hogan is the sponsor guy.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Me too. But I really do enjoy when the Premier Ass goes full on family dollar employee at the refs.

 

[Yurt]

italy tied with luxembourg? haha

hitting the crossbar multiple times should count as a goal

0.3 per crossbar or something.
