Lamb is bomb.
Wasn't born in this country, Wilshere is gonna have some words.
But seriously Roy. Seriously?
Funny you say this, but it's probably true. :-/
Haven't tried lamb, just had the standard pork and my mum got some smoked mackerel which is amazing.

I find is so strange that he's called up.
I mean, Henderson has more merit being in the England squad.
He sort of helped set up the first goal didn't he?
But he hasn't shown anything this year to warrant a call up, surely you can't call players up just to phase him in?
Ungrateful cunt. We tried to sign him two years ago.
Why wouldn't you, when they're clearly talented? It's not as if he just had his debut. The FA has been aware of him for awhile, he's one of the most highly rated young English players. If they see him as an integral part of the future team, then I see no reason not to include him in the training and traveling.

3DS is not that powerful. Too many polygons.
Because joining up a national team such as England should be based on merit rather than talent. Townsend deserved his start because he has been a standout player for Spurs this season.
And when you don't have a right back for a game that makes or breaks your qualification campaign, the strangest thing to do would be to call up a left winger and not a right back.

He knows he can not get into the best midfield in Europe.

What have you done?
So Wales called up a sixteen year old called Harry Wilson. Wilson plays for Liverpool and has only featured for the U21s once, an twenty minutes substitute appearance. Wales have called him up to the national squad, just to get him to stay with Wales rather than go to England and he was on the bench against Macedonia yesterday.
Insanity from the Welsh FA and Chris Coleman.

Yep
Sterling has not had a good start to the season, and is still struggling badly with the differen in opposition defending between reserve and first team level. Meanwhile, Henderson has had a solid if unspectacular start, and covers the position of the player that's actually necessitated Sterling's callup.
On merit, I'd have Redmond above Sterling at this particular moment, if Roy insists on calling up a spare winger.
Ah well, decent experience for Raheem, though he'd probably learn more with a few close training sessions at Liverpool in the absence of the international players than he will with the England setup
People on RAWK seem pretty pissed off with Coleman clearly using Wilson as a kind of political pawn to try and fool the Welsh FA into thinking that he's making strides for the future of Welsh football, when he is in fact merely trying to save his job. I'm not too bothered as long as he doesn't start, and our own staff keep his feet on the ground.
As said Henderson should have been called up before Sterling. In all fairness, Henderson should have been called up on merit before Cleverley. Sterling was good in pre-season, but since then been quite poor, Whilst Henderson has been solid, even with a few motm worthy performances. Sterling really gets picked on the fact that he is a young englishman who excitingly 'burst onto the scene last year'.

Does he function well as a cog in the machine? Whenever I watch Blackpool (not often, admittedly,) he seems to be everything for them, best player, best scorer, best winger, best striker. Their main tactic seems to be 'get the ball to Ince and see what happens'
Wonder if Roy wants to see how he can do as bonafide winger before calling him up. Plus, there's the gap between Championship and Premier League which, while perhaps overblown by the England setup in terms of their reluctance to call players up from there, is considerable.
Let that be a lesson to you, Lunch.
There's a fair few youngsters who should be a part of the first team by now. But a winger for a central midfielder is just plain nonsense.
I think Sterling has been average but we forget that he's only 18 and been played out of position most of the time he has featured this season. He is either playing on the right wing (his best position is on the left) and played at right wing back. The good thing he's developing defensively, by playing at right wing back, I thought he was decent against Palace. I'd definitely have Redmond over Sterling as well, but there is no point bringing up another winger.
I definitely agree that England and the FA's archaic coaching probably won't be anything of use but who knows a lot of these younger players pick up a lot when they go away with England.
On Harry Wilson, it's absolutely a farce from Coleman. He's a talent but he's 16 and hardly featured in U21's let alone international football. It does seem political and Coleman only got the job due to the circumstances of how his predecessor left and the gloom that surrounded that tragedy.
No way. Unproven at the top level.
Definitely. Henderson has been in the top three players for me so far this season with Sturridge and Mignolet. How a 35 year old Lampard still gets in the team is beyond me. Give the likes of Henderson or Cleverley starts.
i wonder if roy is even aware that there are teams beyond the current few big premier league teams. though in fairness one could wonder this about mclaren and capello as wellDoes he function well as a cog in the machine?

Like I'd want to be hamstrung dragging you around like a fucking iron ball chained to my ankle
I can kind of see why people hate Origin now, its just a pain in the arse having to use a different service for a few games. I still think its absolutely ridiculous though that people want Steam to have a monopoly, and are resentful of companies wanting to keep the money made from their games rather than giving Valve a slice for the privelege of hosting their games on Steam.
