What's worse is Wenker now thinks that Vardy is a winger and has lodged a bid.
If our bid to sign Suarez has been successful he would have spent at least half his time on the wing.
And the other half on the treatment table.

Any England fan with sense gave up all hope in 2010. The press do nothing but hinder the England team.

If the Premier League won't bring in proper foreigner limits, it will continue to hurt the England team.

The friendlies are pointless, the qualifiers are walkovers. It's as DULL as watching Arsenal pass it sideways season after season.

And that England Band want shooting :barscarf:



Oh, for the days of Euro 96 :(

It possibily reflects more on the people to whom you're listening, sid.

Think England will cruise through - whatever you think of how the media or fans may inflate England's expectations it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of international teams are garbage.

Wales played out of their skin throughout qualifying but that really was the peak of their ability. If they get a result against Slovakia then they could Spring a shock and take something off England but the reality is that Wales are packed full of very average players and it would be exactly that - a big shock - if they took anything off England. Likewise Slovakia.

I honestly think you need some counselling mate :D Are you secretly Scottish? None of these stories exist - the media canned us for that dogshite performance against Portugal's 10 men the other night, and I haven't read one newspaper account over here saying we can win it. If anything people believe we've got the worst centre half pairing we've had in years and whilst we've probably got a better choice of strikers than a view years ago, the back line is utter gash and will be ripped apart like it was 2 years ago

Keep imagining those press stories though !

There will always be those who will explode with confidence before tournaments. This confidence is generally built on a "super fan" mentality than logic. The blind loyalty says anything other than declaring a win is a probability rather than a possibility is treasonous to them.
Like Arsenal PLCs annual declaration of a war-chest that marks the coming of Summer. I am now waiting for "there is no reason why Ireland can't do well/ win the Euros" comments from the Super Faithful..
I don't think the English media have been so bad, there is an obvious stiffness in their collective trousers area over the fabled Spurs / England tradition, but no more than that.

Excellent spat in our media here. Martin O'Neill and complete gobshite media-whore Eamon Dunphy are exchanging blows*.

O'Neill said;
"To be criticised by a failed manager is bad enough but to be criticised by a failed player like Eamon Dunphy... I have to have a laugh at this, I heard Eamon once said, and I can't do the Dublin accent, 'I was a good player, not a great player...', No Eamon, you weren't even a good player. You can't call yourself a good player if you've never played in the big league."

:box: :fryingpan:

Dunphy replied:
"We were hopeless in the Aviva against Scotland because of team selection and because of the kind of game he (O'Neill) wants to play. It's very conservative, long ball stuff. I mean he signed Emile Heskey twice."

:hammer: :fencing:


:barscarf: :D




*and if the rumours are true old Eamon loves to exchange a "blowJOB", particularly with night club bouncers! Allegedly >cough< :shock:

:D :wink:
