Re: Your England XI
Roy is announcing his squad live on'tinternetto! Have we done that before? How severely underexciting.
That's not a leopard!

Re: Your England XI
Can't really argue with that. Would have had Defoe in for Welbeck though.

Re: Your England XI
I'd much sooner have seen Baines as back up for Cole (or an either/or situation) with the young shaver from Southampton being introduced for the Euro qualifiers.BWFC_Insane wrote:Yeah I'd have had Cole in the squad too. I'm all for getting the new guard in but Cole's experience would have been massively useful. I'm not convinced by Baines as an international full back, but we'll see.
The other one, albeit one that's likely to be an irrelevance, is I'd have had Ruddy in long before I'd have had the boy from Celtic in. And no, it's not a dig at Scottish footie, but the fact remains that he could be called upon to face some of the best attacking players in the world.

Re: Your England XI
Shaw has to be in the squad for me. I reckon he could play in front of a left back as well. We need to get these lads in now rather than resist and make the same mistakes of sticking with the old guard we did before.Bruce Rioja wrote:I'd much sooner have seen Baines as back up for Cole (or an either/or situation) with the young shaver from Southampton being introduced for the Euro qualifiers.BWFC_Insane wrote:Yeah I'd have had Cole in the squad too.

But yeah Cole is one of those who has worthwhile experience. Internationally our back four looks very inexperienced really and it is probably the one area that really needs an old head or two.
However, the thinking should really be that we have no chance of winning it but by blooding youngsters and giving them real tournament experience we are setting ourselves up for 2 or 4 years time. That may be cliched but we don't want the Beckham situation repeating all over again.....

Re: Your England XI
Not that I'm aware of... first thing I've ever known of a squad announcement has always come from reading a newspaper. I've never seen it the same light as say an FA Cup round draw. It isn't something that I'd ever thought of investing much expectation of excitement into, and certainly don't deem it necessary to have a countdown to. So to me its pretty pointless having the selection announced 'live' at a specified time.BWFC_Insane wrote:This is a low key squad announcement.

Apparently in 2006 there was a "party" at the Cafe Royal in London with DJ Spoony there for Sven's world cup squad announcement!Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Not that I'm aware of... first thing I've ever known of a squad announcement has always come from reading a newspaper.

This was more low key by comparison.

Re: Your England XI
I didn't know. This was far too high key for my liking, but trust Sven to out high key it.BWFC_Insane wrote:Apparently in 2006 there was a "party" at the Cafe Royal in London with DJ Spoony there for Sven's world cup squad announcement!Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Not that I'm aware of... first thing I've ever known of a squad announcement has always come from reading a newspaper.

Re: Your England XI
Quite a good player that Everton had brought through their ranks, he is a centre back, Cahill type.

Re: Your England XI
danny dub = danny wilson
w = dubya / dub / double u
yorkshirite wouldve been better as yorkshire-ite and is a reference to his accent , verses martinez's 'foriegn = automatically better' -ness.
see also = mauricio pochettino , compare him to megson or pardew or something. you'd think he were jock stein or summat the way the papers go on.
i think he's (martinez is) the spanish coyle, I might be wrong, maybe he claps less, i dunno . But I get the same vibes, he got wigan relegated by signing shite, and folk still think the sun shines out of his arse. he can play the media well , maybe.
also ole solskjaer has got no 'stick' for being utterly shite . its definitely something. maybe they know the 'right' people.
allardyce / bwfc got fecking battered in a tv expose that had no basis on anything other than fecking over bolton wanderers. they did similar to alex fergusons brother , and spent about 9 years trying to apologise to his brother (alex, who was acting like a sulking baby over it) rather than the person in question. even though iirc he got fined for being bent (ie, they were right in that case.. *maybe* i carnt really remember)
he (roberto martinez) wears a shit coat (was like a john motson sheepskin type thing) - I may have only seen him wear it once, but it was in fecking early september or summat , 85-90 degree weather. i laughed at the soft get and its my nickname for him now. people called ferguson 'red nose' coz his nose is red .
fair enough the kid's (this john stones lad) in the top flight now, but still ..
rings a bit false .. i'dve took ashley cole.
