Davo in an England Shirt

Like wise!

Thought Davies had a really good game. He provided a lot more than Crouch did and he played a significantly less amount of time. Adam Johnson was my MOTM by a country mile. Just a shame that Rooney kept pulling deep causing Gerrard to drop deep making Gareth Barry useless (why have a holding midfielder in a game where we don't need one).

I would just like to say well done to Sir Kevin of Davies. Did what he does. Didn't let anyone down. Caused some bother in the box. Got booked (that made me smile actually regardless of whether it was or not). Very well played.

Cheers Kev, I don't normally bother with England games, but made the effort for the last 20 minutes of this one.

What a guy...

should have had a penalty, two of the bastards holding him back when he were giving their goalkeeper the shites.

I'll give a more detailed, subjective, sober view from behind enemy (footertainment) lines, tomorrow. When I'm more sober. Suffice to say, apparently, us drawing was all Kevin Davies' fault....

[jimbo]

He should have claimed 14 for himself. He's not a natural number 18

F*ck it, I'm proud. Stood up when he came on, didn't sit down till the end. Smile across my face, but despite that, a lingering fear he'd do a Ricketts and show himself up. Didn't happen. England's best two chances of the match came through him, in between a decent cross cleared, and a quality reverse ball that saw, yet again England's best player, Adam Johnson draw a foul.

Booking, well, ten years ago when football was a contact sport it's play on, nowadays it's a foul, but a booking and five minutes of some beardy twunt rubbing his throat. Fook off. Money on Martin Samuel saying he summed up why we couldn't beat lowly (so very well organised) Montenegro, whilst claiming Ashley 'Cheating bastard' Young should have had a pen for pre-empting a foul by doing a Tom Daley?

As for the rest of the game. Glen Johnson is the next Phil Neville/ Ashley Cole/ Emile Heskey/ Frank Lampard, we have to pick on one player. He's a good player, easily England's best at RB. Tonight he was utterly woeful. Barry is good sideways or backwards, Gerrard stuck deep with ten to play through. You know who tonight's fault is? Fecking Arsenal/Spurs fans. No matter how much tippy tappy nice stuff you play, sometimes, you come up against a well drilled, at worst competent side, like they were tonight, and you need a different option. First half our best chances came on the right to left diagonal to Crouch, and it isn't his strong point. When Davo came on all our joy came from that too. Rooney? So bad tonight, really didn't help Kev. Davies good movement left to right, takes the big man out, offers short, it goes wide, he hits the back stick, sp what does Rooneydo, Rooney, who spent the entire first half in our half, does he come near post and short, bring a defender out to make space and give the wide man an option? No, he stands right next to Davo. Nice one.

Overall, just so happy to see him in an England shirt. Dream situation was an Ashley Young corner where he tweaked a hammy as Crouch and Lescoot clattered each other. "A triple substitution for England, coming on, Jack Wilshere, Gary Cahill, and Souuuuuupa Kevin Davies.

Final thought....number 18? Wrong.

As for the rest of the game. Glen Johnson is England's best at RB.

never seen him play at rightback , but , big paul is better.

you can just tell.

[americantrotter]

Dead chuffed. proud to see a true man wear the England shirt.

Yellow was crap, the media will seize on it. But good for Capello for putting him on.

Overall just overjoyed to see our guy out at Wembley. They can never take that from him or us.

I Agree totally with you, I saw the match live, I'm so proud heheheh

I think it's good for England that Davies got some time. It's kind of a "feel good story" for a team that hasn't had much to feel good about, on or off the pitch.

He also played well. Set up good chances for Rooney and Barry but with the way those two are playing it's no surprise that they didn't score. I'm glad he got the yellow card. Don't ever change, Kevin!

[H. Pedersen]

BTW, I'd like to buy a Davies England jersey but they are damn ugly.

I'm sorry by the way, i'm sorry..i'm going to have to put this out there, but don't shoot the messenger.

Quote from Martin (*cough* TOSSER) Samuel's match report:

That the biggest cheer came for 33-year-old Kevin Davies, the Bolton Wanderers striker more known for combative passion than prolific goalscoring, shows how tense the game had become by the time he got on after 67 minutes. Had Darren Bent stayed fit, Davies would not have made the bench. Had Jermain Defoe been available he would not have made the squad. Yet here he was, England’s potential saviour.

The man whose bookings have outweighed his goals in six of the last eight seasons did not disappoint in his 26 minutes of action. He got booked and failed to score.

oh so HE failed to score? riiiiiiiiiiight...well.

I thought it might be just me...........................

Technically Samuel, the absolute pieces of shite that are Rooney and Barry failed to score after Kev put it on a plate for them.

But we best not mention that eh?

Oh and as an aside, is SWP the worst player to ever pull on an England shirt? Absolutely useless in every respect. I suppose one day his massive lips might deflect a ball in, but other than that what a total waste of space. And like his "father" he obviously has shit for brains.

It was the Bolton Wanderers fans equivalent of Jacko's death - I had about 10 text messages arrive at once when he came on.
