[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sneijder off, Emmanuelson on.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Furby is on.

[Syn]

Parker had about 3 hours to play that simple ball that would've played Young through. He decided to take 3 hours and 2 seconds. If he had played that simple ball and if he hadn't fucked up on the Dutch first goal, England wouldn't be losing. But he'll probably get MOTM.

[LDG]

Danny Wellshit being well shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fraizer Campbell coming on for a DREAM GOAL.

[Cripps_orig]

Campbell is due

[Syn]

Psycho hates Theo. He's one of us tbf. Needs to replace Patrice.

[Dennis Bendtner]

[Cripps_orig]

France win 2-1 in Germany

Impressive

2-3 FT

Parker showing why he is the best in the world at what he does

Cruel defeat with a deflected goal but Parkers legacy is complete.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Bert plays Kuyt for the full 95 minutes. :bow:
To be fair, it's Kuyt.

He could play for another 95 minutes. In an empty stadium. Still wouldn't score though.

[Syn]

Pearce was trying to pull off the cool unflustered manager thing on the equaliser. He really wants this job doesn't he :lol:

Cahill's celebration was hilarious. He clearly wanted to go mental but all his energy was going into trying not to smile. And then he did some stupid brap thing.

[Flavs]

Bert plays Kuyt for the full 95 minutes. :bow:

Doesnt matter as he doesnt get in the Liverscouse team anyway

[Cripps_orig]

None of the british teams won

Team GB :rose:

[Syn]

To be fair, it's Kuyt.

He could play for another 95 minutes. In an empty stadium. Still wouldn't score though.

Yeah, he can sprint all day. He was probably the best player on the pitch in the second half. Not saying a lot but he did quite well after starting poorly.

[GP]

England :haha:

Parker :haha:

Vermaelen who we all thought was dead played the full game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A very experienced Dutch side. :rolleyes:

Yes it's the only quality good teams possess.

[LDG]

All in all. It's Arsenal's night.

A dream night, if you will.

It's what dreams are made of.

[LDG]

Oxlade and Lansbury (2) scored for the U21's too. :bow:

Farkin el!!!

That's a Ppppelter.

Henri :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Former England manager Graham Taylor on BBC Radio 5 live:

"What we have been watching tonight has been the reserve team. I don't mean to be disrespectful by saying that.

"But as a reserve side they have played reasonably well and some of them have made a point that they will step up. It's all about what you do in the tournament.

"That's where England's problems have been.

:haha:

Shut up Turniphead.

[Syn]

Pearce says the thing 'they was lacking' is "belief". Not technique. Not quality. Belief.

Well that's handy, because that's pretty much the only thing you can teach them.

[LDG]

:lol:

No creativity in midfield. Jack needed tbf.

Young looks a starter, and I reckon Sturridge is alright. Missed a sitter tonight, but he looks like someone who could make things happen.

Parker shouldn't even be playing let alone captain.

We need a beast in midfield too, else we're gonna get bossed all over the place by the beast in every other big national team....bar spain, who just, well, ya know....

[Syn]

Jack will have to go. England have nobody else that can offer what he can.

[Marc Overmars]

I fucked off to the gym at half time thinking it was going to be a shite ass 2nd half. :doh:

Sounded like a brave effort from Scotty's Lions but that little bit of quality Holland had was the difference.

Quarter-Finals at best for Inglund this summer.

[Syn]

Need some passion and grit back into the English defence.

Come back, Tezza.

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/people3/nov2011/0/2/john-terry-image-2-82824822.jpg

[LDG]

Jack will have to go. England have nobody else that can offer what he can.

Play him where Gazza used to play. It's where he'll end up playing for us.

Need a player who can mop up in the middle, and then someone with an Engine. Gerrard would do.

We're alright at fullback, CB is iffy, but as long as it doesn't have Terry in it I'm happpy.

Young out left, Theo/Lemon/Johnson/whoever out right, Sturridge up top, or Rooney when he plays his one game...

We only need to play with one striker anyway.

[Cripps_orig]

Spain 5-0

Soldado hat trick

Booked his place for this summer

[Marc Overmars]

I don't know why Carrick isn't in the picture, he's a better passer than anyone in the squad. But yes when Sir Jack mans up, England have a pretty good player to build around there for the next 10 years.

My team if everyone was fit and on form would be;

Hart

Richards Rio Cahill Cole

Carrick Gerrard Wilshere

Oxlade Rooney Theo

[Syn]

Carrick will play, I think.


-------------------Hart--------------------

Walker-----Rio---------Cahill---------Baines

Young------Parker------Carrick--------Milner

-----------------Wilshere-----------------

-----------------Rooney-------------------


:bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Hart

Richards Ferdinand Cahill Cole

Ox Parker Wilshere Theo

Gerrard

Rooney

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah, actually Young instead of Oxlade. A more realistic pick.

He's a little fanny but he does seem to have acquired a nack of goals with England.

[Master Splinter]

Robben is fucking alswome.

Greedy bastards :bow:.

Lord Parker :haha:.


Soldado :bow: :bow:.

Torres :haha:.

[Syn]

Actually, why is Richards there? Kyle Walker over Richards tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Spain won 5-0

[Master Splinter]

Tom Fisk "Most exciting England performance in a long long time... Result doesn't matter, the amount of heart does!"


Liam Coleman "Sure we lost, but at least we were brave for a change; Stuart Pearce take a bow for bringing that."

:haha:

Oh dear.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nice of him to pose with some of his slaves.

The slaves are raiding his fridge.

[GP]

Terry's got nothing against blacks.

He thinks everyone should own one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Highlights are on ITV1 now. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Highlights are on

Will they show goals of other games?

[Cripps_orig]

Southgate and Townsend are the pundits

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er not sure actually, it'll just be a brief video if so.

[Marc Overmars]

Actually, why is Richards there? Kyle Walker over Richards tbf.

Walker has done alright this season but I think it's always worth having a player in the team who can upload beast mode when he wants.

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen that Young half dive

:lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Will Parker be the england captain on a perm basis ?

[Cripps_orig]

Will Parker be the england captain on a perm basis ?Depends on the manager

Today done him no harm though.

Very good game

[Marc Overmars]

I would have thought Crooknapp will keep him a captain.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Depends on the manager

Today done him no harm though.

Very good game

Don't mind him but id rather someone who'd be in the sqaud alot longer tbh like Hart.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I would have thought Crooknapp will keep him a captain.

Nah he will give it to Dawson like he does with spuds.

[Syn]

The competition isn't that hot, is it?

Rooney, Cashley, Gerrard...? Might go to Wazza.

[Syn]

Don't mind him but id rather someone who'd be in the sqaud alot longer tbh like Hart.

Ah yeah, forgot about Hart. Might be him.

[Cripps_orig]

Don't mind him but id rather someone who'd be in the sqaud alot longer tbh like Hart.Nah keepers as captains are a bit shit

How old is Parker? 30? 31? Just checked. Hes 31. He'll be around for another 3, 4 years at least, add the fact hes a quality player then he'll be fine.

Wilshere to take over and lead England to the double in 2016 and 2018

Quote for truth

[Master Splinter]

In terms of players who are genuinely good, have performed for England decently more than twice and will be in the team for a while, Shrek, Hart and Wool Shear are the only viable options.

But then this is England.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

The competition isn't that hot, is it?

Rooney, Cashley, Gerrard...? Might go to Wazza.

Lets not forget if terry gets found not guilty he will be captain again. Should have gave it to stevie me tonight. one thing i know is that Pearce should not be given the england job ever.

[Dennis Bendtner]

How many of the England squad are certainties for the Euros? There's much dependent on if Twitchy's in place by then (Super Frank will be praying anyway). But even that aside, there isn't much set in stone in any position, is there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do other nations care about captaincy as much as we seem to do? GHEL culture. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen the first goal again

Why were people blaming Parker for that? :unsure:

It was Milner who miscontrolled

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Bollox.

If you look at it, and I haven't, you'll see Parker was clearly at fault.

[Cripps_orig]

2nd half pretty good

[Cripps_orig]

Bollox.

If you look at it, and I haven't, you'll see Parker was clearly at fault.

A good point well made

[Cripps_orig]

Question

Did Campbell even touch the ball when he came on?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Question

Did Campbell even touch the ball when he came on?

Probably not but it is consistent with how much football he has played in the last couple of years.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben's deflected strike worthy of winning any match.

Tyldesley. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

First half shit

2nd half pretty good

So basically same old same old.

[Cripps_orig]

So basically same old same old.Well no

If it was same old same old then id have said first half shit, 2nd half just as shit

Well no

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wrighty on Scotty.
SCOTT PARKER AS CAPTAIN

THE Spurs midfielder deserved to lead England out last night, of that there is no doubt.

Parker produced the display we expected; he blocked everything, broke play up, battled and ran and ran.

I've no problem with him as captain but I can understand Steven Gerrard being surprised. He did nothing wrong but, all of a sudden, lost the armband.

:lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I thought Stevie G got screwed over too, by Psycho.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

England midfielder Scott Parker says Steven Gerrard was the first person to congratulate him after he was named captain for Wednesday's defeat by Holland.

Liverpool skipper Gerrard was the favourite to succeed John Terry for the 3-2 friendly loss at Wembley but was overlooked by caretaker manager Stuart Pearce in favour of Tottenham midfielder Parker.
And there were no hard feelings according to the latter, who told Sky Sports: "Steve was fine. He was the ultra-professional he is.

"He was the first person to come up to me and congratulate me and said he'd support me. That was pleasing.

"You wouldn't expect anything else from such a great player."

Chance

Should the Football Association appoint a permanent successor to Fabio Capello before this summer's European Championship, the new man must decide who he wants to be England captain in Poland and Ukraine.

Asked if he would like to keep the armband, Parker said: "Of course I would.

"I also understand there's a many a player - no-one more than Steven Gerrard and a couple of others - who've obviously been there before and done it.

"It's going to be difficult for me but I would obviously relish the chance to lead the country out again and take it into the Euros.

"Whether that's me or it's not me, I know I'll be fully behind whoever it may be, determined to make England succeed."

Parker added of his first experience as skipper: "It was pretty special, really, a very proud moment for me and something as a kid I dreamed of many a time.

"I could probably speak for every boy and every young lad who has the same ambition.

"I never thought it would happen to me, so absolutely delighted to lead out my country."

The midfielder's first game wearing the armband ultimately ended in a last-gasp defeat after England had looked to have salvaged a 2-2 draw.

Positive

He said: "We're not sitting there thinking that with the way we performed, through maybe just sheer grit and determination and courage, that we're going to go and win a tournament.

"We understand we need to work on things, we need to get technically better. But we all need to be positive and we all need to realise that tonight gives us great hope.

"Coming back from 2-0 down is massive. It was edgy there and we proved that we can do it."

[McNamara That Ghost...]

With Euro 2012 warm-up matches coming up it's not worth having it over two sections so we'll loan this thread to the Euro section.

[Master Splinter]

Will it be a Benayoun-quality loan deal?

Or a Wellington?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norway vs England is one of the televised games.

Wellington, definitely.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Martin Kelly will be called up for the Norway friendly.

Micah :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Woy was reading my posts. :bow:

Although defensively, he is better than all of England's right-back's.

Dont see the point in the teams not in the Euro's playing friendlies, why are America playing Scotland for instance? Give em the summer off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Warm-ups for World Cup qualifiers in the USA's case. Other countries probably have to fulfill FIFA criteria I guess.

[Syn]

Ryo made his debut for Japan. Did very well apparently - sold 7 shirts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goal-line technology will be tested in England's game against Belgium. By tested it means look at the data, not have a video review or something but even so...

:popcorn:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What's the betting it "breaks down" or "gets it wrong" so UEFA and FIFA can say "a-ha!"?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HawkEye. :bow:

About time tbf.

[GP]

Awesome.

That'll come in handy about twice a year.

Unless hotspot and the snickometer follow soon, I'm not interested. This should be merely the beginning, not the end. Things should never be the same again.

I want to support England but utter dross like that in favour of Arsenal players makes it pretty tough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Switzerland 5-3 Germany, FT.

:rose:

What has LDG done to them?

[Marc Overmars]

Theo. :lol:

Oxlade. :lol:

Might as well not bother with the summer jolly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV1's programme starts in a minute.

Portugal 0-0 Macedonia, FT. Portugal are really dull.

Spain 2-0 Serbia, FT.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Master of tactics and organisation :lol:

4-4-2, copy and paste.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southgate, Roy Keane and Gremlin from Planet Earth Live are in the studio.

[Syn]

Looks like a conservative 4-5-1. Sounds fair enough. We must follow the Chelsea model of the pub fluke.

[Marc Overmars]

Going for a 1-2 victory here. Youngy and English Dids with the goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looks like a conservative 4-5-1. Sounds fair enough. We must follow the Chelsea model of the pub fluke.

Against Norway though? FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP starts for the Netherlands. As does Krul. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chiles. :haha:

"I've got something similar prepared for Danish heroes".

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Gerrard: "his English is very good".

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woy the hard man. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Woy shouting on the training pitch. :bow:

It's impossible to dislike this man.

Hope England do well, just for his sake really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carroll making a fool of Big Man. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Green. :haha:

What a keeper.

[Syn]

I've been out voted and shall by watching Eurovision. And I'm not that bothered because oxlade will get about 10 mins at the end to mark ambrossini.

[Master Splinter]

"Staking his place for a starting point."

Southers :bow:.

I genuinely think that team would be fighting relegation in the Barclays Premier League. Truly awful. When Milner is your best bet for keeping some semblance of possession, it's beyond dire. When Norway string some basic passing moves together, Taaaaaansend will be mystified.

Yet, the greatest absurdity of all is that Robert Green is starting for an international team.

Still, Lord Parker and his understudy, Private Phil Jones, should guide us through with their iron will, brave barges, intrepid charges and peerless passion.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carrol heads wide. ITV's commentary is ahead of the action.

[Cripps_orig]

Carroll clears one for Norway

Decent defending there

[Rors]

Yep, they've brought THAT Andy Carroll along.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner. :haha:

Fucking awful.

[Cripps_orig]

Milner has played 1 minute of competitive football in 2 months

Woy :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass Scotty.

[Rors]

[Cripps_orig]
