He's being played as a bowling ball, run head-first at the defender and knock him down like a skittle. Trouble is, Theo's a weed so the tactic is flawed.

He's no BSP that's for sure.

Carroll is out

Sterling in? :whistle:

Now Cashley has pulled out with an ankle injury.

:rolleyes:

I thought they had just had a pay-day, is this another friendly cash-spinner or a tournament cash-spinner? I suppose that parody of the Word Cup is coming up so they need the same teams to go through the motions of qualifying. Where is it being held this time? The Green Zone in Iraq? Auschwitz?

Actual qualifiers this time. Looking forward to seeing the Ukrainian Messi again though. :lol:

Oxocube press conference is on soon. :lol:

Well, after Defoe shuts up.

IMO Oxlade is just going to go out there and play his game. He's just going to run at defenders and enjoy himself.

Here he is. :bow:

Ox considers himself a flair player. :lol:

I wouldn't say so tbf.

Oxo loves Cazorla. Can't blame him tbh.

lampards gonna be 36 when rio 2014 starts.

whats the point in picking him for england? give the youth a chance so they get accustomed to the national team otherwise they'll have no experience at the finals.

these managers do my head in.

If players are still good enough then they should be in regardless of age so i have nothing against Lump of Lard wanting on to play until 2014

Problem is, hes a bit shit yet he is picked

Hodgson :haha: :haha:

Terrible.

Yep lets take a 36 year old lampard to Brazil when its clear he will be out of his depth Gerrad too. We should be playing youth changing things up and he said he would. turning into the same old same old england tbh, just diffrent head coach.

I'd be surprised if Gerrard can still walk come 2016.

Gerrard was undoubtedly a terrific player, but I don't really see the point in him any more. He doesn't have the same running power that he used to, and he's far less effective for it.

:faint:

Gerrard is an utter prick and typifies scousers apart from some of the gooduns I know, and SiB. He is a ****. I hate him and he denied Oxlade's transfer value from doubling by stealing that shot away in the Euros. He also had a go at Theo's selection in WC 06. Hope he has to suffer the indignity of spending a season on the bench while shit like Shelvey are on the pitch.

Shucks.

But yes, Shelveysingh does seem to be the natural successor to Gerrard.

Adam Johnson pulls out with injury. :rolleyes:

Didnt mind Gerrard so much back in the day but he hasnt had a good game for over 6 years and then he does what he does to Ox.

No room for GHELkinson. :dance:

Rio :lol:

Apparently Roy was telling people on the tube his England career was effectively over, before he had even told him :lol:

:lol:

Although he'd be dimmer than I thought if he didn't realise that already.

England are lacking a bit of quality with the CBs. And CMs. And wingers. And the strikers. But apart from that we're fantastic.

Best GK in the world...

Gibbs. :bow:

Three left backs :bow:

Nice to see he got a call up at last.

Rio time to call it a day fella.

Wonder if Theo is upset he is not playing as a striker for roy.

Wonder what the San Marino score will be? +1's galore up for grabs.

12-0 tbh.
