Thas nout to do with the prem though, thats to do with england and if he is englands player of the year it does not say much about the england team.Originally Posted by Ach
Its the international thread....
Still, if he is voted Englands best player it says alot about the england team.
Now you see I genuinely can't tell with you.
I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely think he's a good prospect. Haven't seen Liverpool play many games but the couple of recent ones I have seen with Spearing in, he has shown he has ability - is able to play some intelligent passes and carry the ball quickly. Seems to have a decent shot on him too.
He made a mistake in the Man Utd game which cost them - and it's things like that which stick in people's minds and the player is written off. Koscielny was never a bad defender but he made a few errors in high profile games which stuck in people's minds. Wilshere's mistake against Liverpool denied us a win at Anfield at the start of last season. Eventually though, if they're mentally up for it, they'll make it. We need to see more of Spearing but he looks good (at football) from what I've seen.
Not like I used to. The Arsenal is the main focus for me and always will be. However, if the England team could get their shit together for tournament finals and make an effort, I could be convinced to care again.
The years since we were last in a semi-final under Venables have looked like a bunch of players who just did not care and after a few years of that kind of crap, I couldn't be arsed to watch them a lot of the time. And friendlies - that really is a waste of time. No-one on either side ever seems to give a shit about the result so I usually watch some paint dry for a bit of excitement when the matches are on.
I dont think its a lack of success, or even near success in Englands case. I think the loss of interest in international footie is down to 2 main reasons.
1) The emergence and over bearing presence of the premiership and sky
2) The lack of heroes within the team/set up.
Would I even if i followed England shout and support a team full of all those wankers I throw abuse at every weekend? Could I genuinely live with myself if I ever wanted the likes of Terry, Rooney, Cole and Gerrard to do well?
I was at Peterborough not long back when England were playing a qualifier against some back water pub team country and there was a big meeting of England fans there before getting the train down to Wembley and I would say at least 90% were lower league fans. I think he competition bred in the EPL by sky hasnt helped either.
and it seems UEFA agree

Although i am sure Platini will ruin that for everyone
About time. There's absolutley no need for friendlies this week.
After the season ends, there is still 2-3 weeks before the Euros, so that is the window to play them.
Alwsome news tbh, no one cares about them this time of the year.
