FenwayFrank 2,717 Posted June 14, 2015 I''m going to suggest we buy the Slovenian with the most ridiculous name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firststeps 0 Posted June 14, 2015 Apparently their CB is very good, but know nothing about him or who he plays for. We should be 1-0 up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
True Grit 26 Posted June 14, 2015 Yes. Why the hell isn''t milner starting? Easily the best player to put on an England shirt in the last 10 years. Would love to see him at City. No nonsense, work horse and a darn good player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,757 Posted June 14, 2015 Yep. Put a bit of a money on us to win by more than 1 goal. I''ve been on a bit of a role betting wise recently but I think I may have put an end to that today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted June 14, 2015 Ordinary fare so far. Sterling flatters to deceive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firststeps 0 Posted June 14, 2015 I''m quite enjoying it. I''ve always compared supporting England (second to Norwich) as a similar experience. So much potential potential, with highs and lows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted June 14, 2015 Gibbs wastes too many good opportunities for club and country. Great athlete but not a great player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted June 14, 2015 All too predictable. For all the possession we generated, what, 2 proper opportunities; crossing and corners iffy, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,757 Posted June 14, 2015 My Arsenal supporting mate thinks his positioning is his greatest weakness- as you say a great athlete but lacks a bit of a football brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 8,757 Posted June 14, 2015 Great goal from Wilshere but how bad was that miss by Rooney right there? 8 yards out, sat perfectly, blazed it over the bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 14, 2015 Why have so many people got it in for Rooney? He''s a team player, extremely adaptable, and international goal record is on target to be better than Bobby Charlton''s! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True Grit 26 Posted June 14, 2015 I can sincerely say the only players I would have in the city team on watch from England would be milner, cahill and henderson. The rest are over hyped ego maniacs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223 Posted June 14, 2015 My issue with Rooney is that he has undoubted talent and has scored a lot of goals but the bulk of them are against "lesser" teams, his record in the big game against the major footballing nations is poor...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 14, 2015 According to the BBC their goal-to-game ratios are almost identical.I''m not suggesting one player is better than the other, but surely becoming the highest scoring England player of all time is an achievement to be recognised, rather than slating the guy.Seems to be a fairly typical English trait.

Mr Angry 2,019 Posted June 14, 2015 Charlton scored 22 of his goals in friendlies and 16 in the British Home Championship-5 against Scotland, 5 against Wales and 6 against Northern Ireland.Rooney has only scored 14 in friendlies and if he played Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland once a season he would have demolished Charlton''s record by now.

Guest Posted June 14, 2015 That''s probably a fair criticism SOB, but there aren''t too many gimmies in modern international football. Besides which, you could ask why if it''s that easy to score against the "lesser" teams, it''s only Rooney who''s getting anywhere near to the record in 40 years?Ten there''s the argument that by focusing on goals alone, you miss the rest of his contribution to the team... compare overall contribution to that of someone like Lineker for example?

firststeps 0 Posted June 14, 2015 Having said what I said, he took the winning goal very well with a great assist from Walcott. Who''s up for a holiday to France next June??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
