A bit of non Spurs banter to keep us focused . Do you think that Woy hodgson is trying to build his failed liverpool management in the England side . Gerrard , good but injury prone and slowing down , Downing , championship quality at the most , no goals and no assists says it all . Carroll , could do it but what a risk . We know how we will play , quick boys hack it forward and lets hope . Johnson , the most overated player in the squad , cant head , cant defend , Richards must be devastated . Kelly , could be anything , but not good enough for England . Another smack in the eye for Richards . And potentially Henderson , my god its a nightmare . Still at least we can sit back and wait for the FA to come out and say , once again we chose the right man and we are planning long term .
Any thoughts ,
Davo
{Ed008's Note - Good point, this confuses me if England are worried about Richards defending why not have Gary Neville help work on it he's a coach and that's what he's there for. Without a doubt Richards is Englands best RB Walker still needs to learn just had to let that out.

Debateable that Richards is England's best. He's been inconsistent this season and lost his place for city. When he's at his best he is awe-inspiring, but that's not too often. Would rather walker

Agree0 Disagree1

Agree with you about Walker , without doubt the best right back . But Richards and Walker are so far ahead of the rest !
Davo

Agree1 Disagree3

Why pick on someone's affliction of a speech impedament, its disgusting.
Gerrard would be in the squad whoever was managing, carroll is the best of a bad bunch, we do not have alot of good strikers available at the moment, I agree with G.Johnson and M.Kelly very strange in my opinion, god knows why henderson is on stand by would be the worst player to ever play for england and that includes ricketts. But I think downing is a good player and being naturally left footed although will not start is a good option as a sub and has a decent shot on him. If walker was fit he would be the first choice RB.

My England XI to start against France.
Joe Hart.
P.Jones, J Terry, P.Jagilka, A.Cole

T.Walcot, S.Parker, S.Gerrard, A.Johnson

A.Young
A.Carroll {Ed001's Note - I must be missing something, none of you rate Kelly because you haven't watched him, clearly! The lad is top class, Johnson is not fit to lace his boots and Jones is a terrible right back!}

Agree1 Disagree2

None of us rate kelly because walker and richards are clearly better! walker obviously is inured, but richards should have gone, even though I think he's inconsistent he's better than johnson, jones and kelly

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed001 - I never said I didn't rate him, just that its a strange decision to take an untested player at international level to a major comp. Being in mind he has only played a handful of prem games as well. I know untested players have been taken in the past but I think its more dangerous in defence.

THFC4EVER {Ed001's Note - sorry, that was addressed to Davo who claimed he wasn't good enough mate. He is a top top class player, it is purely injuries that have stopped him making lots more appearances. I would question why take the injury prone and, quite simply, not good enough Johnson?}

Agree0 Disagree0

What , do you want me to say sorry ?? I tried sending that post , whilst travelling very fast on a train heading to Glasgow . I am sorry to have pressed the w instead of the r , practically next to each other Der !!
If I wanted to insult the England manager , then I would do a lot worse than take the mickey out of his speech , believe me there is other things !! As for Downing , how much football have you watched in the last year , no goals , no assists , even the scousers want rid so thats saying something isnt it . The bloke has had chance after chance in an England shirt and has never delivered . When Hodgson took over I thought yep , give him a chance , new manager , new players ! But no its fabio in disguise ! Same old golden generation , and mixture of bad players , some who wouldnt even get in the Scottish team . ( oops sorry Scotland , in even more trouble now ) . Still like Roy and Cahill have said , if we have to play ugly and park the bus to win , well thats life aint it . With that attitude , then England will never be the force they were . Strange , if you look at all the skillfull players that all the top teams are looking at how many are English ??? Because , apart from the odd few , there arent any , and why arent there any , because of our attitude to the non skill side of football . Hit the ball long and hope for a knock on . Everybody from everywhere knows what to expect from England .
Davo

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed 001 - I also never said I didnt rate Kelly , said he could be anything . No havent watched him either so I hold my hands up . Still not better than Richards , my opinion !
Davo {Ed001's Note - I would agree that Richards is the best English right back, he offers the best combination of defensive ability and attacking threat. But he does have attitude issues, which have seen him lose his place in the City team towards the end of the season. Walker is obviously injured, Johnson is simply not good enough defensively and has a lazy mindset, it is like he just can't be bothered most of the time. It doesn't leave a lot of options, Kelly is a fantastic right back and centre back, he fully deserves to be in the team.}

PSG are launching a stunning summer bid for Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.

Sport says PSG's Qatari owners have put 150 million aside to cover both a fee and wages for Rooney when the summer market opens later this week.

PSG's chiefs are throwing everything at signing Rooney after being frustrated over enquiries for Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.

They feel PSG need to find a player of Messi or Rooney's standing to convince other stars to make the move to Paris in the coming seasons.

With Saha now being released and Ade going back to s**tty I hope Levy is going to quickly tie up some strikers? Otherwise next season will be very disappointing if all we have in the way of strikers is JD and Kane (unless he's re-loaned).

Heskey {Ed008's Note - Now that's who he would should go all out for top class striker on his day...
