General England thread

think was just a bunch of random names taken from football manager in 2007. 5 of them still are on books off top 4 but only Walcott and Richards you can say plays for any of the top teams. 

And in Richards' case, not very often.

Monkeygate has taken a new twist. It now appears that Andros Townsend was upset by the monkey comment made by Hodgson. The player who leaked the comments has confirmed to said journalist that the player was upset by the comment.

I think the commission is a lot better now they've added the last member

to be fair it'll be hard to judge the commission because the media are too busy reporting some racism nonsense rather than using the column inches to actually explain whats its meant to be doing...

 

think part of it is aimed at making sure young players are getting through, not sure how you measure that and how you claim you've improved it, think the disparity between young Asians playing and the number of Asians playing at the highest level is pretty obvious and needs fixing (that's no doubt why they've called up the Asian community expert rio Ferdinand :rolleyes: )

 

the number of coaches needs fixing

 

BUT

 

- the England manager picking form players rather than big names wont be fixed

- players wanting to play every week for mid table teams rather than 1 in 4 for a top 4 team wont be fixed

- capping the number of foreigners in academies let alone 1st teams wont be fixed

- 18 year olds on millions a year and effectively "making it" wont be fixed

- over rating / valuing / paying of English players wont be fixed

- star players not performing in tournaments (rooney in south Africa) wont be fixed

 

there is also a lot of bullshit being said and written by people who come across as being bitter about not getting the invite (stan collymore for example) and unsurprisingly with it being England a lot of people will be waiting to shoot this down

Jay Rodriguez in the England squad.  :lol:

He has been very good for the Saints. We shouldn't laugh at this kind of inclusion because it's the kind that should happen more often, namely getting in on form and merit. It's just a pity Delph didn't get in off the same reasoning.
