it's not exactly like it, whatever you say, club and national team are two completely different issues...ranieri was plain stupid, while sven has nothing to prove, he just picked the team freely, precisely because even if the FA still hadn't chosen another manager, he was most definitely leaving anyway..so he just came up with, again, a great team.

Sven is a crazy bastard... i like it. Would of liked to see SWP there though, :(.

Yeah whatever...... you'll be the first to call him a c.u.n.t when we are knocked out. I'll be watching for your reactions to everything that happens from now on fellas.

I hope you are right, i really do......but i wouldn't put money on it.

Man, Sven outdid Scolari's usual callups with this one.

Walcott over proven quality strikers like Defoe, Harewood, Bent is just :|:|:|:|:|

no Pede, id never call anyone in football a C.U.N.T cos thats pathetic, no-one should care that much about a sport.

Like i say Virgo, i am disapointed Bent isnt in the team.

I think Sven hasn't got his act together because he has 4!!!! potential right wingers in his squad and only 1 right back?? I'm not and England fan, and I don't this is gonna be enough to even get to the semis.

I wonder if he's gonna put Green in the goal.


And why doesn't Steven McClaren say something about this, because he has to work on the English squad till EURO 2008.

Its called passion Tom. Something i have in abundance and i wouldn't have it any other way.

As a Nation, I dont give a crap for England. I dislike its mentality, its politics and its over bloated sense of importance in the World. However when it comes to the National football team, thats a different matter. Sure its " only a sport", but to me its THE ONLY sport.

You gotta have passion for something mate otherwise you are just an empty shell.

I can see where he's coming from. Bent and Defoe are pretty similar to Owen. When you make a sub you want something different. Theo is that...something unexpected for the opposition (H)

Carragher can played all across the defence.

And dont be so f*cking stupid.

By the way: WALCOTT INSTEAD OF DEFOE???????
As everybody knows, Defoe is a very good stand in for Rooney just like Peter Crouch. But I think he's playing with the media is he thinks Walcott would do better in Germany then Jermaine.

You're right I forgot about that. But I think 4 right midfielders is too much.

Dont patronise me Pede, again.

I really dont rate Defoe. I just wish Bent was in the backup squad incase Owen is out.

Thats not patronising Tom, thats stating an opinion. If you found it patronising then it was purely accidental.

"When you make a sub you want something different. Theo is that...something unexpected for the opposition "

Stotty , have you ever seen Walcott play? I never have. So not only will the opposition not know what to expect from him, but nor will the entire English race.How do you know for a fact that he has anything to offer at all? What do you base that opinion on?.....serious question mate.

Wenger rates Adebaouyer(SP) over Walcott so what does that say about the kid?

i am a southampton fan and have seen what walcott can do first hand, at the beginning of the season the poor guy had the presure of the hole football club on him and he still put in some mighty good performances, he got the move to Arsenal which i feel he rightly deserved and he has been unlucky that Arsenal took til the last day of the season to secure champions kleague football next season.

Everyone is making out that he is not good enough for the premiership, the fact is wenger didn't want to risk him and there was no where he could slot into the team. doesn't it say something that he has bench for all Arsenal's champions league games since he joined.

i hope that he gets his chance and proves everyone wrong, wasn't pele 17 when he first played in the world cup !!!
 

Tom

seen him play once, and he looked excellent. I just like this from Sven, i dont know why, i just think with Rooney and Owen or one of them, we have such a good chance of winning the world cup. Our midfield is by a long way the best on the planet, i just hope Sven really goes AT teams when we play. Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham and Cole charging against a defence will scare the **** out of anyone.

I haven't seen Walcott play, only brief clips, but i also know that wenger wouldn't pay so much for someone so young. He knows what he's doing with his youngsters. I just think its rather exciting.

We also know that if owen and rooney are fit, it will be owen and rooney all the way, with crouch coming on late on. If owen or rooney aren't fit, defoe will be drafted in.

Shifty....Walcott aint gonna be up against Ipswich or Coventry mate. He will be up against Argentina, Brazil and the rest. Big difference i think.And if it such an honour to sit on the bench, then why does SWP not get a place? At least we all know whar SWP is capable of once he gets his chance.

Remember this about Wenger....All you see are his successes. You never hear about the many young guys that he bought to Arsenal that flopped and were booted out of the door. He is as fallable as anyone.
