[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[Icy Gull]

I guess there’s only me and @Sheebo left but I’m English and I support the national team. I don’t just suddenly start my interest when they get to the quarter finals of a big tournament and all my mates are suddenly off to the pub, faces painted. I want us to win qualifiers and friendlies too. I’ve got mates who follow England everywhere, a mate who lost an eye in Turkey following England.

I watched us under Hyypia, Case, Hinshlewood. Hopeless coaches selecting hopeless players. At no point did I post “come on Barnet / Port Vale / Blackpool you can beat this shit”.

I’m sure you’ll get loads of trendy likes, but ultimately devoting yourself to a club cause beyond your own nationality and culture leads to where Newcastle fans were last night, decked in Saudi shirts and cheering on bloodthirsty princes.

Big difference between following the Albion and following England imo. I don’t care that much about England, if they lose it’s annoying but I’m over it in minutes. If Albion lose it ruins my weekend or a few days afterwards if midweek.

My take on England vs Scotland is that I hope England win if Dunk plays, if he doesn’t I’m a Scotland fan for the night purely because Wee Billy plays for them.

I make no apologies for it and I admire the fanatical support you and Sheebo have for England though. I used to be a massive England fan, I’ve seen us win a World Cup but I am so anti Waistcoat man that anything that shortens his tenure is a plus for me

You won’t be surprised to know that if GP got the England job I’d be quite enthusiastic again

That's very childish. Lose an argument and then deny the other person the right to an opinion.

This is the internet. f*** off

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Maguire and Henderson ahahahahahahha

Southgate out!

 

[Bridcutt]

Southgate out!

I have been for years. Terrible manager

I’m with you and still support England but I want Southgate out. It’s embarrassing. He couldn’t manage a tea party.

 

[dazzer6666]

Maguire and Henderson ahahahahahahha

Careful evaluation of current club form obviously

 

[TottonSeagull]

Oh well zero interest in the England game now! Do find international breaks so tedious!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Why to some on hear think he is some sort of palace fan ?

He was born in Watford played more games Aston Villa and Middlesbrough than he did for palace, then managed the later, I’ve never really seen much of a connection other than playing 150 odd games for palace, it’s not like he watches palace on his Saturdays off.

I don’t know any palace fans who hold him up as some sort of palace legend, a good player but that’s about it ?

He blatantly ignores Brighton players.

 

[Triggaaar]

I hope we lose.

Slava Ukraine

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

He blatantly ignores Brighton players.

its not so much that.. he just has his favourite and he’s scared to try anything new.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

That's very childish. Lose an argument and then deny the other person the right to an opinion.

What argument have I lost? All I said was that Maguire and Gayer would start (and they do). I don't need a Palace fan coming on NSC to tell me how to feel about the England manager and to chide others for their opinion.

 

[Springal]

Where is Dunks lack of experience... Dunk has been playing against some of the best attacking players the world has to offer, week in week out,.... rarely getting bested, he has years of experience....

International football and the pressure with it is something else

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Shan't watch unless dunk comes on.

 

[nicko31]

Yeah nice hot day, few beers, was already for Dunk. I’ll get the BBQ on early, wonder if you gets on at all

 

[Solid at the back]

Just seen the team news. What a disgrace, that fraud should have been sacked years and years ago. Genuinely hoped to be able to watch my first England game under Southgate with Dunk being in the squad. Not to be.

Come on Ukraine!

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

International football and the pressure with it is something else

I would argue playing against Newcastle last weekend was way more pressure than playing against Ukraine this afternoon.

picking a player who has bugger all minutes this season, over players who have and at the highest level is just insulting.

A home game against a team that had lost 2 in a row vs a euros qualifier away to a team 90% of the stadium are cheering on as well as everything else that goes with the Ukraine ?

Totally different level I’m afraid

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Well, how do our other International players manage to cope then?

 

[swindonseagull]

Hope Engerland get a good thrashing and Southgate is sacked at full time….

Picking on form players my arse.

 

[BBassic]

What does Dunk have to do to get into this squad?

It's a joke.

A dull, easy lineup from a dull, easy man. Pathetic.
