England v France

[Mackenzie]

1-0 France

If ever there was an advert for the over bloated, crap standard of English football....the first 18 minutes of this match illustrates it perfectly.

Hopeless.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

How many long balls have we tried so far?
How many have France tried?

Poor start. No football being played by the English so far. Gibbs shouldn't be in the side, he's not played for Arsenal.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Shows a lot that this is the first thread about it, 18 minutes in!

 

[pottert]

this could end up 5 or 6 nil

 

[Mackenzie]

England need Gus!

 

[Bigtomfu]

Every time England serve up the same dross I just find myself getting happier and happier.

I don't support a Premiership team therefore with every passing game/scandal/court case my allegiance drifts further and further away from the XI overpaid fat arsed talentless tossers that seemingly cant even be bothered to sing the national anthem.

Long may it continue so that we can keep watching proper football where it matters.

 

[Driver8]

They are an embarrassment. If this is the future God help us.

 

[Mackenzie]

Its like watching the Harlem Globetrotters against the 'stooges'.....and we ain't Harlem

 

[Mendoza]

being taught a lesson here

we either lump it, or give it someone who puts their head down and runs straight into a french player

 

[Titanic]

We'd better improve and SHARPISH! or we'll get a thorough dicking, Capello will be sacked, Harry Redknapp will get the England gig and Gus will be poached by Spurs just when we are beginning to enjoy ourselves

Midfield;
Milner - Trying, but not doing much.
Barry - Crap.
Gerrard - Doesn't care.
Henderson - Not seen him. Game is passing him by.
Walcott - Lots of running (without the ball), nothing else.

 

[Safe.]

Barry isn't good enough for England, as soon as he plays against a decent cm or am he gets outplayed.

 

[ILIKECANDLES]

We are shit

 

[Ninja Elephant]

On the contrary, I think Henderson is the major plus of the evening. He is a fantastic player.

 

[defrocked priest]

Capello Out !! :furious:

 

[Mackenzie]

What does gladden the heart is that the French are playing the way that Gus is trying to get us to play. Its obviously effective against English teams/tactics.

 

[tonymgc]

I love the way the French pass the ball around & wait patiently to open up their opponents

You really don't know much about football do you?

 

[defrocked priest]

Bit harsh, Gerrard's trying to get the ball to Walcott, nothing wrong with that

 

[Buzzer]

Yawn. There's about 4 England players I've never heard of before tonight and they are crap. I again realise I have no interest in the Premiership.

Have turned over to Sky Arts 2 where there's a really good performance of Wagner's Gotterdammerung. Bliss.
