England v Ukraine

[The Fifth Column]

The problem with England is that the players and overall team have disengaged with the fans, so much so that people simply don't feel any connection with this bunch of surly aloof knobheads. Gerrard is a prime example, he comes across as a miserable dour sourpuss in every interview I've ever seen. Compare that with the Olympics/Paralympics that have just passed and the difference is in in stark contrast,the athletes smiled, cried and showed real emotion and passion plus they actually f***ing won something! They also showed in their interviews they were real ordinary people just like ourselves albeit people that had trained and worked hard for their success. I for one can't see or feel any connection with any of our footballers and the fact that they actually haven't won stuff all in my lifetime leaves me bereft of any real support for them. The Albion is my football, England can go f*** themselves.

Glenn Johnson = no pace

Anybody who still thinks England can compete at international level and sustain a winning mentality is frankly insane.

For the first time in my life I am wanting an opposition team to score more goals and maybe the FA will take a look at how far behind we are.

 

[Questions]

Unlucky, no way, shite.

Game was crying out for someone with technical ability, should have thrown on Lallana, all three that came on had no cunning, just raw pace players.

 

[pasty]

Is there anyway Andy Townsend can be sent to Mars?

I'll chip in for the ticket provided it's one-way only

 

[Working class pride]

England couldnt pass the Dutchie on the left hand side.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Both Sturridge and Welbeck have played many times recently for their respective clubs. However I agree with you about the other two. The refs having a shocker.

Man Utd would start Rooney and RVP, Di Matteo has little time for Sturridge. They're reserve players, coming to a midtable team near you soon.

No way is Lallana international quality. It shows how bad the England team is that he is anywhere near it.

 

[Blackadder]

We are huffing and puffing but the quality is just not there tonight.

Oh hang on..pen

[LamieRobertson]

Oolong penalty...now who's gonna take it

 

[Questions]

What a save. Especially as he didn't touch it.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Very Good.

 

[Blackadder]

Phew!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Well done frank....draw seems fair

 

[pasty]

Now THAT is how to take a penalty. Well done Frank.

 

[OSRGull]

Come on lads

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Fat Frank has balls that is for sure.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lampard, there's another one.

Wonder how many English players would b in our starting lineup if we got promoted
