  1. Whilst I was happy with the original team selection I'm not sure why Cork and Livermore have been called ahead of Wilshire and Ox. Southgate wouldnt lose any face by picking Wilshire and having a future private chat with him about future game time.
  2. Just setting up my Christmas list. Has the transfer window improved on this game? The fact youd play Man United in five years time and they still had the same starting lienup used to really annoy me.
  3. His hip problem last time. It's a shame we've got such a small pool of talent so we can't get rid of players not concerned with playing.
  4. I'd like to know how many of these 'injuries' are going to be for two weeks. We're producing another generation of shy aways. When Raheem Sterling did it at the start of last season that should have been Southgates moment to make an example of someone. Now this horrible precedent has been set and we've seen the likes of Vardy and Alli follow suit.
  5. I've been very critical of Gareth Southgate thus far but I like the strong message he's sent out with this squad selection. The way Wenger has been hyping up Wilshire yet not playing him himself has been a bit reminiscent of the time when Wallcott got called up in 2006. If he's that great Wenger play him yourself. Also I like that he's given call ups to the likes of Abraham and Loftus Cheek. It sends a clear to the amount of talent being stacked at clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, United etc that if you're able to play football regularly you have a much much better chance of playing for your country. Psychologically this puts a big onus on the likes of Wilshire to break in to that Arsenal first team, and gives an extra incentive for Abraham and Loftus-Cheek to improve.
  6. Given the effect a pacey Gray had on Leicester City I hope they consider Ademola Lookman a chance. A lack of first team opportunity now could really stifle his development.

    Walking Dead

    I've enjoyed the first two episodes. It's just annoying that every series there's only about 3 or 4 fast paced episodes and the others you can skip without watching because a lot of nothing happens.

    He was finally becoming a man in that episode and now Negan is going to end him.

    Bayley? Really?

    It's worth watching the PPVs these days in all honesty. Shane had his hell in a cell moment recently and they built up Brawn to a level where he saved Summerslam. I wouldn't watch Raw regularly though.

    How are you finding the product these days? Feels like to me they've pulled their finger out a bit, and if what Cody has said about his wage packet these days is true, it will hopefully start a movement where they'll have to balance politics with entertainment a little better to keep talent.

    allwrestling.org is where I usually go. I would give you my network pass but as you don't live in the UK that sounds like an inevitable lifetime ban awaiting. Well worth watching tonight with Kurt and AJ showing up. God bless meningitis.
  13. At least your sponser doesn't sound like a site that's trying to sell kidnapped men.
  14. Pape Souare has been voted player of the month. Made sense to give it to someone who hasn't played a league game this season.

    Sorry to hear that mate. My grandfather was somewhat of a father figure to me growing up so I understand what you're going through. Stay strong for your family.

    How does that even happen?
  17. Great news that. Hes got nothing left to prove for when you play us.
  18. His World Cup place for Chile would have been a guarantee. Infact a poor season for Arsenal but a great World Cup would still improve his stock. Without the World Cup as a fall back option id argue we would now see a more focused Alexis that will benefit Arsenal until his futures decided.
  19. Aidy Hoofroyd has told our under 21 squad to stop showboating. What i'd do to see one of the first team players show us a bit of excitement and skill against the mighty likes of Malta and Lithuania. How did these coaches get these jobs.
  20. It was such poor zonal marking I cannot force myself to vote for it.
  21. I'd argue there is no pressure or expectation. Not anywhere near what it once was anyway. We don't ask for much. We'd just like to beat teams like Scotland and Iceland.
  22. Gareth Southgates comments about why he called Harry Winks are another one to add to the collection of frustrating comments. "Its so he can get used to how we train. Oh Yes, because there's some secret, brilliant way that England train their players that the Tottenham coaches don't know about.
  23. I can't get over Gareth Southgate admitted he's picked people that don't deserve to be in the squad. Is he suggesting there is less than 23 people in the whole country deserving to play for England? It's not like our under 20s won a national tournament or anything. He emphasises everything that's wrong with the FA. A complete an utter yes man willing to do anything that's suggested from above. He should be banished from football after EPPP and the under 21s performances two years ago. Never mind in what was one of the most sought over jobs in football less than ten years ago. A year ago he said he picks players on form. Well what form has Lingaard shown with his zero starts this season? Sends a terrible message to all players outside the top six and shows why nobody should trust what this snow flake of a man says.
