England National Team Discussion
The Palace Fan replied to carefreeluke's topic in International Competitions
Gareth Southgate has said Wilfried Zaha didn't have the passion to play for England. I'm sorry but what planet is that spanner on. What's Zaha meant to think when he constantly gets ignored for players like Lingard and Townsend. Id argue that he showed more passion in creating that goal for himself against Russia the other night than any of those fuckwits did against Russia in Euro 2016 and similarly shitter opposition in Iceland and Slovenia. I can't say id use passion as a word to describe our performances since either. England have lost out on a player who can add something different to our squad because of an unhealthy FA obsession of picking players from a top six club. -
You lucky fucker! I saw the Taylor/Wright match. I thought Wright was going to knick a draw with the way it was finishing.

The face of the WOS brand on ITV looks like it's going to be Nick Aldis. Probably the best name they could have hoped for alongside Drew Galloway given Stu Bennett is focused on acting. Interestingly WWE are plugging their United Kingdom tour with the stars from The UK Tournament more.

It's inevitable it will happen at some point. The cryptic tweets were always going to happen after the year they've had. I just hope it's after they've had a decent length feud with The Young Bucks. --- Playing WWE2K17 today. My God the fucking glitches on this game are embarrassing.

Reigns / Lesnar again. God that doesn't get me enthusiastic at all. World Of Sport is returning to ITV on Saturday evening for a ten part series. It's being produced by Impact Wrestling's Jeff Jarrett. Really hope it's successful. LU under the AAA umbrella shows it can be done. There's so much British talent at the moment it's impossible for WWE to hoover it all up. I imagine with his Impact return that Magnus will be the focus of the shows.

I'm tempted to put up a 'kitchens for sale' thread and just put a link to this forum.

People that drive in London. Nobody gives way, it's always your fault if you brake suddenly, someone will bib you if you don't set off as soon as that light turns amber, and so much traffic is started because people try to cut in queues. The sad thing is you don't notice it until you drive out of London and you see people giving way, apologising for mistakes, abiding by the highway code and driving in a patient manner how civilsation should actually work. God I hate London. Damn you inflating house prices for keeping me here

Scott Dann picked the wrong season to lose all confidence. -
Roman Reigns beating Undertaker may be the best thing to happen in the long run. The fans would be livid and that would run in to the Lesnar/Goldberg four minute match. A crowd booing the biggest two WrestleMania matches may be enough to make the decision makers recognise that people don't like the part timers being the focus of attention at the biggest and being felt like we would have to eventually accept Roman Reigns as the face of the company. It's the only way I can see change happening. They're not going to care if they keep breaking record figures every year. It will be there justification to bring back historic faces to hold back the present talent next year. The company looked to be getting it right after the last two WrestleMania's with Rollins winning the title and Shane ushering in a new era. They've got both of them wrong in the long run and I can't see anything changing unless something drastic happens at WrestleMania. Vince McMahon is becoming Awsene Wenger.

Videos of Paige gone viral. With the losers of her NXT class like Brad Maddox and Xavier Woods too. Poor girl. Too talented at a young age.

I wouldn't say they were divas. It was a team made up of individuals that completely neglected the type of players you need to make up a team. Michael Carrick or Paul Scholes would have made a massive difference. -

Are Danny Rose and Andy Carroll injured? Surprised we've gone for nine defenders and Theo Walcott has been left out but other than that I don't mind this squad. Given Jack Wilshire fails to start every game for Bournemouth it would have been a pisstake on others if he made the side. It's no really Southgate's fault we're so light up front but i'm happy we've put a clinical finisher in Jermaine Defoe back in the squad. We shouldn't struggle against Lithuania but i'd fancy him to score if he had twenty minutes and we were pressing heavily. -
Just realised I haven't posted a picture of myself in about two years. So here's some stereotypical tourist photos of me in Ireland at the beginning of the month: And here was me at the football museum a couple of months back: Contrary to what these photo suggest I did not attend these places by myself.

Some big news outside of WWE World as we step back out of 2004 and in to 2017... - Theres a court dispute between who owns Matt Hardy's persona between The Hardy Boyz and Impact. This led to a pretty brilliant Twitter rant from Matt's wife which ended with the tweet "and fuck that owl" You can see why TNA want to claim copyright of something that has been brilliant but if Matt has been the sole creator behind his best gimmick it's a pretty dick move. - He's finally done it. Christopher Daniels has won a major world championship. The greatest wrestler of the last three decades that is yet to wrestle in WWE and has put on several five star matches in his career with AJ, Joe, Kazarian etc finally gets the major gold in the company. Good for him. I thought they were heading that way when they split him and Kazarian up via The bullet club but didn't see it ending this quick.

Whilst we're going through an inevitable period of uncertainty at the moment I wouldn't say there's any need to feel that disheartened at present. -
Since living on my own I have enjoyed cooking a lot more than I expected. I often just plough through cook books. At the moment I'm on the third Joe Wicks book. As I'm allergic to nuts I'm having to miss out on a lot of the interesting stuff (why does all the healthy crispy chicken recipes have to be made with almonds) but it's definitely been an interesting and enjoyable learning curve.

I've noticed. Darts around Christmas and early tennis tournaments are what I'm leaving betting too. They're not complex sports to learn about and in general are predictable.

Doctor Strange - 7/10 Its watchable but not really my sort of thing.

Ive found betting on The Premier League a lot more difficult than it should be.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate how mad Weird World must have been when we voted to leave The European Union once he remembered a reason Scottish people voted against independence was because of the EU trade deals. He would take that as England personally fucking with him. -
Can't really disagree with any of that. They had such a good thing going after Wrestle Mania last year when Sami Zayn and The Club debuted. Then you had AJ Styles going after the title and Shane drumming up the new era stuff. It's just sad that since the end of last year they've killed it with an obsession over the past (again).

This thread's dead. Just like our hopes of England ever doing anything in our lifetimes. -
Have last years FA Cup runners up been added? I thought I mentioned it yesterday.

Why couldn't Jericho have just interfered and got Owens disqualified FFS.

They've signed with Ring Of Honor and are having a pretty big feud with The Young Bucks who are being billed as the next Hardy Boyz themselves. I imagine there contracts will run for at least six months.
