So....do we care?

Yet again I'm going into an England game simply hoping that no Spurs players are involved (something which should easily be achieved this time) and really not caring much about the result.

We'll still see Terry. We'll still see Lampard. We'll probably still see Gerrard as soon as he's fit. We'll probably see a draw and maybe a win if Rooney's shooting boots are on.

Instead of building towards the future with a youthful team, we are still playing the same tired old losers with a manager who has no long term plan (and no need for one).

If it was me and everyone was fit I'd go for something like:

Hart
Smalling Jones Cahill Gibbs
Wilshere Cleverly Henderson
Johnson Rooney Sturridge

Of course we'll never get that and we'll probably plug away, make the quarter finals of the Euros and then go out to a good team.

*sigh*

Wasn't Parker called up and available for selection? I hope he doesn't play because we know he can easily pick up injuries and we're so fragile in that position atm

That just about sums up my feelings on it. I won't even be bothering to watch that lazy shower of shit put in yet another dull, dispassionately insulting 'performance'.

:lol:

The only game's my wife doesn't bitch about me watching are Spurs and England, so no matter how poor England are, i'll always have it on.

Pretty sure it's on sky.

Right now I feel like a jilted lover. If they want to win me back, they'll have to do something pretty special to get my attention.

Buy me a box of chocolates, some nice flowers, and dump Wilshere into a giant paper shredder. That would be a start.

Shame that you feel that way fellas. I always enjoy watching Denmark's matches and we are usually pretty wank!

The only interest I have in this game is a measly 100 vCash on England to win. Which I'll probably lose.

But they probably give it their best don't they?

I know that England can't win every game. And I know we have limitations. All I ask is that the players play with some passion and commitment.

Sadly most of them just look like they'd rather be doing literally anything else, and consider international football a burden.

I used to go to all the games at the old Wembley during the Keegan era when we were pretty crap but I was still commited.

Nowdays I just don't really care as most of the England Team are ****s...

Anywhoo I like picking teams so I'm going for:

Hart

Smalling Jones Cahill A.Cole

Wilshere Parker Cleverley

Walcott Rooney Young

I'm also not bothered about the game tonight, off out so if I'm in a pub and their showing it I'll have a browse, but if I dont catch it I'm not fussed at all. Just cannot get excited about the England team right now.

Team though (had to look at who was in the squad!):

--------------Hart--------------
Smalling--Jones--Cahill--Cashley
--------Cleverly--Parker---------
Johnson-----Rooney-----A.Young
-------------Carroll-------------

Huddlestone would be a perfect player for international too I reckon.

He's not my favourite player for Spurs and I feel he'd be more suited to chess-like football such as Serie A, but in Eurpean / International Competition he's always been jolly good.

P.S. My * in my earlier post meant that although Cashley is one of the biggest ****'s of all (with a capital c) he has been one of the few consistent players in the England Team and he's one of the best left-backs around. Sadly.

Come on Montenegro! If England don't qualify for the Euros I might actually enjoy it.

so why cheer on the team playing Wales?

and while your probably right with enjoying it more, still want England there.

Montenegro are the team most likely to finish above us aren't they?

It shows how much I care about England that I didn't even know Bulgaria were in our group.

Montenegro are the ones most likely to finish above us out of them. But even then we go into the play offs.

Away to Montenegro will be an interesting game. The line up you posted looked great though. Would love to see it
