We only have the bog standard terrestrial telly lol.
Robert Green  With form like that I can see why we're rumoured to be in for him.
He'd fit in well with Coco and Flappy
I hope to heck we buy Lloris or another grade A keeper until Mannone or Voitech (sp) comes of age

Green has been poor at every high level game ive seen him in.  That was worse than Robinsons error.  I think we will be linked with every keeper going till Wenger buys another 16 year old keeper.

Go for that Nigeria keeper Veggie, he was f*cking awesome today Messi, Tevez, Di Maria and Milito gave him everything they got and they only managed to get one past him.


I can see huge bids on him with big clubs when the world cup is over.

LOL Veggie @ Coco and Flappy

Damn this bliddy thread is playing up again. Have to keep posting a dot in order to get to see the latest posts and then delete them
Onetoo - It's what the Gooners call Almunia and Fabianski. I do like them both but they weren't up to the task last season.
Meaty - truth be told I'd settle for Theakston or Kielty after their performances in Soccer Aid!
Capt - we have a couple of good baby keepers I've seen a lot of. James Shea and James Dunn but they are really young. I'd just as soon go with Emma Byrnes, she's awesome .

Sorry if anyone replies to me. I can't see the last post but I know there's a prob with the thread

Edit. Got it back again

Almunia is a good shot stopper and he saves a lot of penalties but he has too many other weaknesses.  Cant believe people would think Green is better than him.  We do need a much better CL quality level keeper though.

That young polish keeper i can never spell or pronounce smrchhrbrb or something is supposed to be good but will be ready in about 10 years as well.  Hopefully Wenger spots one at this WC we always have trouble with work permits and swanning off to the Nations cup with African keepers though, would prefer a European at least

I can never spell him either Capt, Voitchec Sczerney  (sp)!! He was on loan at Brentford for a lot of the season amd did well for a while but also made a couple of howlers
He isn't bad though.

Thats the one

Good pass by Heskey to Howard

Lol
It's good that England are an 'equal opportunity employer' 

This thread buggered again for me, cant see posts unless i post myself

Oooooh, ello you. Fawt you was out watchin it

Well that was disappointing :/ at least its not a loss.

Lol at Gerrard on the radio " We need to get behind Robert Green"
Great thinking Batman, at least if you're behind him you'll get a chance to clear the balls he drops
I'm not too concerned really about our chances of getting through, we are notoriously slow starters.
I'm not a fan of Capello though or some of his selections/tactics/formations but England are England so C'mon the lads

That's my thinking too

I dont like his selections but at least he got us to this competition.  I cant see us getting past Germany if we go through second.

This is the worst England squad ive ever seen IMO and I am not just saying that because of the poor performance.  You have to bear in mind I was at the game when Geoff Thomas did that legendary shot in the Graham Taylor era.

I am not saying anything about SWP...

just seen the goal again on James Cordon's show (btw, he's never on TV these days, where did he go? [sarc]) and absolutely shocking.  His 'great' second half save wasn't so great and didn't redeem him either.

Wise not to



Because he didnt actually have a bad game...

Draw is a disappointment but it places more pressure on England for the Algeria match.


Feel for Green, he made a mistake for the goal although second half with the save reedemed himself so Capello has to think whether to play him next match now.

It's not about redemption, I don't think, he's relatively new and everyone makes mistakes  The squad just needs to back him now

Hi Darlo, I would play him next match. It's a bit like falling off a bike I think. Get back on and start again

i dont think England played to bad they actually were very good in attack imo Heskey shouldnt have been on the pitch he was awful other than his pass that lead to the goal the rest of the team played well other than the mistake that cost us but he did make a great save to keep it at 1-1 .


keep the faith we should win the next 2 games easliy .

As I thought..........Green's mistake, top story on the news

Alright I will then.  He was better than Milner but he couldnt beat a man cross a ball shoot or keep possession but apart from that yea he was brilliant.

And I would have to go through quite a list before I started to single out Heskey for criticism.  He set up a goal and had a couple of good chances which he didnt take as usual but what did Rooney do?

Heskey did exactly what he was picked to do, and he created the goal. Rooney started very slowly and didn't live up to his billing as a world class striker. Gerrard lived up to the captains armband with an inspiring performance but Green played exactly how you'd expect a player from a team who barely avoided relegation i.e. badly. Hart Must Start, and So Should Joe.

Capello should consider making Gerrard captain permanently.

Perhaps if he wasnt played out of position then there wouldnt be a problem

I said in another thread you cant play sweep on the left, give him the ball on the right and he will just lightly step across the player... it was the same when he had that shot, he was on the left side of the pitch using his right foot. It was gonna go straight at the keeper... on the right he would of hit it with power towards the corner.

Well maybe he should have taken a player that can play on both wings then, one of the reasons for my argument against him going.  To be honest Milner was more disappointing he was all of the above, playing in position and in addition couldnt deal with their full back (at least SWP did that) and was on the verge of getting a red.

Yes, I think that too. Soz Darlo and everything but for me he's allways been the 'better' one over Rio. To my mind he'll shout and chivvy up his players more than I've seen Rio do

Heskey had a better game, whats frustrating is how he gets in some great positions to score then wastes the chances and now he needs to keep the standard up.

It depends on who goes over SWP... Johnson should of gone over him I recon, he can play on both sides and can most importantly cross a ball.

England has been screaming for a left footer for years, Fabio finally got one who is young and he didnt take him.

I've reluctantly came to this way of thinking since Rio has his injury problems.

Lol
Top story on sky was...ITV puts ad break on just as England score!!
Schadenfreude is an ugly thing
 
Hi Pam....Bit sh!t tonight the footie eh?!?
 

Yes I said before its baffling why Johnson wasnt looked at.  So can Walcott has done for club on a number of occasions and can be a backup striker too we only have 3 what I would call goal scoring strikers and you only need a red and an injury.. anyway thats done and we have who we have.

You dont have to be left footed to play on the left well Arsenal have had a lot in recent years that were brilliant right footed left wingers.  Its a pity Gibbs was still injured because he played well there for the U21's and Arsenal and is also a very good left back.

They are not going to live that one down, I can feel for the poor bugger that they will surely sack for it and apparently most of the game they didnt even broadcast in HD either presumably petrified it would happen again.

Im afraid you do if your name is Shaun Wright-Phillips, its been proved numerous games he can't play there. Mancini gave it a go at City and it never worked out... stick him on the right and he would produce the goods.

Im a HD viewer, was fuming when that hyundai ad came up... there was alot of replays in the game. Hardly got to see the game because they showed replays about 10x

I've got HD but wasn't watching HD  My Auntie Pam phoned at up at half time and said did you see the goal.....I burst out laffin and said yes  

Actually, I don't think it was too bad...but hey..that's only my opinion  I thought you were goin out?

Hi by the way
