Not that anyone's arsed but Delph made it in.

Pleased for him, he's worked hard the lad.

[shandon]

What position would he play? 

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Head buffer

[goat]

hart didnt 

[Gareth]

Ok, it's increasingly difficult to make a case supporting Joe Hart in his present incarnation, but I'd still say that while he was City's No. 1 keeper he was up to the job and fully deserved his 2 league medals (any other City keeper got 2?). I'm not saying he was the world's best, just that he was an integral part of that team at that time. Anyone think that Bravo was better? And as for England, I don't think Pickford is any better, Butland is error-prone and Pope (probably the best of the 3) is only second choice for Burnley when Heaton is fit.

[shandon]

Why does Goat hate Hart so much?

[goat]

fuck knows, should ask him

[shandon]

Why do you hate Hart so much? 

[Neil Mcnab]

I remember Mancini was rumoured ready to bin Hart off, but his passport saved him.

Delph is a good player, can play a few positions. He is a good back up.

[nimrod]

Why do you hate Hart so much? 

Because he thinks he is massively overrated....... it doesn't matter anyway as England will be coming home soon

[Swiss]

I've heard the England team are adopting this as their anthem, worked well for the Scots!

[goat]

Why do you hate Hart so much? 

honestly i dont hate him, gandalf the prog had it spot on with him being massively overrated

if hart wasnt english he would be wayne hennessey( i do rate him tho)

[goat]

I remember Mancini was rumoured ready to bin Hart off, but his passport saved him.

according to david platt the arabs saved him

mancini had the bosnian from stoke lined up before he was sacked

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I'm always torn about Hart. One of ours (well... Shrewsbury's), very good shot stopper on his day and saved our bacon in a fair few games during the Mancini / Pellegrini era... but he also cost us as well at times. Poor decision making and (according to rumour) a tendency to ignore 'team orders' because he always thought he knew best - both at City and England. (Drove Fabio Capello mad by all accounts).

It's sad that his career has slid, but if you stop learning and believe there's nothing else anyone can teach you - then others will go past you.

[goat]

and  he killed  nastasic career at city

[Swiss]

Why do you say that?

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

He didn't help him to be fair.

Savic is doing well for himself these days.

[goat]

Why do you say that?

the chelsea game a few years back, nasty was bombed out because of  harts fuck up

[gavin]

We got rid of both Savic and Nastasic too quick. I doubt either is as good with the ball as Laporte though.

[goat]

to be fair savic looked a fucking disaster, nasty was decent

wasnt savic  part of the deal?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Yes, Nasty had some promise. And Goat is right - Hart almost single handed finished Marty's City career.

[Neil Mcnab]

Nasty was a good player, but a sick note. Boateng was not given much of a chance either, played at RB quite a lot cant have helped. It worked out well for him though.

Back to Ingerlund, Southgate was an average manager, cant see him doing anything than the usual shite for the team. Inspiring he aint.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Was looking at the team sheet and it looks like Cahill and Henderson are the two most senior players and heard someone say that Henderson will be the captain.

That's as good a reason as any to hope that England doesn't win it.

Savic had one good Derby match
Liked Nastasic
Boateng, what I remember from him is that he couldn't control a ball to save his life

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Captain Kane.

Atleast he's not a scouser.

You dont have to hope, England are fucked as a footballing nation

[goat]

i blame the eu, they facking made england pick these muslim lesbian dwarves

[gavin]

England has been shit a lot longer than City were.

[nimrod]

Harry Kane team

[Rowley Birkin QC]

i blame the eu, they facking made england pick these muslim lesbian dwarves

Ah, but they know how to control a football with one touch - and they can dribble.

[goat]

soon train that out of them, if they cant run for 90 minutes its off to the gulag

[Swiss]

I enjoyed 96 and 98

[bluebrendan]

I enjoyed 96 and 98

Too many rag twats in those teams for me to enjoy them, the Italia 90 team wasn't bad.

[shandon]

What about 66? 

[goat]

he reckons harold was offside when he got arrow in his eye

[nimrod]

Didnt he have an apple on his head ?

[lee]

i wont be watching england..fooking shite..i just hope sterling upsets every cnut and scores a few for those who have given him stick over a tattoo

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Hopefully one of our lads will get their hands on the trophy.

[goat]

sane and guny ( not even sure both are in squad) have best chance

[nimrod]

sane and guny ( not even sure both are in squad) have best chance

Kev & Vinny ?

[Swiss]

Didnt he have an apple on his head ?

Who could Tell...

[goat]

Kev & Vinny ?

probably below aguero and fernandinho and jesus

[nimrod]

[shandon]

Ingerlund have left you speechless? 

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Wasn't much plan B and they were naive as hell.

[Hesperus]

 Beaten by a better side tonight. Have to hold our hands up. Southgates subs were poor, missed out on the best opportunity in decades. That draw we got in this tournament, we won't see the likes of again.

[lee]

thank fook that is over..lets get back to city and proper football

[Swiss]

At least we don't have to suffer being beaten by the French!

[Swiss]

On the whole, I thought England did well this tournament.

There are weaknesses throughout the squad. The main one for me is that there is no Captain.

[goat]

did they actually play anyone?

lost to belgium reserves

[Swiss]

Tbf, England reserves lost to Belgium reserves...

[goat]

That is fair tone

So what next for Southgate, the English Chris Coleman

[Swiss]

But on sat, the England team will probably lose...

[Lekos]

Aye.  Probably a bit more pronounced in the Croatia match:

[Swiss]

Hendo was.so panicked in possession. I hope he stays at LFC a long time!

[gavin]

Whats all this Hendo business?

[Swiss]

That he was poor and a reason why England's midfield didn't hold possession

[Neil Mcnab]

We dont have anyone who can take control of midfield. Southgate has done what he can, little innovations that are sure to be copied. He aint all that as a manager. It should be our turn at some point though, next couple of tournaments if we can find central midfielders?

[shandon]

Hendo was.so panicked in possession. I hope he stays at LFC a long time!

Well he's certainly no Gerrard is he? 

[shandon]

Delph in the starting line-up today.

[Swiss]

Delph has done pretty well today. Especially at LB
