Ireland v England

Any wonder why we have so few England players in our squad. Any team in this country that wants to be successful will have as few as possible. Reeks of mediocrity.
 
Didn't watch or listen to the game thankfully but the one good thing that has come out of it is that Liverpool fans now realise that the 'new Steven Gerrard' is actually a very mediocre midfielder, to go alongside their other very mediocre midfielders
 
The game was poor. For Ireland it was a good work out and a decent game they played well with a team that included 4 players from the Championship starting. It shows Irish football is in the shit more so than English football. We need to rob some of your players that wont get a look in again. We got to rest John Walters and Shane Long for most of the game they will more than likely start against the Scots. Just shows what Ireland is crying out for and thats a striker big time. We wont score many goals until we find 1. So if Partrick Bamford or whoever wants to declare for Ireland it be welcomed.
I think with O Neill Ireland havnt done fuck all. No improvement on Trap they need to freshen it up and give players a chance. If we get beaten by the Scots O Neill will more than likely get the boot.
 
Wouldn't want any of that lot playing for City, absolutely wank.

Non of them could trap a bag of spuds, and a team with Henderson, Milner, Sterling and Llana in the starting eleven is not going to frighten anybody.
 
Just watched the tennis final from Paris and if our football players showed the fitness,courage and mental strength those two men did we might have half a chance.
 
England's downfall a lot to blame on Premier League, I would have to say. Since Premier league became a thing, England's form has durastically went down with the exceptions of 2002-2006. Too many lucrative contracts and TV deals. England were amazing before Premier League even became a thing. 1990 World cup must've been the best I've ever seen England play. English players need to be urged to play in foreign leagues to develop their talent, rather than being paid high wages and being spoon-fed by the English clubs. Every successful team in 2014 World Cup has a lot of players playing in foreign leagues such as Italian/German/Spanish. I do hope Sterling goes foreign and builds his talent.

Secondly, teams like United City Chelsea do absolutely no favours to England's NT. It's teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Southampton who bring up youth. Liverpool are now done with Sterling and now they are aiming to integrate new English talents such as Ojo and Jordan Ibe onto the new team, similar to how they did with Sterling. That's what most clubs need to follow.

So why do you think the Sheik has invested so much money in our academy if we're doing nothing for the youngsters?
 
England haven't played good football since 1998, people always get themselves worked up in the hope we'll play some great stuff again. Apart from that game against Italy in the world cup and a friendly against Argentina we've been boring for well over 15 years
