English Football Thread 2012/2013

Well thats your opinion but although Fabregas has had a cracking start to the season, I'd rather go for the one who showed his class over a whole season last time round. As for Madman you don't know what you're on about. Luke Chadwick was better than Pele but he was just so bad looking the ball burst every time it came to him

I'm not basing on the first few games of this season, I'm basing it on his 3 years at Arsenal

I still wouldn't take him over Scholes though, Scholes is so integral for united even though he has stopped getting forward a bit more recently you'll usually find him at the centre of any moves we make. Oh and Scholes in the champions league last year=immense,even in that 2nd leg v Milan. He just was on his own sadly. In the long term i'd take him over Scholes obviously but for a 1 off game now not for me and thats just my opinion

 

[PhilD123]

Yeah I'd rather have Scholesy to be honest, Fabregas looks like becoming a fantastic player, but Scholes has been that for the past 10 years. He's got so much vision, I mean look at the pass to Rooney in the 1st leg of CL semi against Milan, an eye for a goal, Blackburn at home last year, a belter of a shot from range. He can certainly head, the only thing he can't do is tackle really.

 

[BigCrickNan]

And control his anger...

 

[Leicester Fox]

He only failed to do that once really last year, Milan late on didn't count because we were out I went to the England game today and we were pretty good, Gerrard didn't look completely fit and they gave us a battle in the centre of the park but when we got the ball out wide we were too good. I won £70 too as i bet on 3-0 England! Well my stepdad did it but i chose the bet Chang Heskey for Rooney and depending on how well he comes back Nev for Richards and we've got a quality side. Hargreaves for Barry too just about but he was quite good.

 

[BigCrickNan]

If i was Richards and i got dropped now i'd be extremely annoyed.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I know he was pretty amazing going forward but he did get caught out of position defensively a fair bit and he wasn't too aware of where the rest of his back line was. He was good though but Neville at the same time hasn't done anything wrong, in fact I doubt you can count the number of bad games he's had for England on more than 1 hand.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Thought you were talking about Phil, as he came on today. Where was his fellow inbred brother?

 

[Leicester Fox]

If you had to have a name to have inbred kids it would be Neville Neville Gary is injured and has been for ages. Didn't play V milan iirc possibly even Roma, I can't think that far back

 

[PhilD123]

Well, I haven't had any bad games for England either.

Yeah your right, he got injured against Bolton or Blackburn in March. I say Bolton or Blackburn. Nev got injured in one while Vida got injured in another, can't remember which.

Yeah it was a good performance today, but it'll be useless if we don't beat Russia on Wednesday.

Make the changes that Joe said and that'll do nicely when everybody's fit.

 

[Hooper]

Is his face a tad to boney? Losin' weight? Gettin' old? Or is he fine?

 

[Will_NA]

this is bullpoo!

why are sky not showing the north london derby!?

 

[evertonfan]

Just wanted to say this about England;

The victory against Israel was the best England have played for a hell of a long time and it's because FINALLY, McLaren separated Lamps and Stevie Gee Laa. I guarantee you that even though Barry played fantastically on Saturday and probably will do again tomorrow, that clueless ginger fart will bring Lampard straight back into the team. Same goes to SWP; Insanely better than Beckham, yet goldenballs will be brought straight back into the team at his expense.

Green
Neville G
Terry
Ferdinand
Richards/Cole A
Barry
Gerrard
SWP
Cole J
Owen
Rooney

That's England's best squad that they can possibly field. Obviously Carra would be in there as he's the second best CD in the Prem, but he's retired.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Is it on setanta? If you want another way of watching i might be able to tell you on MSN

 

[Will_NA]

Yes please

and don't say MOTD!
