England

It reminds me of the Stamford Bridge pitch from the time before they finally sorted it out. That used to be a swamp at times over the years.

BTW, Clyne is starting to stamp his mark in the England game. Drury and Pleast going on about Southampton providing players for England these days.

 

FA have the excuses already ready. Who are we playing anyhow?

 

Slobodobavvakia

 

Rooney just demonstrating once again that he's just a very good player, not a world beater.

 

The number of times I've looked at missed shots like Rooney's and Sterling's and thought that Saints' players rarely miss as spectacularly...we can at least put them close.

 

Sterling been woeful so far.

 

Oh shut up, David Pleat. Clyne knows exactly what he's doing.

 

F****** hell, Bobby Charlton isn't satisfied with just his own wife. He's got Trevor Brooking's wife on the side.

 

What the **** is Clyne supposed to do with that Henderson?

 

Well yeah, exactly. Still one of England's best players. We don't currently have anyone truly world class.

 

What a twerp Pleat is.

 

Did he scream afterwards? Very odd.

 

No.

 

Henderson did apparently. There was a scream, that was attributed to Henderson, anyhow.

 

Twatbeard getting some rough treatment.

 

Didn't know Cesar was a Saints fan?

 

If he is carrying our hopes for the future then God help us.

 

I agree with Danny Mills:
"I want England to man up a bit, have a go and show some character.
"It's laboured, slow, it's obvious what we're going to do and easy to play against. I hope they change things at half-time. The pitch isn't brilliant but it's no excuse."

 

Fair assessment by Mills there.

 

Nat Clyne hasn't put a foot wrong. The camera left him running into defence, and then England suddenly attacked and there he was right up there making himself an option. He must have sprinted something like 40 yards.
