The thing with the poppy is... If you talk to anyone, read the news, hear people on the street, even look at polls the general gist if that most people think the players/team should just defy FIFA and wear them anyway- but the reality is the reason why Wales/Ireland have backed down is they cant be bothered to face the fines/deal with point losses... they just arent in the position to do so. Losing points over a poppy? At the end of the day its over a poppy. I understand its a mark of respect etc. but there are plenty of other ways to do so. If you want the poppy printed on so much there is no rules against having poppy printed shoe laces? Why don't the players do that? But truth be told not all players even want to wear the poppy for personal reasons and that is fair enough and alot are forced/shamed into wearing one by the poppy police of this country. Its a shame that such a great football game has come down to the poppy. There will be silence before the game and spectators can wear poppys and no doubt every single person on the television will have a poppy on it is just the players on the pitch. If you are a true fan of the game you will simply get over it and mark your respect in other ways. Sorry poppy police but I have said my peace x
8 goals in 11 matches wooooowwww... could be a bad shout from southgate? should be in the squad! does anyone agree? or will vardy shine tonight?
yeah im not sure can get much more out of him now... maybe the odd corker but thats it- need to be looking at whos at the top of their game. cant be holding onto his name forever!
Not a ****ing chance, when I went up there if England weren't playing and Scotland was I would support them. Since being there I am like all of them north of the border when they are playing England, whoever they are playing I support their opposition.
Ffs. Same old same old. Doesn't matter who the manager is they pick the same big names who consistently fail to perform. Where's Austin, Vardy, Drinkwater, Davies, Keane (Michael) who all should be in the team tonight. They'd play with a lot more vigour and passion than this sorry lot. I can already tell it's going to be the usual lethargic sideways passing in our own half with not a hint of tempo or goal threat. I'm really losing interest with the England team, I might not even bother watching tonight.
