As poorly a timed International as you could want, but there you are, its here, Spurs players are involved but its looking like only Townsend who may feature...JD no longer counts! I hope to not see Christian Eriksen for the opponents wasting energy there either...hows his back? Seems about right for Bendtner to score a winner here! EDIT: It would seem my wish re. Eriksen is granted.
Begs the question - how many Spurs players are involved Adebayor - I don't think Togo have a game Soldado - not picked Lennon - not picked Eriksen - injured Sandro - not picked Dawson - not picked Walker - injured Rose - not picked Fryers - injured Naughton - not picked (obviously) Capoue - not picked (I assume) Kaboul - not picked Chiriches - injured So.... Chadli Vertonghen Paulinho Bentaleb (Algeria) Is that it? We can make a team out of what's left, depending on injuries.
Not too bad tots, most stay in short haul Europe, us, Belgium, France (you forgot Lloris SD! ), are all at home, as are Algeria for NB. Pauli off to South Africa is far from ideal though.
Chelsea have Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle, Lampard, Ramires, Matic, Luiz, Ivanovic, Azpilcueta, Cahill and Cech.
There's nothing sadder than seeing Danny Rose stood in the background with a "Can I have a game?" look on his face... please log in to view this image
It's quite amusing that Zeki Fryers pulled out of training with the England U21 team due to injury, only to train at the same place as the senior squad! please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Sterling quite rightly looks bemused by Hendersons...how can you put it....advances! ...and Lambert's failed to realise the balls dropped out under his arm, Lallana hasn't. please log in to view this image
I'm not asking you to sign the Ban Tom Cleverly petition as I think it's silly. But the real question is: where's the Ban John Terry petition?
Apparently Eriksen was ruled out by Spurs, but Denmark have overruled this. He may appear after all. Hopefully means he is available for Chelsea.
I wonder how much Levy has charged the FA for the hire of our facility? Does anyone know why England are there, I thought millions had been spent in Burton for all this?
Burton is in Staffordshire. Not much good for the day of a game in London. It would be murder in that traffic.
Wonder if Shaw (or Llanana-banana) for that matter will be so impressed with our facilities they'll fancy joining?
I wonder how many of those players have admired our facilities and thought, "This is much better than our ****hole, isn't it?" Shame most of them wouldn't get anywhere near our team, though. ETA: Ninja'd by Spurm. That'll teach me to open a bunch of tabs and not refresh, I guess. Any realistic yet worthwhile signings from that mob in the summer? I'd take Caulker and Carrick back, for a start. The rest would either be extremely unlikely transfers or not good enough.
