...and rightly so too. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12016_6745789,00.html Postman Pat apparently didn't have the energy or inclination to bother coming up to the North East to see Bent play?! Either Bruce has been mis-quoted or hasn't made his point clearly enough. My interpretation is that the joker in charge of our national team only bothered to watch us play away from home for most of last season, remember - the one where we bearly won a game? If that's the basis on which he formed opinions of the squad for the world cup then shame on him (though I'm sure his bulging pockets equate to him not giving a damn) Bent improves as a player in 3 weeks? go shovel your **** somewhere else, PP. He's no different in his playing style. It's just now you'll go and watch him play in a comfort zone ie. when he and his team mates are the home side. All the managers told you Bent was a good box player? why were you listening to anyone other than his current manager and your own scouts and coaching staff? besides, what more do you want from your striker? you get a work horse/midfield link for England via Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard. Bent will be where you need him to be - in the box scoring goals. If he didn't play for Sunderland the way you would have liked him to play for England then ask him to play differently for the national team. What a player does for his club doesn't normally influence what role you ask him to play for England anyway. I've been bored of watching England play for years, ever since Bobby Robson left the post. Here's hoping we get a better calibur of manager in the hot seat next year. I for one wont miss the bigot we currently have in charge.
I for one dont think he slammed the prat enough, he should of layed into as he has insulted Nort-East Football all together here. I cant even remember him being at the SOL once. Hes a failure plain and simple. Insults Bent saying hes not good enough and doenst take him to World cup and then when he has a good game for England all of a sudden hes a compleetly different player etc. The quicker we get an Englishmen in charge of England the better.
Agreed. I would have preferred it if Bruce had been a bit harsher but he's the diplomatic sort is our Brucie and like your name says.... Personally, and to the detriment of any English players in our squad, i would have outright refused to allow any of our players to be called up while ol' cock-nose remains in charge...not that anyone will 'cos he never comes to watch us at home!
capello boils my piss no end. ****e international manager, head up his own arse, only picks fashionable players. bent is in no way playing better for villa than he was for us, how he can possibly think he's become a new player within three weeks i don't know, totally bizarre. least we're all in it together up here, the fa wanted to ban nile ranger because he pulled out of the U20s match, but then realised they'd have to ban smalling as well, and bottled it. capello and the fa are ****s, and i don't give a single, tiny **** about the national team.
I love having this censor on posts. Makes for hilarious reading. I've heard Ranger is quite the tearaway - turning up late for training if he botehrs turning up at all. next thing he'll be out beating up girls and haring round the streets in his drop-top-fancy-rollerskate. Ah the life of a skunk.
@Billy Bent, Capello or Ranger? I know Ranger has a smilie face on the inside of his lip, the tit! apparently Bent got one to "ease his WC rejection pain" (probably the Villa badge, judas scrotum) I dont know if Capello has any tattoos but he'd probably get an image of a mini David Bernstein sans pants on his bum if he had to choose.
yeah, the ranger one, it just screams reprobate. bent's tattoos make me laugh, he's just a wannabee chav, see his twitter "yo, what's up bruv??" you're from cambridge you sad twat!! don't think capello could get a tattoo even if he wanted one, he's made of leather!!
What a ****er Capello is. It's ironic with him being Italian, as the geography of Italy is like combining England and Scotland, where the equivalent of a Portsmouth-Inverness game is on every weekend. Thos distances are quite normal. There are 20 teams in the PL, not just the ones in London, Birmingham & Manchester. He's insulting us, and to be honest the Mags as well.

I for one wont miss the bigot we currently have in charge.[/QUOTE] Is the correct answer. Its become very much "club over Country" for along time now...
It's going to be fantastic if Ghana stuff England and Gyan gets a few goals. Crapello is clueless, the world cup prooved that. Darren Bents England career will be over as soon as Rednapp gets the job. At club level Sunderland are on the up Villa are on the way down.
I will be just as biased with rednapp in charge. Personally I think Holloway is the man for the job. He would not pick players on name and would be able to Handle the media. He also plays great passing attacking football and gets the best out of players. Can't see it happening as the best man for the job never gets the job.
Everybody else: "24-goal season Darren Bent, please" Capello: "No, Emile Heskey. Hey! Whats'a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect..." QED
And when he fetched Heskey on when we were 4 -1 down against Germany? I think that was the first time that I really laughed at a football match - tears down my cheeks laughed. Capello is a cute bloke, though - look at the money the F.A. have paid him.
Just goes to show the problems of Sunderland and Newcastle being the only two teams based in Iceland, the country not the shop. How can we expect to have the England manager spends days travelling all the way up here. Anyone else notice when he was getting interviewed a couple of days before the England game, he said he left one match early as he had a restaurant appointment! I nearly flung a full mug of tea at the screen, FFS. But then I have noticed he always leaves matches before the end!! Not good enough in my opinion.
