Put Welbeck in place of Sturridge and that is not a bad team. Welbeck is always the better player for England and Sturridge can't be relied on for more than one game (if that).

Fair comment. You have to look at who actually plays well for England, regardless of how you *think* they could or should be playing, and not because of some mysterious potential they have never shown in an England shirt. As in this example: Crouch should have had more caps, Rooney less.

So yes Wellbeck seems to play well for England but Sterling doesn't. It's no use letting him be brilliant against Malta, he has had plenty of opportunities to show what he can do for England against better opposition. And he can't. I don't know if there's any logic to it, as most of these international teams are not as good as the opposition that these England players play against week in week out, but for some reason certain players continually fail and keep getting picked. And this means Hart should be out too.

At this point I'm beyond caring, anyone who'll make it entertaining would be fine by me. That rules in Redknapp, Ranieri, Martin Jol, and Maradona.

Maradona getting the England job could lead to some entertaining moments - mainly the IN-GER-LUUUUUUUUUUUUND headbangers spontaneously combusting the moment he's announced, but that's a good thing.

What we need is someone who is too old to have an affair, to rich to bother with bungs, doesn't talk to the press and doesn't suffer fools gladly.......

Prince Philip anyone?

<laugh> This week we are playing some slanty eyed buggers, jolly well get out there and kick it. Yeah he'd be a great success for about a week. Might be a good way to get rid of the monarchy though. He should be tried at Queens Park Rangers first. Hyde Park or St James?
 
Give it to Pochettino's mentor, Marcelo Bielsa.
He'd have loads of rows, slag off all the lazy and underperforming players and then have a meltdown.
Thoroughly entertaining.

Added bonus that anyone called up from our squad wouldn't have to adjust their game.
Probably true of Liverpool now, too.
That's most of the England team.

You do have to look at who plays well, and Welbeck actually does better for England than Arsenal. But imo, you need to pick on form. Firstly you get a form player, secondly it inspires other people who might actually want to play for England that they'll get their shot if they impress.

The reverse of this is also true.
Don't perform and you'll be out.
Keeps people honest.

His last couple of jobs don't inspire confidence that he'll get on with The FA: he lasted three months at Marseilles before resigning after one league match due to conflicts with their management, then topped that by resigning as Lazio coach two days after he signed with them due to the club breaking promises about player recruitment.

Given his track record of not suffering fools, he'd probably resign as England manager during the press conference where The FA unveil him as England manager.
 
I can't believe the media is touting Wenger, stating he's the best man to manage England. This is the same manager who was the first to ever field a club team without a single English player in the starting line-up and by and large, hasn't fielded that many English players in his Arsenal teams after the legacy players from the George Graham era went.

So he's already shown from his transfer dealings and team selections, he doesn't particularly rate English players, yet the media now wants the same man to manage our national team?

On the other hand The Mirror is saying The FA should go for "One of our own" - which either means they want an English manager, or Lloyd Embley wants to step from behind the editor's desk and into the dugout.
 
You know it'll happen one day, so skip the bollocks and give him the job now
