We're actually playing fairly well. The midfield three are all neat and tidy players. I would worry about playing all three of them against a world class team though. Im also really not sure why Jones and Townsend have been preferred over theo and clyne.Madness is my only explanation

Kampl is a good player, we were linked a little while ago.

Townsend and Jones as the right flank is going to **** us over
 
It really is a ****ing dirge though. Maybe if we changed that...

I've been campaigning for Land of Hope & Glory for years.
"God save our gracious queen"? :emoticon-0118-yawn:
Is that a suitable anthem for a secular democratic State? I think not.

"Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?" :emoticon-0117-talki
That's more like it.

Jerusalem

I've checked the lyrics and I'm changing my campaign - Jerusalem it is

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

I'm welling up ...

William Blake too. One of history's greatest ever Englishmen.
 
I think Townsend has been picked because he has looked bright when he has come on for England in the last few games but I don't understand the Jones one as he gives us no width and in the opposition half he always passes backward. A decent start but set pieces have been poor and the ref is whistle happy!
