Slovenia v England thread

The game is on tomorrow, 7:15pm, on ITV 1.

 

To the rest of you PL lads.

Noah warned you. Drown in the floods ye shall.

 

No doubt more of the same slow boring drivel from England's invertebrates.

 

... Gareth is contemplating putting Wayne between the sticks for this one ... his Hollywood goal kicks should more than compensate for a lack of height and agility...

 

England are not worth watching, I'll Probably watch peppa pig as it's more entertaining

 

Did anyone watch the rugby league grand final on Saturday?

What's tomorrow's infinitely superior alternative to watching England then?

 

Tatoo Fixers ...

 

There's always drying paint and, given the mild weather, grass growing.

 

Ben and Holly's little kingdom for me I think.

 

SSN saying Wayne Rooney to be named on the bench against Slovenia tomorrow.

 

... that might at least enable him to get in closer proximity to some of the forwards

 

if it's true, I wonder if his England career will come to a premature end.

 

... double bluffing cnut isn't fooling anyone

Slovenia coach hopes Rooney does not play

Slovenia v England (Tuesday, 19:45 BST)
Posted at14:20
Slovenia coach Srecko Katanec says he would prefer England to not play captain Wayne Rooney for their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
"Wayne Rooney is a leader of this team, he has the experience a captain needs and it is quite hard to substitute him or leave him out," Katanec said.
"Because of his experience and quality I would rather he would not start than he does start."
Rooney is set to start as a substitute for the game.

.. what make you think it's premature Matthew? ... would you still be playing Gerrard or Lampard? ... fact is mate, he's no longer first choice for his club ...

 

Why is a Welsh lad making England match day thread?

 

This, he's a squad player at best in my opinion.

 

I dont think he should be in the England squad now

 

You could say that about quite a few of them, though. Form's irrelevant, apparently.

Southgate appears to have found Hodgson's notes when he was clearing out Allardyce's office.
There's been absolutely no difference, barring the odd selection of Lingard, who he's worked with in the U21s.

Why has Pickford been called up? He'll sit on his arse and learn nothing. He could do that at home.
Why not play him in the U21 side and gain some more experience? I think he's got a decent future, but this doesn't help him.
