Ant-Shimmin Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 We still have the most Moronic Support ever like...
Mr-Paul Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I hate how people think we should be the best in the world. I find it amazing we consistently are in the top 10 in the FIFA rankings. We should be somewhere in the twenties at the moment in my opinion.

Mr-Paul Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Judging by the quality in your team you should be up high... We may have quality players, but they do not play well for england. Rooney hardly ever scores, Lampard just passes backwards and balsts it over the bar, Joe Cole, as I think fresh put it, tries to be Ronaldinho too much. If the quality of the team was based on the amount of world class players in the team, Chelsea probably would have won the premiership every time since 2003 (God that would be horrible). However, it isnt like that, and England are, in my opinion, an average team who play negative football under a bad manager in Steve McLaren. Also, we'll never win anything with Paul Robinson in goal...

Also, we'll never win anything with Paul Robinson in goal... Yeah, that's what I was going to say but couldn't word it properly. You really do needa better keeper, both James and Robinson are average at best. Also, Dyer really is dire. Why is he even in the squad, let alone playing? Owen peaked about 10 years ago. Beckham can't do anything other than take free-kicks...

He truly is the worst player playing for england at the moment, I don't know why McLaren even persists with him. Owen is a good player, he just is way too injury prone. He should have never left Liverpool imo, he's gone downhill since then really.
Fresh Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Give it time untill Foster is at his prime then we may have a chance.
Roostophe Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Give it time untill Foster is at his prime then we may have a chance. Until then, let Scott Carson go between the sticks...
Mr-Paul Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Give it time untill Foster is at his prime then we may have a chance. Yeah, Foster looks like he has potential. Might be a while though, as keepers tend to peak late. Might be ready for World Cup 2010 (if we qualify), more likely to be ready by 2012 imo.
Fresh Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Watch this: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Ben+Foster/video/x2i396_ben-foster-future-n01-english-gk_sport While he makes some stupid mistakes he sure as hell makes up for them.

Some great saves there, I'm looking forward to him getting the England jersey now. Is he back at Man Utd now, or has he been loaned back out? I can't remember.
Mr-Paul Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Aah right. If he wasnt, he might have got a chance this weekend against spurs, cos Van der Saar is injured aswell. Crikey, who's going in goal for Man U then? Spurs better not win. Man U, I actually hope you win for once, just because it's spurs.
Mr-Paul Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Ah yeah, I forgot Man U had him. I thought maybe it'd be some under 19 keeper, or even that John O'Shea would end up in goal! He seems to play everywhere doesnt he. Ah well, atleast it is a keeper who has played in the premiership, hopefully he'll do you well. Damn, just went on the Arsenal website and found out that Lehmann is injured for two weeks. yes, it may do him good to have a break, but i'd prefer him to Almunia in goal. http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=News&article=480584&lid=NewsHeadline&Title=Keeper+Lehmann+out+injured+for+%27at+least+two+weeks%27
Ramar Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I really rate Foster, watched him quite a few times at his first season for Watford. Quality keeper, definitely one for the future. As for England, we've got individuals, what we need is a team. Damn, just went on the Arsenal website and found out that Lehmann is injured for two weeks. yes, it may do him good to have a break, but i'd prefer him to Almunia in goal. Manuel is a class act, just doesn't get enough chances. Brilliant shot stopper and penalty saver. I think Jens' injury is a little suspect, maybe a little break to recover mentally, because he made a few judge mental errors for Germany too. I'll be right behind Almunia on Saturday, even though his head looks like a lightbulb.
conzer16 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 QPR / Burnley game is off today due to a QPR player being killed in a car crash last night. He is named as Ray Jones. Kind of puts football into perspective doesn't it?
Noodleman Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Holy shit we tried to sign him in the summer. He was a good player as well
BlueStar Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I like Foster too, his name reminds me of Frosteys which were the best sweets known to man. 10p from the swimming pool vending machine, memories.
conzer16 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Forest v Leeds is about to kick off. they biggest 3rd tier fixture in history :p 1-2 is my prediction Edit: 0-1 after 17 mins
Roostophe Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 It's sad to hear about that QPR player. It's terrible when that happens. Really terrible. But life goes on... I really hope we win today. And Blues don't. (I can't believe I have never done this before:.) Aston Villa FTW!
harribo Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Forest v Leeds is about to kick off. they biggest 3rd tier fixture in history :p 1-2 is my prediction Edit: 0-1 after 17 mins Wait why is it the biggest?
Roostophe Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Wait why is it the biggest? I think it is because Leeds and Forest were massive clubs back in the 1970's. And now, they're both stuck in League One. A huge fall from grace.
conzer16 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 2 fallen giants. Not so long ago this fixture was in the 1st tier of English football.
Happenstance Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Gotta give credit to Sunderlands keeper today, thought he played really well and made some important stops.
