Re: Euro 2012
I don't really see any cause to change tactics for the Italy game, although England will have to close down and harry better than they have so far, Italy will punish them if they give them as much ball as Ukraine had in the first half hour.
Gotta say I really rate Hodgson, not afraid to make unpopular calls like Henderson on for Parker and Ox dropped for Sweden and Walcott not starting yesterday for the good of the team.

Re: Euro 2012
A win is a win
Don't understand some of the haters, last time I looked The Arsenal were an English team
Tbf we had the best chance of the first half and had Carroll been in rooneys place we would have been.
I would play Carroll with Rooney, Carroll is a very good long ball winner and bullies defenders, something that you need when playing Italian defenders.
I wasn't much interested in this competition at first (after the south africa debacle) but after seeing our boys giving their all and scrapping for a win (something Arsenal used to be great at) I have found myself fully behind the team

Re: Euro 2012
In Walcotts defence he never received a decent pass when he did come on. I like Walcott as he does have the ability to win games. He is much better than Arshavin and others who have worn our shirt.clockender1 wrote:the club & his agent has always controlled his media access very strictly - i'm guessing both are cashing in while they can.donaldo wrote:

regardless of whether RvP goes or not, Feo's definitely on the bench next year and as 'a England regular' he'll be agitating for a move...

Milner is terrible. Young is in very bad form. But Roy is doing his home work for every game.1989 wrote:They have no wingers though and lack pace. Woy needs to start the Ox or Feo as they won't handle their pace. No more Milner ffs, he'll offer us nothing against them, they don't pose any threat from out wide so we don't need to give Johnson extra cover, and that is Milner's sole purpose in the team. We need to attack them from the get go. 4-4-1-1 with Gerrard and Parker in midfield, Ox and Young on the wings and Rooney just off Welbeck.Rohan wrote:I don't know. Italy doing great. They have quick passers of ball all over the pitch. Though England grinding out great results. Their football is deteriorating with each passing game.1989 wrote:I fancy us against us the Italians.
Chiellini is also out which is a major plus.
"When Milner left the pitch after 69 minutes, he had completed nine passes. "Worked hard, James Milner, as ever," said Andy Townsend. But shouldn't we expect a little more? It might be a tough gig when your number one priority is 'keep your shape' but Milner has found a teammate with just two of 13 crosses in this tournament. Ashley Young's record (1 in 11) is even worse but he earns a little respite with the cross that should have been buried by Wayne Rooney. "
Some one like Xavi probably completes 9 passes in first few minutes.

FIFA is a fucking JokeSepp Blatter eyes goal-line technology after England win
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has renewed his call for the introduction of goal-line technology after a controversial incident in England's 1-0 win over Ukraine helped eliminate the co-hosts.
Marko Devic's shot crossed the line in the game in Donetsk but was not given.
Goal-line technology could be approved by the International Football Association Board on 5 July.
Major goal-line controversies
"After last night's match #GLT is no longer an alternative but a necessity," Blatter tweeted.

WTF? Sorry, no. He is a diving cheating scumbag that attacks people in nightclubs when he has all his mates around him. Fucking human filth.
Similar to Robbie Keane and Roy Keane for me. Don't care what country they play for, scum is scum.
Amazing to see Septic Bladder now not even trying to hide the fact he hates England and the English FA. What a dirty fucker.
But back to the football. Well done to the Engerlish on getting the results but I'd be amazed if you gt much further. Your technical game is a lot lower than the Germans, Spanish or Italians for me. Agree with 1989 - Milner is pants. You need to go at the Italians with pace. If you try and grind it out they will outpass you.

The reason Theo talks to the press is because he's one of the few footballers who can actually speak properly and eloquently.

Fuck me, he must be the first person to have ever attacked someone in a night club. Lets not forget our very own Jack Wilshere who broke a woman's arm shall we? Forget who they play for scum is scumDB10GOONER wrote:LDB wrote:I must say I'm beginning not to hate steven gerrard

Within reason I'm not too much into the business of moralising over my footballers. Gerrard speaks well for a scouser and seems to actually care about playing for and captaining England, whether that's because his club is toilet I cant say.
And do bear in mind that I said I'm beginning not to hate him, not that I like him.

F.A. fined £4038 for "attempted pitch invasion by English fans."
No one likes us, we don't care.
What about the racism charges and fines against other countries then?
Fucking joke.
