ho ho looking at the top rated English players in the Prem for the last couple of years based on their 'whoscored' rating throws up some truly tragic potential England elevens. Crouch being the top rated English striker from last season does make me ponder whether there is any value in what WhoScored does tbh.

i would add that, in Gerrard's defence, he can't help being as shit as he is now, and he didn't pick himself for this crucial World Cup qualifier.

didn't he?

He texted Redknapp and told him to pick him.

that was shit from Rooney

i dunno, i don't think Hodgson is in thrall to the usual suspects like some previous managers, i just think he's got no fucking imagination.
― I like to tackle hard and am crazy (Noodle Vague), Friday, 11 October 2013 19:40 (twelve years ago)
Also there's only Wilshere and Cleverley to play there anyway.

carrick ffs

pretty sure England's Englishest Englishman Jacques Houillecherre wd've been a better bet than the wheezing corpse of Stevie Me

Keep forgetting about Carrick.

Fabian Delph highest rated midfielder in the league iirc

Blackburn's Martin Taylor will be there to mop up when the siblings' rivalry causes them to lose concentration.
this is the worst sentence ever written

kinda reads like the most hamfisted of satire actually. not sure what it's trying to do

Gerrard as the lone centre mid in there is terrifying me even now, and it's not like i care

it's shit but it seems kind of tongue-in-cheek?

A bit weird writing that in 2003, when England actually could have won in 2004

How did they manage to miss Frank Lampard in 2003?

Also genuine lol at SWP at RB.

yeah i didn't really mean to point the accusing finger of outrage or anything, all fun and games reading the tea leaves
swp actually did start out as wing back under keegan, not much 'back' to it but still

Imagine strauss booming out withine the confines of keggys ears, the sliver of light becoming a ray becoming a beam becoming a continent-enveloping solar bath in his mind's eye, as he considers the exponentialities of the concept that a player can play in two positions at once

"Someone leaked it and I bet 100 per cent confident that no player was offended, not one," Collymore wrote on Twitter. "If they are, do explain why. Racism is hard enough to keep on the agenda as it is without making everyone think a legitimate space tale should be a cause for offence."
― r|t|c, Thursday, 17 October 2013 09:25 (twelve years ago)
@StanCollymoreThought I'd read Roy ''story''. Biggest load of bollocks I've ever wasted 10 seconds reading. He gave a context laden tale for fucks sake.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 17 October 2013 09:29 (twelve years ago)
Are England still allowed in the World Cup?

"legitimate space tale"
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Thursday, 17 October 2013 09:36 (twelve years ago)
pretty much my fave phrase ever now
― r|t|c, Thursday, 17 October 2013 09:37 (twelve years ago)
It's a pretty bizarre motivational tactic but this is such a dumb non-story. Suspect Lampard told his Uncle Harry who went and told The Sun. You can see the big stirring stick a mile off.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 October 2013 09:37 (twelve years ago)
you have 15 mins at half time with 11 players you spend 12 of them trying to remember the punchline to a nasa parable and end up pointing at andros townsend and calling him an overworked monkey smdh
