Busy preventing suicides

they shd give Pearce the job full time and take the English manager shit to its logical conclusion. Pearce shd be forced to do the job dressed up like that nonce in the Union Jack suit that used to turn up at Cup finals to touch up kids.
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 9 February 2012 07:13 (twelve years ago) link
i say "forced" but i assume he's got his own suit.
alternatively, Pearce shd only be seen in Union Jack shorts and a Maiden t-shirt, and he shd administer a loyalty oath to all capped players.

pb the truth busy preventing suicides is still sort of true, odd http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/17012012/63/brown-wants-help-windass.html

Brown told BBC Radio Humberside: "Communication lines must be kept open with regards to himself and his former colleagues. There should be liaison officers at football clubs that speak to past and present players."

Cannot believe a Wayne Rooney tweet about 'arry is the lead story on the BBC News site.

you can't?
― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 08:27 (twelve years ago) link
I suppose he's right, it's got to be English to replace him. Rooney's played under some shit Scottish managers, after all.
― James Mitchell, Thursday, 9 February 2012 08:35 (twelve years ago) link
also tbf the last team the national team had an English manager it was a success. Better than this crap we had to put up with under Capello. None of the abject humiliation at a Finals like South Africa 2010.

"The FA has appointed Rosie Redknapp, aged 4, as the new Engerland manager."

LATEST:PM says he is sorry to see Fabio Capello go but believes he was wrong about the John Terry's captaincy

okay, it was fun last night but this has gone on long enough
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 9 February 2012 09:33 (twelve years ago) link
I mean I actually think Redknapp is the best person available to deal with England's main problem, which is the combination of disinterest, disgust and crippling stage fright that affects most of the players past a certain level of experience. But the jingoistic nonsense is making me wish he wasn't. Plus, it will make Ian Wright happy and anything that makes Ian Wright happy should be resisted with maximum force.
Probably a good day to be a Spurs player on the fringes of the squad though - Lennon, Walker, Dawson must be pretty happy this morning.

Who the fuck is richard williams and why is his puke festering on the pages of my national newspaper

yes
has lennon been in any recent squads? (for england i mean) I don't rate him tbh but then again...walcott.

Most successful English manager of his generation, innee? Beat Cardiff in an FA Cup final, that's quite an achievement.

dawson was the best player on the pitch at anfield monday night imo
― pandemic, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:03 (twelve years ago) link
lennon has been in and out with injuries but is streets ahead of where he was before redknapp came. He's been excellent this season when fit.
― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:06 (twelve years ago) link
and yeah, dawson shouldn't be considered fringe, dawson is prob as close to the player terry is claimed as ye've got
― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:08 (twelve years ago) link
if not harry then i hope the fa is aware of a certain young tyro who is running away with ILF's fantasy football this season, inexperienced - yes, and not english, but 'best man for the job' etc

Reckon Jones and Smalling were ahead of Dawson in the pecking order because they can play right across the back four if need be.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:10 (twelve years ago) link
Smalling doesn't impress me at all at right back but
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:11 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I mean you've got Richards, Walker and Johnson as it is so it shouldn't even be necessary but in the event of a crisis...
― Matt DC, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:12 (twelve years ago) link
bentley's already been capped iirc rose can't be any worse
good chance to get rid of ferdinand AND terry tbh. Both not good enough anymore.xxp
― pandemic, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:12 (twelve years ago) link
i am more intrigued than anything by Arry's stance toward the busted flush that is almost every England international with 40+ caps - will he drop them all, keep a couple of faces around, play the same wankers that have failed the last 3 or 4 times?
if Pearce gets a caretaker job i'm pretty sure i know how that'll go
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:14 (twelve years ago) link
i think ferdinand/terry want putting out to pasture/down respectively, alright.
I'd say walker is less likely to have a claim at rb vs dawson at cb, smalling and jones are both vg prospects and better than dawson was at that age, but he's gotten over his error-prone days and i don't know the two lads have just yet.
― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:17 (twelve years ago) link
xp He'll honour old Pat Lampard by making her little boy Frank the captain, natch.
― James Mitchell, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:17 (twelve years ago) link
can't see harry dropping lampard/gerrard/terry/rio tbhin fact think capello's squad = harry's squad with at most 2 exceptions maybe.defoe for bent maybe.

― pandemic, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:19 (twelve years ago) link
as far as it pertains to my enjoyment of football anyway
i can see arry changing the centre back pairing, but if he keeps gerrard/lampard/rooney it'll be because they'll play to a good level for him.
He's not been shy dropping players for us, tbf
Parker in and captain for sure tho, and king on the plane. Already a huge improvement on capello's wc squad
― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:21 (twelve years ago) link
LOL @ talk of 'Arry "wanting to show loyalty to Spurs", aye right. Once a Gooner, eh?
― Charles Kennedy Jumped Up, He Called 'Oh No'. (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:24 (twelve years ago) link
this was sort of my thinking, if he can get gerrard or lampard to perform to their ability for England then good luck to him, but jokes about his nephew aside he doesn't seem to me a guy who'll play players purely on reputation
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:24 (twelve years ago) link
