The Road to Russia 2018

[LondonBob]

Will be a massive improvement on that clown Woy.

 

[jd1981]

Roy just joins a long list of managers who were good at qualifying and piss poor in tournament football.

 

[Tony Towner]

So after his continuous championing of both Noble and Defoe for England he picks neither when he gets the chance...hypocrite

I know I sound like an old golf club duffa when I say that it seems like p!aging for your country canappear an imbuggerance to many of these very highly paid super stars. Gone are the days when the shirt was the pinnacle IMHO. Therefore I would go for the players who really wanted to play. The at may Mean that better players ared left out. Sterling Sturridge and the like would not be getting a call from me.

What a load of rubbish Cyber.

Although Alladyce picking Antonio looks like his Carlton Palmer moment.

Early days in the season but Sterling looks like a different player so far. I would select him, but definitely not Sturridge.

imbuggerance.

Got me a new favourite word there. Love it!

 

[YoungWolf]

Rumours of Jordan Henderson as captain? I think I will cry if that happens.

 

[Nando]

Seriously?!

Abysmal if true.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rooney staying as captain.

Allardyce doing the old George Osborne trick, leak some appalling news so the real thing (which people would still have lost their shit about) doesn't seem as bad :icon_lol:

 

[Lupo]

Breaking News from The FA:

Wayne Rooney remains England captain

 

[Langers]

Reading Allardyce's autobiography at the moment. Written before he took charge at Sunderland and his ambition to be England manager one day couldn't be clearer! I'm no fan of his and I don't expect us to improve under him (we sure as hell won't win anything) but it's hard not to feel a bit happy for him after what I've read.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Rooney retires from International football!!!

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

....after the next World Cup :neer_neer:

 

[Boozad]

Bastard, got my hopes up then.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Thought that would excite a few alright

 

[The Bear]

I thought he'd already retired based on his performances...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Forster injured so I guess Hart might still play?

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

Team vs Slovakia.


Hart

Walker Stones Cahill Rose

Henderson Dier

Lallana Rooney Sterling

Kane



8 of the team that lost to Iceland keep their place. Inspiring stuff, Sam.​

 

[Tony Towner]

I'd have picked Shaw at left back, Vardy up front and Drinkwater instead of Henderson, but really it's not about changing the players, it's about changing the attitude and fear factor. That's where he will be judged, but it won't be until the World Cup itself until we will be able to do so, as I'm sure as we have done for the last 4 qualifiers we'll be comfortable in the group
