    Can England Win Euro 2016 ?

    I do rate Wilshere. Jury still out on him at international level though. I really like him as a player, but he has been a bit headless chicken at times for England and lost the ball in key areas. Sturridge I like, but while he will score I don't feel he is the natural finisher we need. Much...

    Thanks Stu. Very incisive, in depth and well reasoned.

    England approach Roy Hodgson

    Arry reminds me somewhat of Bobby Gould. Think he'd be great in the dressing room and in interviews, but tactically would fall well short of what would be required.

    Can England Win Euro 2016 ?

    Nope. Course not. Don't get this 'all these talented youngsters' the press and pundits are going on about. What ALL talented youngsters? Had we had a teamfull I would of course be optimistic, but when you look back to 2006 (Beckham, Rooney, Ferdinand, Neville, Ashley Cole, Owen, Lampard, Terry...

    England approach Roy Hodgson

    Nope. At the time I thought he was a good choice. To be quite honest I havent been that unhappy with him until this tournament. The Pirlo thing really annoyed me and I wasn't happy with some of the players he took either. Right choice then, now time for him to step down I feel.

    Thought for a moment there you were breaking into a Who song.

    England v Costa Rica

    Costa Rica though will now surely not play their first 11. They will want to get through without injury or suspensions. Only thing that can get worse for England is if Costa Rica play their second 11 and still soundly beat us. That happens and I do think Hodgson is going to get a hell of a lot...

    Oh, don't worry. The love will rekindle. Just at the moment it sometimes feels like we have no club. As soon as we're home I'll be back.

    England v Costa Rica

    Do think it will have to be Henderson or Gerrard. Think we'll have to have some sort of holding player there. Don't think Wilshere has the discipline to do that, so your team looks pretty accurate.

    Club or country

    Been a love of both for me, but though my love for my country will obviously never die, my love for the the Sky Blues is on the wane and that is simply because the club has been taken away from me. Don't do away matches so the detachment is completely total. At the moment it feels like I have...

    Just with England the defeats are so much harder to take. With the City you know another game is coming up the following week and the week after that and so on. 46 games. With the games that matter for England you get just 10 qualifying games spread over a year and a half and then just 3 in a...

    England v Uruguay

    All I can say then is that you are crazy in the coconut.Cle Clearly takes the players legs. Think you are on the wind up. ;) 100% penalty. Clear as day. I suggest you freeze frame it. The defender takes the player first and is nowhere near the ball. Stonewall.

    England v Uruguay

    Just watched it again 3 times, Brighton. Absolute nailed on penalty all day long. Took his legs.

    England v Uruguay

    Seriously? Clear pen. Took his legs, not the ball. 100% stonewall.

    Italy v Costa Rica

    He has been poor these 2 games for sure. Weak links for me in this tournament have been Johnson, Baines, Gerrard, Welbeck and Rooney (in that Italian game). Jagielka has also made too many errors. Only bright spots have been Sterling, Sturridge and Barclay. Lallana not had a chance, Ox been...

    England - Euro's 2016

    Yep!! Indeed. That's why I'd much rather see us in a tougher group. When we are in these weaker groups it makes us look a lot better than we actually are. Get Germany or France in our qualifying group and top that and THEN we are talking.
