[Dan Griffin]

My ticket came last week, can't wait hoping for a win

 

[cornoccfc]

Crazy timing for a friendly.

But good to see Wellbeck in ahead of Bent and Defoe as well

 

[LastGarrison]

Pretty pointless for me and will be madness if anyone picks up an injury.

 

[Hibbert]

Where's Sturridge and Bent, much better than Welbeck and Crouch. Can't believe he keeps persisting with Barry/Carrick, joke.

I'd go with;

-- Hart --
-- Richards -- Ferdinand -- Terry (c) -- A.Cole --
-- Milner --
-- Lampard -- Wilshere --
-- A.Johnson -- Carroll -- Rooney --

wilshere won't be playing according to Wenger

 

[Marty]

It's the Netherlands not Holland, Holland is an area of the Netherlands, it's like the Dutch calling England Devon.

 

[CovScott88]

Pretty sure that Wilshere won't be playing and also read that Kyle Walker will be.

It'll be something like this:

.........................Hart......................
Walker.....Ferdinand.....Terry.....Cole
...............Parker......Barry...............
.....................Lampard...................
Johnson.................................Young
......................Rooney....................

even The FA are referring to them as Holland!

Which makes them wrong.

I call it Holland, mainly so that English-speaking people know where I'm talking about. Couldn't give a fuck whether it's politically correct or not.

 

[Marty]

It's got nothing to do with political correctness.

 

[Sky Blue Luke]

Just been called off.

It was a pointless friendly, but it's annoying that it was called off because of a bunch of halfwits :jerkit:

 

[dutchman]

A shame, and after the English had gone to so much trouble to make Utrecht fans feel at home as well!

 

[Houchens Head]

Dutchman: Who were you supporting? (Just wondering about you Username)

I predict a goalless draw.

No injuries for the dreamteams collected. Once again every cloud ...
