saint_stevo Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Firsty, what channel is it on? Secondly, with no players from the F.A Cup final involved, possible starting 11's? I think- Hart, Johnson, King, Ferdinand, Baines, Lennon, Huddlestone, Milner, Gerrard, Crouch, Rooney.
Colinjb Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Coverage starts at 7.30am on ITV. (Yes, that dreadful station.) I wouldn't expect Rooney to start, my lineup. Hart, Carragher, King, Dawson, Baines, Gerrard, Huddlestone, Carrick, Milner, Crouch, Defoe.
iansums Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 I think he's going to try Gerrard playing just off Rooney, so I'd go for: Hart, Carragher, Ferdinand, King, Baines, Lennon, Milner, Huddlestone, Johnson, Gerrard, Rooney.
fish fingers Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 This will be the first England game i've seen for years. I think the last was a 3-0 win over Portugal at the old Wembley.
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 state of the pitch to be mentioned in the opening 5 mins. Might put something on that. Anyone know where does odds on that sort of wager?

doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 For no other reason than I like the picture Tonights match

doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 ITV's coverage annoying already then. Sorry Adrian Chiles. You are not up to being the studio anchor.
Nexstar Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 England players look completely disinterested during the national anthem, they should have to belt that out.
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Wembley looks good with the St George's cross in the stands. How have they done that? Free t-shirts on the seats I'm guessing?
Nexstar Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Wembley looks good with the St George's cross in the stands. How have they done that? Free t-shirts on the seats I'm guessing? Yeah, looks excellent
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Do people still bother with England friendlies? They're always, ALWAYS **** and as boring as watching paint dry.
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Mexico looking ther better side at the moment. England giving it away very easily. Early doors though
Nexstar Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Do people still bother with England friendlies? They're always, ALWAYS **** and as boring as watching paint dry. I suggest you tune in, lively start so far!
Arizona Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Sloppy stuff. Rooney looking p*ssed off and isolated already.
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 2-0 Crouch. England still not looking good though.
Nexstar Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Playing poorly and winning against a strong team is a good sign. Fabio will sort it out
Dark Munster Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Peter Crouch: 22 goals in 38.5 England matches. If he's not on the plane, and Heskey (7 goals in 57) is, then Capello has completely lost the plot.
Dark Munster Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 For no other reason than I like the picture Tonights match Half nice. My score: Mexico 10 England 3
Red Alert Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 (edited) Who is mexico's number 17? Giovanni Dos Santos, of Tottenham and as Hatch is kindly about to point out has spent the season on loan at Ipswich. Edited 24 May, 2010 by Red Alert I didn't edit nufink 'onest guv
Hatch Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Giovanni Dos Santos, of Tottenham think he spent the season on loan at Crystal Palace but too lazy to check for sure. ipswich maybe
Red Alert Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Hell of a goal from Johnson. He has that in him as he showed a few times for the blue few, just never seems to happen all that often. Though he did score a screamer for Liverpool this season, cant remember who against.
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Bet they show Beckham just before the free kick
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Bet they show Beckham just before the free kick They did. Knew it. Worth a wager in the next game.
JackFrost Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 LOL Portugal held to a 0-0 draw by the Cape Verde Islands Isn't that where (ex-Saint) Pele came from?
saintkiptanui Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Wembley looks like some kind of Communist party convention, no way would I sit there wearing some crappy t.shirt for the whole game, it's so gimpy being an England fan at Wembley.
EBS1980 Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Why put Johnson and bent in the squad and not try them out tonight? We know what defoe and Lennon can and can't do
RonManager Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Wembley looks like some kind of Communist party convention, no way would I sit there wearing some crappy t.shirt for the whole game, it's so gimpy being an England fan at Wembley. I wonder what would happen if someone dared to take their red or white top off revealing some other coloured attire?
saintkiptanui Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 I wonder what would happen if someone dared to take their red or white top off revealing some other coloured attire?Hung.
RonManager Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Hung. I wondered what those twitching feet were dangling from the top of the screen.
Fan The Flames Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Singing God save the queen during the match is **** it sounds really ****.
saintkiptanui Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Are these T.shirts given to fans as they enter the stadium?? if so won't it be really hot wearing it over what you have on??
Fan The Flames Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Are these T.shirts given to fans as they enter the stadium?? if so won't it be really hot wearing it over what you have on?? People were asked to come topless.
doubleonothing Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Are these T.shirts given to fans as they enter the stadium?? if so won't it be really hot wearing it over what you have on?? Must have been on the seats. Its the only way you could get a co-ordinated St Georges cross.
saintkiptanui Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Must have been on the seats. Its the only way you could get a co-ordinated St Georges cross.So you have to put gimpy t>shirts on and be really hot to watch England at wembley, sounds ace.
stevegrant Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 A surprisingly entertaining game for a friendly. Don't think we learnt anything particularly new. Things that we already knew but were reinforced tonight: Defensively we look pretty ropey Michael Carrick is crap Theo Walcott looks decent enough but then lacks the intelligence to play the right final ball Jermain Defoe isn't good enough against half-decent international opposition Peter Crouch's goalscoring record for England is mental
saint_stevo Posted 24 May, 2010 Author Posted 24 May, 2010 hope bent gets a game against the japs, same for parker, warnock and give johnson more time, and on the right. If only walcott had a brain
Andy_Porter Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Peter Crouch needs six more goals to reach the top ten England goal scorers of all time. Will overtake Keegan and Channon soon.
Huntingdon Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 A surprisingly entertaining game for a friendly. Don't think we learnt anything particularly new. Things that we already knew but were reinforced tonight: Defensively we look pretty ropey Michael Carrick is crap Theo Walcott looks decent enough but then lacks the intelligence to play the right final ball Jermain Defoe isn't good enough against half-decent international opposition Peter Crouch's goalscoring record for England is mental IMO he's hardly improved since he left here He hasn't got a football brain, and if Wenger has failed to install one after 4 years at Arsenal, then he's never going to have one
Badger Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Peter Crouch needs six more goals to reach the top ten England goal scorers of all time. Will overtake Keegan and Channon soon. Absolute travesty.
saint_stevo Posted 24 May, 2010 Author Posted 24 May, 2010 Absolute travesty. How? Crouch scored the goals.
Badger Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 How? Crouch scored the goals. True,and that is undeniable but for him to go above KK and MC in a table is absurd given their respective talents.
