Bearsy Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 Not sure he'll fit in with the England boys, being neither a c**t nor in the habit of peering at ball in a constipated fashion, miscontrolling and then hoofing 30yds back to goalkeeper.

Saint Martini Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 Yeah, there's some cracking photos there that catch the man in full flow, doing what he does best, so out of all to choose from Sky plumped for this one couldn't have been a bitter little sk:mcinnes:te could it? I guess they looked for photo's tagged "Lambert" & "Surprised". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo1976 Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 About time the England set up started picking inform non premadonnas that have shown heart and passion and want to make a difference to England and be given a chance,yes there are striker issues but there always has been and good honest players with a great deal to offer often get overlooked because of the club they play for and thats unacceptable , we all want our national team to do well so lets get behind this fantastic news .................wel done to the lad.

The9 Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 I think the quotes from Hodgsen are disrespectful to Lambert, and the fact that he chose 2 crocked players proves the lack of options. He says he worked hard for this, fair enough, but where was the need to state that he only got this call up because of injuries and that he would have called the likes of Carroll and sturridge up ahead of him? Never heard that after the squad has been announced. It's exactly what he said when asked why he hadn't picked Holt and Lambert on Goals on Sunday about 2 months ago, to be fair. He clearly doesn't rate him above about 6th choice and is only picking him because of all the injuries and the limited nature of the opposition.

fisho Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 Would love to say a big congrats to Ricky for the call up. Whether it's because of injuries or not, or even a sad statement on England current crop of players, no player has worked so hard to prove himself as Ricky. Good luck pal.

Toon Saint Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 Great news and thoroughly deserved, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Made up for him. Only sour note is the faint praise emanating from Hodgson and others in the media. Listened to Adrian Durham interview with Sir Trev Brooking earlier, and he asked whether Lambert's call up reflected a dearth of talent among England forwards. The guy usually spews utter tripe anyway, but you do wonder whether the wild misconception of Lambert as Grant Holt mark-II has stuck. Saw a couple of stats earlier that showed that Lambert had created more chances (80) last season than Mandzukic, Cavani, and Higuain combined (71). He also made more key passes (75) than Xavi and Messi combined (68 ). Stick that up your pipe and smoke it Adrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 8 August, 2013 Share Posted 8 August, 2013 They're not bitter at all over on POL, no... Just shows you how poor England are Just there to make the numbers up , bet the scummers are giving it large they'll never be able to reflect on having five players in their side who were all on the pitch together representing England like we did just a handful of years ago I think Lambert is better than many give him credit for but international class? And look at the rest of the squad. Got to be the poorest set of players we've had since the mid - 70's surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
