Saints playing for England (and other internationals)

[toofarnorth]

Cant work out if it's our strikers are guff or their defenders are good. With all these crosses Rickie would have a field day.

[norwaysaint]

Do any of our forwards have any kind of first touch at all?

[trousers]

Goal!!!!!! Rooney

[Colinjb]

Get in!

[Saint_clark]

Tomaszczesny? I think not

[Jonnyboy]

Now we are a top 4 side I reckon we should put in a cheeky bid for Townsend come January.

[Whitey Grandad]

Great goal. Well taken.

[mcjwills]

Bid for Glik would not go a miss

[trousers]

Rickie would have buried that Sturridge effort FFS

[toofarnorth]

Sturridge and Wellbeck have been woeful

[hypochondriac]

Sturridge and Wellbeck have been woeful

 

Both missed sitters and been poor so far.

[dan abnormal]

Baines must surely be 1st choice lb now , much better than Cole currently

[CB Saint]

Actually enjoying an England game.

 

townsend is great, think real bought the wrong player

[DT]

SRL would have scored a couple by now

 

Just what I was thinking. Sturrridge and Wellbeck only seem to be good at falling over. Rickie would have been slated for missing that last free header.

Word, I usually hate watching England but I'm enjoying this new fast paced attacking attitude of last two games.

Baines is just keeping the lb spot warm,for Shaw.

Is Wellbeck wearing clown shoes ?

[Saint Charlie]

Its because the game actually means something. Too much Intl football lacks tension and meaning.

Nothing like desperation to chase a victory or two is there ?

[Graffito]

 

That's what I thought. Take a look at Smalling's plates. Think he's got a pair on too.

[DT]

He'd look brilliant pairing it with Sir Alex Ferguson's comedy red clown nose

[Delmary]

Fresh legs required.

[trousers]

Is it Rickie o'clock yet?

[DT]

Is it Rickie o'clock yet?

 

Not a hope sadly

[Colinjb]

I don't suppose anyone had noticed that Italy were losing 1-2 at home to Armenia have they!?

 

2-2 now.

[Colinjb]

Ugh, Rooney you idiot, cutting inside when there was a man on the overlap.

[Stepgar]

What the hell does Roy see in welbeck!

[Jonnyboy]

Actually enjoying an England game.

I wouldn't that far tbf.

[DT]

What the hell does Roy see in welbeck!

 

Man U, mainly

[mcjwills]

Too many year watching Saints, am always terrified at 1-0 up in the last 5 mins in important games

[Batman]

Milner lol

[DT]

Another dullsville sub

[Colinjb]

YES! Gerrard!

 

World cup here we come!!

[DT]

Brilliant sub. Ahem

[mcjwills]

Thank god for that :-)

[Micky]

Milner lol

 

Yep Milner, good assist.....

[Whitey Grandad]

Typical! Gerrard's been crap all game.

[DT]

Hurray. Money from the bookies

[Jonnyboy]

What was everyone worried about eh?

[Bearsy]

Meh I take it back that second half was the usual sh!t. I'm predicting same old plodding dour constipated c*ntball when they go brazil.

[david in sweden]

remembering a couple of our other internationals.

 

Steve Davis got an equaliser for N.I. in a 1-1 draw.

 

JWP scored direct from a 20 yard free kick . Eng. U21's won 5-0

Decent run, terrible pass at the end though.

[doddisalegend]

Well I've discovered that my new found interest in England was basically down to Rickie playing. Without Lambert (or any saints player) playing I just don't feel invested in the national side. I thought at least I could watch Boruc play last night....... In fact the whole game was so exciting I missed most of the second half when I feel a sleep on the sofa.

[Wade Garrett]

Have really enjoyed our last 2 qualifiers. Manager deserves a lot of credit for our attacking play, and high pressing. Reckon he's been watching a few Saints games.

[OldNick]

I think England looked exciting and played quite well. The forwards added pace to the attacks and did enough to justify their place in the team. I would have loved RL to play but the result was the. Ost important thing. Rickie would have linked the forward play well but the pace was a key, especially with Wellback playing wide

[hutch]

Gaston played second half for Uruguay.

[dellboypete]

any links to the Ward-Prowse goal last night?

[disconnect]

Welbeck awful again for England. Thought Sturridge was quiet, but looked a lot more dangerous on the ball than Welbeck. Shame Rickie didnt get on, but was never going to happen. Good to see JWP score. Osvaldo subbed after 50 odd minutes, hope he's not injured...

[BotleySaint]

Gaston played second half for Uruguay.

Does that mean he's played more minutes for them than us this season? ;-)
