Big Fat Sam's England

Allardyce has announced his first England squad. Wilshire dumped. Walcott recalled. Rooney still there.

Only real shift from the norm is a call up for Michail Antonio. I actually think that's a good call. I like him as a player and think he can be quite exciting.

 

Can't believe he didn't pick Deeney. Maybe he didn't like the rivalry!! :]]

 

Same old ****. Shoehorning in Antonio doesn't change that. Still picking players hardly involved for their clubs. Still the same old losers.

Same old.

 

Who else should he have picked? You look at the Premier league and I think there was something like 72 players who are qualified to play for England involved in match day squads, a fair few would be keepers so perhaps 65 players, and then we have the big name international retirements like John Terry and James Milner (haha). Bar some Burnley and Bournmouth reserves, there is only dregs about.

We are so desperate for players, we tried to get Steven Nzonzi to play!

 

Bit harsh, he'd be class alongside Dier in holding midfield. Better than Henderson or any other option we have.

 

Yes, but he is French and played for their under 21s!

 

Walcott in but no Barkley? Bonkers.

 

Most coached by Pochettino! Something like 10 of last 18 debutantes.

 

I'd love to know the reasons for including Jordon Henderson aside from the fact he is always picked. He was awful last season, was terrible at the Euro's and has started this season in equally as poor form.

Same old dross will give the same outcome. A shame, as it was a chance to really re-invent the squad and shake it up, an opportunity I thought Allardyce would take.

 

YES but apart from the fact that he's French,has played for them,doesn't want to play for England and is quite good...

 

Without one or two genuine world-class players we ain't gonna get much better whoever he picks. I don't think we've had one since Gazza.

 

Alex McCarthy called up to replace Forster.

McCarthy last played a game 179 days ago.

 

Is Ben Foster still "retired"?

 

The aqueduct?

How the fck is that supposed to be HD?

and why the fck are we in Blackpool colours?

 

How the hell is the goalie allows to wear that shirt when it clashes with England's kit, who decides it is ok and when ?

 

What a pathetic dive from Rooney. Embarrassing.

 

No. Useless. So glad I am a dispassionate observer.

 

Walcott's sub appearance has been utterly dreadful!

 

Largely the same players in a similar formation so no surprise it is the usual uninspiring stuff.

 

Lucky bastards. Why hadn't ref blown for time?

 

Great victory, a vindication of the open attacking football big Sam has be known for all these years.

 

Their keeper was down for at least 2 minutes as the 4 were added on.

 

Oh, cheers. i'd gone to make a cup of tea.

 

Low expectations so I am pleased with the win. Seems like Sam set us up to get a draw though which was disappointing, strange interview afterwards where Sam more or less said Wayne can play where he likes, weird.
