Oh great, it’s international week. Wake me up when it’s over. Sir Alex Ferguson reckons he likes to see our players representing their country though and reckons England will be going out for the win so that they can secure their qualification in to the World Cup, after missing out on last summer’s European Championships.
“It’s important that the players represent their countries and we want them to do well,” said Ferguson. “When they are competitive matches we don’t have any complaints because every player at our club is conscious of the fact that they have important games coming up.”
Ferguson is clued up on who is playing where and how many points they need, but believes England have nothing to worry about.
“England are in a safe situation but still need those three points just to get over the line,” he added. “Therefore, they will want to win. Most of the other sides need to win their games. Patrice Evra is with France, and Nani is with Portugal and they both need to win their games.”
Carrington will be pretty much empty, given the number of internationals we have in the squad, but Ferguson joked that Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville “will hold the fort while everyone else is away.”

I hate international weeks.The posibility of injuries and shite betting.Just hope Rooney comes back unscathed.
FUCK INTERNATIONALS
Cannot be doing with them.
How many players come back injured from over the years, remember Bryan Robsons shoulder, Saha with fucking France, must be many more.
I will watch of course with a few cold beers, and hope that Rooney bags a goal or two, but would rather be watching prem game.
By the way, whats Portugals position????

wow aig, that is certainly a group of death! Hungry have done well! they haven’t been anywhere near the shining lights of international tournaments for quite some time, which is a shame because they love their football with greats like Puskas!
I hate the international break… I was soooooo happy to see my beloved United again and now it has been taken away, like the sweetest candy torn from the grasp of the baby left wanting more….
lol Poor Malta haven’t scored a single goal.
Internationals always scare me. Playing for England finished Steve Coppell’s career in 1981 (I saw the match at Wembley, days after me Dad died, so it’s kind of etched in the memory) and Neil Webb was never the same after an injury with England soon after his arrival at OT. Nevertheless I’ll be at Wembley tomorrow , hoping to see Rooney bag a few more, dreading the inevitable injury.
as long as rooney and pat are fine, all is well.
internationals are wank
will be hilarious if Ronaldo is spending next summer at home instead of South Africa lol
as long as none of our lads get hurt i can deal with it
its nice to see the italians and spanish getting kicked about by the ex soviet countries
