    No Carrick but Milner, Downing etc. Utter fucking piss take. Oh but Ingerlund will be fine they have the genius “Scotty” Parker, all blood and thunder but no class and fucking one footed Barry. Fuck off Hodgson. Actually thought he may pick Carrick but no. Hope they go out in group stages.

    United >Ingerlund.

  2. Corea says:

    Young ?

  3. brettbcn says:

    Yes, Mr Young…

  4. The Left Bank says:

    Er…4 if you count Ashley Young, my friend.

  5. Corea says:

    there were times when we didn’t have twitter i guess.. too involved Scott these days..

  6. Xyth says:

    Less United player in the England team or any other national teams, better for United.

    Anyway United>England!

  7. AntiScouser says:

    Downing, ha ha ha ha. Good luck unlocking the defences. LOL

  8. kanchelskis says:

    Lol, that’s not Luke Young on the wing there, Scott.

  9. Corea says:

    Hoped (REALLY ???) thought if Scholesy got into the team would have looked at it with interest. EC i mean.

  10. ClaytonBlackmoresTan says:

    Downing? Really? Brilliant.

    Glad Rio will get a rest, he was superb this season and I am chuffed he won’t have to perform like a fucking seal with a beachball for ungrateful, deluded, small-town mentality fans this summer.

    Well done to the lads who got in though and GNev for his new role, but Ingerlund really can spread my cheeks wide and munch on my 1970′s style wall mounted tea-towel holder to be honest. Gio Traps Green Army is going to be entertaining as fuck. Portugal will be worth a watch too; Ronnie and Nani running the show.

    No tea towels were harmed in the fabric of our new kit.

    Grab your flip flops Rio, you’ve earned a break mate.

    United>Plastic patriots

  11. Costas says:

    Worst England squad I’ve ever seen. Where to begin?

    Downing in and Sturridge out?
    Parker and Barry in and Carrick out?
    Andy Carroll in after 2 good games (by his standards)?
    Glen Johnson in and Richards out?
    The fact that Liverpool have the same amount of players as United and City even though they finished the season 37 points behind them?

    What a joke. Poor Rooney. Misses his summer vacation just to play in one game.

  12. Doghouse says:

    I don’t care that England is my country, I won’t support them for the way they have treated Rio and for their resolute refusal to give Carrick a chance. Fuck them.

  13. Jeet says:

    what a Downer…

  14. Shebangsthedrums says:

    Doghouse – I’m with you, I can’t bring myself to cheer on players like Terry, Barry and Downing. Even James Milner makes the squad and he can’t get in the city team. Feel sorry for Rio and Carrick but the best thing they can do is concentrate on playing and winning the league for It’d next season. I hope the It’d lads do themselves proud, the rest can kiss JT’s arse!

  15. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Costas, You said it exactly right mate. How the fuck can those players be picked ahead of the names you’ve mentioned is beyond me? I mean, anyone with half – make that quarter – a brain can see that Carrick has been miles ahead of Parker this season.

    And you know what, I thought Hodgson might be different since he was actually fucked in the arse by Liverpool. But it seems the F.A. have complete influence over any England manager. But who am I kidding, if they could influence Capello, a foreigner, then what is going to stop them from controlling an Englishman.

    There’s not point getting worked up over it since it isn’t going to change.

    England’s loss is United’s gain. Imagine what a fully-fit, rested, and hungry United squad could do next season. That is what makes my mouth water. We should really be thanking Hodgson for this.

  16. ak47 says:

    so Downing, who’s had an abysmal season goes ahead of Lennon, Adam Johnson (who’s hardly played yet still has done so much more than Downing), Sturridge,

    And Carroll, who’s not even a first choice for Liverpool, goes ahead of Crouch (who’s scored more than he has), Holt (who’s had a great first season, 2nd highest english goalscorer),

    Is he trying to repair his fractious relationship with Liverpool fans?

  17. kanchelskis says:

    It just gets better. Gerrard captain.

  18. Shebangsthedrums says:

    ak47 – possibly, Gerrard captain!

  19. Milesplattingred says:

    A shocking but expected England team. Same old shit. I don’t really care, won’t be watching. I simply cannot support a team with John Terry in it.

  20. gaz says:

    hahahah Pigeon Woy Flew the coup and got his feathers fucked by the FA to pick the shittest England squad i have ever seen! good luck to the United lads but fucking madness picking Andy Jagerfarts me Arse and Jermaine i look like a fucking rat Defoe! it was glaringly obvious sturridge tops him and even the fucking blue nose twat Richards is a mile better then fucking chicken brain Johnson! hahah Traffic cone fat lamps and Scott boardwalk Empire Parker hahah James disproportonite head Milner!!!

    COME ON IRELAND!!!!!

  21. Jeet says:

    @Gaz: LMAO at Pigeon Woy :lol:

  22. Dave Malaysia says:

    On a personal note, at the game for Harry Gregg, was wondering what at least 3 United players were going thru.

    One is Rio, I said the only reason he wont go is fitness. Dosent look like it,does it?
    What is woy playing at?

    I guess betterjust wait for explanations later. But I think Rio must have known something, his season ending with a important game for United but he had hoped for more.

    Wonder what he is going thru. Retire Rio from England.

    Michael Owen and Berbatov. Last games for us at Windsor Park ?

  23. AntiScouser says:

    If only there was a Republik of Mancunia, we’d have somebody to support at the Euros.

  24. gaz says:

    @jeet

    Half Pigeon half Owl!! hahah!

  25. Corea says:

    Imagine not having Terry, Gerrard, Lampard in the squad. At least Roy wouldn’t be blamed for not taking “heroes” to Euros.

  26. whiteside85 says:

    piss take…terrys cost bridge & now rio a place in the squad. the pr*ck needs to be fucked off.

    lampard……how many times has he got to let them down b4 hes dropped for good.
    Downing…..WTF
    barry over carrick. haaha.
    thats why engurland will always be shite, live in the dark ages with effort over skill & possession. fuckin garbage. the squads almost as bad as when they were picking calton palmer & geoff thomas. didnt think i would ever say that.

    UNITED>engurland for ever & ever amen

  27. ak47 says:

    off topic, but is there anyone who’s seen Pogba on a regular basis and can provide and neutral opinion as to whether his hype is justified?

  28. ak47 says:

    @Gaz

    Lmao at the Owl comment. I take it you watched 8 out of 10 Cats the other week when Sean Lock went started taking the piss out of him?

  29. Brendan says:

    Lads let’s all get behind the Irish , come on trap bring the trophy home..

  30. JP7 says:

    That boy Ronaldo will make Ingerlund look sh*te again!

  31. Iceman says:

    What a fucking joke, Downing has done nothing to deserve a place in that group. 0 assists, 0 goals, played like shit as most of the Liverpool players this season. Again we see clearly that Carrick is underrated and overlooked. On the bright side then he’ll be fresh at the start of next season for us.

  32. zelh says:

    Jesus christ.
    Woy is saying that he choose Tewwy over Wio cause he helped his team reaching a CL Final.
    With his sending off?
    I agree with him on the pitch they would have lost.

  33. chuffer says:

    Well pleased with the squad – lots of our players getting a rest & it may even be difficult for the England fans to blame the United players when we got knocked out in the group stages.
    I’m laughing at the thought of the England fans thinking that Carrol, Downing, Johnson & Henderson will bring back any silverware!!

  34. zelh says:

    ak47 – Have seen almost every game in the last 2 years. I’d say the hype is justified to some extend, BUT he really struggled at the start in reserve and people were expecting more from him.
    They wanted him to put his stamp on the reserve team which he couldn’t do.

    Nevertheless his passing and vision is exceptional. I think everybody knows about his shooting and his skills on the ball. And still he clearly has problems with his positioning in midfield which didn’t improve at all over the last 2 years.

    Well in the end he’s all the talent to make it at United. And I’d love to see him stay, but life goes on if he leaves.

  35. Corea says:

    @ak47 – what else can we do rather then seeing Fergie giving Pogba minutes whenever we went 2-0 ahead and trying his best to keep hold of him ?
    Just like he did with Ronaldo and Rooney.
    Imagine he is just 18 years old.

  36. Corea says:

    @zelh – all the skills are there. Some good vision, physique and awareness. But i haven’t seen him a lot so basing it all on Fergie.

  37. gaz says:

    @ak47

    I confess the Owl comment isnt a Gaz original! but was to funny not to post!!

  38. zelh says:

    According to Raiola Pogba would’ve been gone already if it wasn’t for SAF. Sad to hear such things as I really rate the kid.

  39. Nesh says:

    Downing picked after 36 games, 0 goals and 0 assist and no Carrick What kind of sick joke is this
    Lennon, sturridge and showcross/richards wld have been better choices for downing, carrol and terry. The aging midfield wont help either compared to the likes of germans ozil, bastian, khedira, kroos, gotze with an average age of 23 yrs.. Jeez Woy Hodgson is on something illegal.
    The only positive is we get to rest Rio and Carrick for next season

  40. Corea says:

    So poor footballing reasons for leaving Rio out. And him playing just one game for England in the last 12 months. Says Hodgson.

  41. ak47 says:

    I’ve only seen brief cameos of Pogba and obv clips off YouTube which don’t really count but i don’t think the hype is anywhere near justified. The boy is 19 years old and if he was that good he would’ve broke through into our midfield by now, especially considering the state of it.

    In my opinion we should tell him to fuck off, he’s been taking us for a ride, let him go to Juventus if they’re going to offer him stupid money in wages then good luck to them. He’s unproven, if he was willing to go out on loan for next season to ply his trade, different matter, but he thinks he’s better than he actually is, a la tevez

  42. Corea says:

    Jay bothroyd via twitter

    “Seriously how can Rio Ferdinand Micah Richards and Peter crouch not be in the euro absolute joke !!!!”

    hehe some hype towards Rio i guess)

    Have to go home. Working day’s over.
    Good luck guys.

  43. zelh says:

    Costas – Tewwy played only 33 minutes for England in the past 19 months.

  44. albania says:

    No Carrick – Funny ?!

  45. zelh says:

    ak47 – the hype somehow got to him, I agree. But Juventus is not the club to pay a player silly money. They just couldn’t afford it. As Raiola said we have agreed terms with him and it’s up to Pogba now what he wants.

    Imo it would be way easier to get into United’s midfield than into Juventus’ one.

  46. TheCANTONA says:

    Downing, Gerrard & Johnson?? Some donkeys would’ve never learns…

  47. Redbilly says:

    Schwienstieger must be quaking in his boots looking at the England squad :-) .

  48. mancdub says:

    I not a big England fan. I rarely watch qualifiers or friendly’s. But in the tournaments I always get behind my country. 
    It will be hard this time though because there are far too many scumbags in that squad.
    How the fuck can John Terry still an international footballer. An ambassador for my country when the whole world saw him call Anton Ferdinand a black cunt.
    The FA should be ashamed.

  49. Stenis says:

    England have really dropped the ball regarding their central midfield. It’s been going on for many years now.

  50. Redbilly says:

    The sense of injustice is only related to the disappointment for our lads who were not selected but wish to play. Personally, and it’s selfish. I don’t want any if our lads risking injury to play for the three lions . Only united matters.

  51. YS says:

    Haha ……….such a fast paced midfield comprising of Barry Parker Fatlamps and Captain Retard
    Plus the hv mister invincible Downing , hahaha………n their back up is Henderson

    I bet a complete Norwich or Swansea team can do a better job

  52. Redbilly says:

    Mancdub- it’s a circus, nothing more nothing less. At least with Terry there , he may fuck up which is always fun.

  53. Redbilly says:

    It’s all academic as england will win FUCK ALL.

  54. Ji Sung says:

    Gutted for Rio and Michael! Both world class players it has to be said. Its better for United though let’s be honest + England have no chance @ the Euros anyway. They’ll both get a decent rest and come back refreshed and raring to go next season. Anyways enough about the England drama…….have we signed an attacking midfielder yet fellas??

  55. Sparkz says:

    Shambolic selection.

    Firstly – Terry over Rio is stupid. Rio and Lescott have been the best English centre backs by a million miles. His fitness has been fine. He’s more suited to international football than Terry (Germany 2010 anyone?). And he’s less of a disruptive influence in the dressing room. And let’s not forget Terry made Carroll and Henderson look like Messi and Iniesta last week!

    Also, how Richards has missed out I’ll never know. Been the best English right back all season. Likewise Carrick, who’s been the best English midfielder by some distance. But he didn’t even make the standby list….and Jordan friggin Henderson did! Henderson, this is the guy we’ll be relying on if a midfielder gets injured?? You’ve gotta be having a laugh.

    Finally, Grant Holt has been doing everything Carroll has been doing these last few weeks (plus scoring more goals)…..and he’s been doing it all season.

    Maddening selections. Feel really sorry for Rio and Carrick in particular, they don’t deserve this.

  56. mancdub says:

    Oxlade Chamberlain and Baines are both very good players but neither will feature much if at all.

  57. dannysoya LOVES SIAN MASSEY says:

    How did Grant Holt not get selected? What does that guy have to do to get a call? He is 1000 times the player carroll is. Same thing Jermaine defoe. How many games has he gotten for spurs this year? how many goals? Just complete madness. So you are looking at an england front two of Caroll and Defoe against France and Sweden? LMAOOOOO. I just hope Welbeck and Jones are not drawn into this utter mess.

    DEUTSCHLAND ALL THE WAY!!!!

  58. CedarsDevil says:

    New manager yet the same comedy…….Gerrard and Lampard again? Never worked and never will

  59. Danunited says:

    United over england anyday. Hope they go out at group stages

  60. Red Van Nistelrooy says:

    Defoe and Carrol over Holt??
    Barry Milner and Downing over Carrick??
    Terry over Rio??
    What a fucking piss take!!

    Come on Oranje!!!

  61. Red Van Nistelrooy says:

    Stuart Downing
    20 Million Pounds
    38 games
    0 goals
    0 assists

    With stats like that his selection is a no brainer :P

  62. King Eric says:

    The best bit is Henderson, like Sparkz said , could be in Ingerlund’s engine room. He will be mugged off by the Spanish and German summat bad. Good grief. Its one big fat joke. Cannot wait for the comedy to begin.

    Great to see the Harry Gregg Testimonial last night and while I appreciate the opposition were poor Bebatov is just class. I also think Young has PLENTY of goals in him next season.

  63. Redhot Concepts says:

    Gary is just wasting his time with the set-up!! Just what the fuck is this ball-less manager thinking!!!

  64. Ji Sung says:

    Haha goodbye Kenny. Its been real.

  65. samuel - united WE stand says:

    How FUCKING gareth “A slug runs faster than me” barry makes the squad i’ll never know. I know he played in a title winning team but no one can deny he has hid behind the expensive buys of city in midfield. He’s a one paced greasy greedy cunt that was running after Ozil like a prehistoric beaver. Offers absolutely fuck all to the team, no energy whatsoever and i can’t wait for him to get exposed again by more technically gifted players.

    Milner the kick and rush maestro also makes the squad, john ‘i can be racist but who cares” terry is in as wel, nice advert for the kick it out campaign FA.

    Downing? fucking downing?, lampard? stevie GBH?, henderson? carroll?. I can’t wait to watch england get battered again and see the tears, talk about a congregation of twats. How carrick gets omitted again is beyond me, he’s exactly what they need to recycle and keep possession but hey, looks like hodgson isn’t as tactically aware as credit I gave him.

  66. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Bar a few other cunts, it’s funny that this england is reminiscent and exactly the same team that went to south africa and get battered in every group game. Anyone remember that bird laying on algeria’s net? it didn’t move because england never had one shot on goal, FUCKING hopeless wankers, i can’t wait to see them get battered and sent packing.

    Hodgson got a four year deal? it will feel like billions of centuries when the pressure starts. Picking a pathetic one paced, lacking in creativity, poor in keeping possession team can’t help either. He has no steel to make the tough decisions at all, NO wonder why they call him “Uncle woy”. i can’t believe it.

  67. CedarsDevil says:

    Barry and Milner are both technically gifted players, so is Downing…. Its what you do not see which is what they are good at

  68. bobkoh says:

    I’m not watching this Euro, it turns me off plus I’ll save 60dollars. Bring on the French Open and Djokovic & Nadal.

  69. booandman says:

    Terrible news…….Kenny has left the building…..:((

  70. CedarsDevil says:

    Really terrible news about Dalglish……….The dippers will never be the same without him. He just made it so easy to hate them

  71. Vidic says:

    Who Killed Kenny ?

  72. Cyril Sneer says:

    Nooooooooooo! How can they get rid of Kenny? Half my storylines are about him! Bastards!

    They better not get Roberto Martinez either, I have a vain hope that we might get him to be our assistant manager.

    I hope they end up with Mick McCarthy.

  73. CedarsDevil says:

    I hope the dippers get Benitez back, I cannot think of anyone more pathetic

  74. Albert Ross says:

    Matt Lawton, Chief Football Correspondent of the Daily Mail “It is my understanding that Kenny Dalglish will no longer be Liverpool manager by close of play tonight”

    Henry Winter ‏ of The Daily Telegraph “Kenny Dalglish is about to leave #lfc.”

    BBC journalist Dan Roan “Expect Liverpool to make a statement by end of the day. Which way it will go still unclear, but Dalglish’s future will become clearer”

  75. redbilly says:

    Kenny leaving. I am gutted.

  76. ak47 says:

    Dogleash has been put down

  77. ak47 says:

    I think Liverpool should get Alex McLeish…., but no doubt their fans will think they should get Jose or Pep lmao.

  78. redbilly says:

    Cyril Sneer- they only sacked him to spite you :-)

  79. TheCANTONA says:

    seems Dalglish is leaving the dippers tonight.
    Well, I think we can start “BRING BACK RAFA” campaign now!

  80. redbilly says:

    Mc Leish for the scouse

  81. redbilly says:

    England v Germany >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> slaughter

  82. Gee says:

    LOL Some nobhead at the FA must pick these squads or tell the manager who they’re allowed to pick!! What happened to all this ‘we will bring in new faces’ after the World Cup shambles. Fucking ridiculous!!

    I’m not a holy man but God for the good of our piss poor national team please reincarnate Bobby Robson, Ive not enjoyed watching England since Italia 90!!

  83. alfREDo says:

    Don’t worry Cyril,
    If they bring the FSW back, you’ll have plenty of comedic ammo!!

  84. redbilly says:

    I shall fully enjoy watching the scouse and bitter players being taken apart. Sad our own lads will suffer too.

  85. CedarsDevil says:

    TheCANTONA

    Count me in!! Would love nothing more than having Benitez back

  86. Cyril Sneer says:

    redbilly – I knew it! Their stupid club is completely uninteresting without Kenny and he’s got no chance of a job elsewhere.

    It seems the dippers all want Rafa back except for the ones that want Pep Guardiola. Imagine going from Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to Downing, Henderson and Carroll…

  87. redbilly says:

    Cyril- can we expect a message from agent of Fergie re KKK?.

  88. ak47 says:

    I think Fergie should make a joke application for the liverpool job.

    If Roy does well in the Euro’s do you reckon that Liverpool will go back in for him? lol

  89. Gee says:

    @ Costas

    Your comment @ 13.32 is spot on mate, took the words out of my mouth!! And I might add that Chamberlain and Walcott are far from deserving their places, this may well ruin the OX as the early call up ruined Walcott LOL!! Roy fucking Hodgson LOL!!

  90. ak47 says:

    without fail, the kopshites are saying the KKK crew should go for Pep or Jose

  91. Albert Ross says:

    LFC should consider Owen. Adding Andy Carroll to his stable might reduce his false starts.
    Pippa Funnell coaching the strikers will also help.

  92. Lebomanc says:

    Cyril sneer
    Mick McCarthy? Hahaha….hopefully

    Bye bye Kenny, we will miss you!

  93. Cyril Sneer says:

    alfREDo – True but Kenny is much more fun. I’ll be sad if he disappears forever :(

    redbilly – I think I might have to give him a call and see how he’s getting on… ;)

  94. redbilly says:

    Cyril- only if Pep wants a real challenge. the thoiught of residing in liverpool after Barcalona requires deep thought. Kenny , in my opinion was a Liverpool stalwart and should still be there. Rafa back, I have missed him .

  95. redbilly says:

    Cyril- I await AOF with baited breath .

  96. redbilly says:

    Suarez affair appears to have tipped the balance. Corporate image tarnished.

  97. ak47 says:

    Stevie Kean for Liverpool?

  98. Gopher Brown says:

    Richie De Laet and Matt James sign for Leicester.

    I know De Laet can play at left-back and although he was no where near the first team squad, we are going to be incredibly short there next season if Fabio leaves on loan and no-one is signed. I presume SAF thinks Jonny Evans is a suitable back-up for Evra, which if anyone has seen Jonny play there, is not the case.

  99. Albert Ross says:

    Baited breath is saying words that draw your prey into a trap, while you wait with bated breath.
    Giving bat might be rejecting outright a batty intervention of irrelevance.

  100. Vidic says:

    Hope Kenny’s still in charge of the transfers.Great dealer

  101. ak47 says:

    with Andy Carroll in their team, why don’t the kopshites go after Sam Allardici?

  102. redbilly says:

    haha. I like the definition Cyril. Therefore , we look forward to a comment from AOF. Maybe a Tevez topic too.

  103. redbilly says:

    Loads of scousers on talkshite

  104. redbilly says:

    Sounds like chaos at scouseville. Really suffering over there.

  105. zelh says:

    King Kenny has been sacked :(

  106. redbilly says:

    King Kenny Culled

  107. Albert Ross says:

    Fenway Sports Group (FSG) and Liverpool Football Club announced that Kenny Dalglish is to leave his post today as Manager after having his contract terminated:

    “After a careful and deliberative review of the season, the Club came to the decision that a change was appropriate. It is not a decision that was reached lightly or hastily.
    The search for a new Manager will begin immediately.”

    Kenny’s boring response statement here:
    http://www.anfieldroad.com/news/lfc/2012-05-16/5925/kenny-dalglish-leaves-a-rudderless-liverpool.html/

  108. Marq says:

    Cleverley has more assist than Downing

    &

    Hargreaves has more goals than Downing

    I think the FA are hoping Chelsea win the CL and bring some confidence to the squad. Imagine they get thrashed, that would do wonders to squad confidence =p

  109. Bobby Charlton's combover says:

    Downing is dirt. Don’t know what he’s doing there.
    Dalglish got the sack. Miles off the pace of modern football management.
    It was inevitable.

  110. Passe says:

    That is a terrible, terrible team… Rooney misses the first two games, Ingurlund will probably play the 35 million man along with Jermaine “can’t get games at spurs” Defoe upfront. Playing the “English lionheart” Parker along with Gareth “can only play backward passes” the fucking neanderthal.

  111. Jam15 says:

    Now that Dalglish has left Liverpool, does that mean Downing has his first assist?

  112. Albert Ross says:

    Not a decision reached hastily? How long was kenny in the job?

  113. united.george says:

    bring back rafa!!

    he has been out practicing writing a blog, so he should be well primed to take on the liverpool job..

  114. Costas says:

    KKK. :(

    Only way Liverpool can make this up to us is if they bring back the FSW.

  115. Costas says:

    “I selected John Terry for footballing reasons and left out Rio Ferdinand for footballing reasons,” Hodgson added.

    “I had to decide on the basis of what I have seen over the last few months. Rio has only played once for England in the last year and three times since 2010.

    “Rio has done exceptionally well this year, has played lots of games through injury and has sometimes played three times in a week. I would be lying if I said that was the major reason for not selecting him, it was purely on other footballing decisions.”

    Link: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/roy-hodgson-gets-testy-with-media-836050?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

    So basically, Rio is not good enough. Bullshit.

  116. Mikekelly12 says:

    As far as im concerned the fewer United players in the England team the better! Fuck em, some of those selections are dog shit! Having said that, Hodgson has made his name by turning a bunch of dog shit players into a half (quarter) decent teams so maybe that’s his strategy. Will Hodgson bring Kenny in as his number two?!

  117. zelh says:

    Costas – Like I said before. The reason that Rio played only once for england in the last year is bullshit. Terry only played 33 minutes for 19 months.

  118. Costas says:

    @zelh

    Hi mate. Just saw that. Lets not forget that Terry has connveniently withdrew from the squad on numerous occasions only to return fit for Chelsea the following weekend. Hodgson is really embarassing himself over this. I don’t know what it is about the British Bullshit that makes England managers fuck up the team for his sake. Not a bad defender, but also a huge liability. England should just realize that his generation is a lost one and move on to the next.

  119. redbilly says:

    Rio has been treated like shit so often by the FA why be surprised. His face does not fit due to the racist issue. Maybe Roy didnt feel confident enough to handle the situation between the two. If so it shows a lack of strength as a manager.

    Rio deserves better but Terry has puling power with someone.

    Good luck England we are going to need it. I’m surprised by the omissions of Micah Richards and Crouch, not so much Rio I had a feeling it was coming. Chin up Rio. At least if shit hits the fan at the Euro’s none of our players will get blamed. I’m glad Rooney is not playing at the beginning as he is likely to get himself sent off. Will be cheering Nani and Ronaldo on for Portugal.

    Hope these 4 lads perform better, more importantly hope they dont get injured..

  126. Marq says:

    Everyone single one of you is wrong about the England selection! Hodgson has picked a brilliant selection, let me tell you why.

    1) 4 mediocre Liverpool players are picked, so that if anything goes wrong, they can be blamed. Fantastic way for Roy to get back at Liverpool

    2) Terry is picked because Sir Alex had asked his good friend Roy to let Rio off for a good summer break & avoid the humiliation of getting thrashed

    3) By choosing such a crap team, Hodgson is guaranteed a horrible result, and the media will ask for his head in no time. Huge payout will be avaliable to him for essentially a 2 month job. Brilliant hit & run tactic!

  127. edcunited1878 says:

    Question – Please define England’s Euro 2012 success…

    1. Getting out of group stage to quarterfinals
    2. Finishing top of group and advancing to quarterfinals
    3. Reach semi-finals
    4. Reach finals
    5. Win tournament or nothing

    :lol:

    Half the fucking team selected have either played shit for respective clubs or hardly played at all.

    Why couldn’t he just be honest and say what we all knew?

    At least one could have said that finally an England manager had the courage of his convictions when selecting.

    Makes it all look the same old same old.

    :lol: nothing new there then!

    Breaking news,
    Ken Dodd to be announced as new Liverpool manager at 7 o’clock press conference. Assistant manager is thought to be a straight battle between Cilla Black and Jimmy Tarbuck. When asked if Rafa Benitez had been considered, a Liverpool spokesman said, “don’t be ridiculous, just how stupid do you think we are”. Steven Gerard said he can’t wait to work with king Ken Dodd and he expects next season to be their year.

    Conflicting feelings about this.

    Obviously annoyed with the injustice shown towards Carrick and Rio. But glad they’re going to get a good long rest, namely Carrick. Next year’s first choice midfield partnership has to be Carrick-???.

  138. CedarsDevil says:

    Ha ha ha..Ken Dodd is actually Stevie’s dad by birth!!

  139. Saad says:

    Dave Whelan of Wigan talking about Liverpool:

    “The club have great supporters, but the place is a morgue, a desolate place, without heart, all I can say is what a shame for their supporters”.

  140. King Eric says:

    Marq could be on to summat here. Perhaps Fergie DID ask Roy to not pick Rio thus keeping him fresh. No probably not.

    samuel – Ha. faster than a slug Barry. Quality. Just laughing at your comment about that bird on the nets that didnt have to move. I remember that. Shit bastards.

    What exactly are England going to achieve with that squad?? I will be shocked it they make it past the first round. Downing, Barry, Lampard, Gerrard, Defoe, Parker, Walcott, Milner=JOKE. Immobile, lack of ideas midfielders with piss poor wingers and strikers. England have been shite to watch and will continue to be so unless they start picking players on form rather than name and legacy.

  165. TheCANTONA says:

    @parryheid:
    John Barnes? Yes please! Could u imagine suarez’s reaction of that?

  166. Utd4life says:

    Highly disappointed that King Kenny has been shown the door at R’pool. He was doing such an excellent job at R’pool by picking up the Carling cup and signing world class players such as Downing, Adams, Carroll and Henderson. Just gutted.

  167. Panderi says:

    Have to say I’m salivating at the mere thought of the fast, exciting and attacking football England are going to play in the Euros. Stevie Me, Fat Frank, Scottie Pee and Gary Barry will piss all over Schweinsteiger,Ozil,Kroos,Goetze,Alonso,Iniesta,Xavi and Fabregas. Carroll will most certainly win the Golden Boot. Terry will have the best strikers in Europe in his backpocket and shag all their girlfriends. Its going to be an awesome summer I’m telling you :D

  168. iced earth says:

    @parryheid
    i hope that John Barnes will take over Dogleash but according to reports martinez or Klopp are in line for the job

  169. Red Neck says:

    Although Rio not getting picked for England is good for united, it stinks of politics and not football. Despite problems with racism in society in general , it seemed, at least from football supporters to have greatly improved over the years. Football has a great ability to break down barriers between different races and cultures. At matches fans don’t care what colour the person next to them is, all that maters is that they love the same club as you. That’s why this decision is such a shame for English football in general. It sends a message that racism can still be tolerated and is very divisive in it’s nature. I can’t speak for the black players but I would imagine that they feel very let down by the FA for allowing this sorry situation to continue. Same old England, amateurish and embarrassing at the very top.

  170. MG says:

    Woah not again

    Red Neck

    This is not racism

    Seriously things are fucked up with racial incidents but Rio not getting picked isn’t racism

    You need to have a look at the black players selected. Our own Young and Welbeck have been picked.

    The comment is wrong.

  171. Dazbomber says:

    I hope Liverpool don’t get Matinez , he is the best young brightest manager out there.

  172. msuvn says:

    I thought Carrick is a must?! Hodgson maybe right about Rio because his fitness which I think what SAF wanted anyway. Downing is 50-50 because I think Hodgson managed the guy before so, maybe he just suit Hodgson’s style. I would prefer Adam Johnson and Down for left wing, instead of Oxlade, the guy is still too young

  174. TonyBee Watson says:

    Now that Kenny Dalglish has been sacked, Liverpool need to find a manager who it on the same wavelength as Suarez.

    Ron Atkinson?

  175. James21 says:

    MG
    Agreed.
    But Picking John Terry is showing Black supporters and Players that the FA tolerate his racist behaviour. He hasn’t been found guilty but everybody knows he is.

  176. Clint-Iamyourpapii says:

    I think Roy was 4 decisions on being spot on and is half way there to being an England Legend.
    However Woy made major errors in his judgements.

    Mischa Richards over Jones anyday, Jones doesn’t even have experience in the premier league unlike Richards who played for 4-5 years now.

    Lennon has had a fantastic year, better than Young and has performed consistently throughout and shows no signs of fatigue.

    Sturridge over Welbeck, we all know who is better and who scores and assists the most. Sturridge has played regularly for Chelsea unlike Danny and is a natural goal scorer and option on the wings unlike Danny who is not versatile.

    Bent/Holt/Crouch over the suspended Rooney, why play an ill disciplined player for 1 game out of 3? Plus I bet a grand he doesn’t even have a shot on target !

    Carrick was never going to make the squad, he can barely make ours ! If Fletcher, Anderson and Cleverley were not injured, Scholes was still 27 and Giggs maintained his form….Carrick would be lucky to make the reserve bench let alone the 1st team.

    :P

    I actually agreed with your reply, no one on here should tell others what to post weather on topic or not.

  182. Clint-Iamyourpapii says:

    Liverpool will get Frank Rijkaard as manager but he will quit due to being racially abused by Suarez and Glen Johnson.

    :lol:

    They’ll probably go after Villas-Boas, Ranieri, Mark Lawrenson, Sven Goran Sony Ericksen and Fabio Capello.

    :lol:

    I wished Dogleash would have “stayed” at the Liverpool, they was rapidly progressing with 1 Carling Cup unlike our Trophyless season.

    Furgy and Feelan out ….. Bring in King Kenny and The Messiah Keegan.

    I’m deadly serious, I don’t think any of the United boys are England Material ! None can match the abilities of Milner, Barry, Downing, Carroll, Gerrard,Lescott,Parker,Defoe, those guy are world class unlike our youth cup quality players who can’t even beat Belfast XI convincingly.

    Did Willie get to the Harry Gregg game?
    Harry Gregg is quoted as saying: “There are players better than me that have been forgotten about, players that played for this country [Northern Ireland] in the World Cup – so it’s nice to be remembered.”

  196. Red Neck says:

    Didn’t think that not picking Rio was a decision made just because he’s black. however I don’t believe it was a purely football decision either. Most people are supprised that Terry was chosen over Rio on ability.

  197. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    No no no, Robbo is my Budha, I prey for him every night!

    Milner – hardly kicked a football since his move from Villa
    Johnson – Helped the dippers to there worst record in half a century.
    Downing – Has 2 left feet

    Surely theres better out there than them.

  204. xol says:

    Piss take

  205. xol says:

    Take out Terry, the catalyst of doom. Rio in, as Captain because he didn’t do anything to warrant losing it in the first place. Roy and Gary working with those who’ll listen. Scholes, Carrick for 4-4-2, throw in (not literally) that little Xavi type one touch passer called Briton from Swansea if playing 3. Rest Paul after 60 odd mins and bring on Parker. Baines and Young can supply from the left. Right side isn’t the greatest but Jones has been crossing better. That kind of England set up isn’t going to happen but for me the quick thinking midfield is essential when you think what you’re up against with the different Nation’s styles. You play different against Germany than say Portugal.

  206. Nawaaz Casoojee says:

    I must admit,Rio Ferdinands ommission came as no surprize! Rio has done well in the second half of the season for United and having missed out on the 2010 World Cup through injury,he is understandably gutted to miss out once again! John Terry is Englands best defender,and so the racial row between the Chelsea captain and Rios brother Anton Ferdinand threathened the defensive partnership between Terry and Ferdinand,and so Terry gets the nod.
    Michael Carricks exclusion baffles me once again as I feel that he is really underated by the national side. Carricks much better technically then Scott Parker and Gareth Barry and he has had an excellent season at Old Trafford. Carricks a winner,who has helped United to 4 league titles as well as 3 Champions League finals so there is no reason why he can’t make it at international level.
    Chris Smalling will be gutted missing out through injury,and I’m sure Hodgson would have picked him had he been fit!
    Danny Welbeck and Phil Jones are talented young footballers who will make their majour tournament debuts at the Euros so we’ll wait and see how they fare.
    Ashley Young has been a key player for the Three Lions in their qualification campaign and will hope to replicate his form to cap off a brilliant season for both club and country.
    Wayne Rooney is suspended for Englands group games against France and Swedan,but his inclusion suggests that he is still miles ahead of any other Englosh striker. Welbeck and Carroll are young strikers who have no experience at this level,and Jermain Defoe is far from the quality of a Van Persie or Gomez,so Rooney finds himself carrying the burden of a nation once again.
    Cleverley hasn’t played enough to push for a place in the side as he picked up an injury which kept him out for large parts of the season.
