To paraphrase - "If you're good enough you're (old)experienced enough". Also he's played more U-21 games than Campbell or Cleverly and has faced good enough top players not to be fazed/scared by the Dutch.


I think Pearce wants him in the U-21s because he is still their manager and really wants a victory in their next game against Belgium (as this is what he feels he will be judged on).


Shortsighted.

I'm not what Pearce's logic is. If he's good enough he's old enough surely. How many of the squad are going to play just a bit part during the 90 minutes? Quite a few I'd imagine. Exposing OC to the national team environment would be a good thing even if he didn't play at all. From what previous internationls have written, it takes time to get used to it. So the sooner he starts the sooner he will make an impact. Maybe he is thinking, look what happened to Walcott. He hasn't really progressed as much as expected. Incorrect though to assume that the same thing would apply to OC.

No doubt Rooney is a class act. But he has a tendency to play deep than to lead the attack. If Rooney isn't on form then England struggle to get the goals. Fraizer Campbell, on the hand, is a player with all-round abilities.


ETA: One class striker is not enough imo.

Shearer and Sheringham were a good 'double act'.

Rooney and Welbeck, although different players to SAS, could work for England too as they have plenty of time to cement their partnership/understanding at Utd.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Wilshire and Cleverly get on, once they are both off the treatment table...

This might sound scary for RD but there may be a time when the England midfielders comprises entirely of Arsenal youngsters. With Lansbury/Frimpong and Wilshire in central areas and O-C and Walcott on the flanks. Apparently, Lansbury has been playing well for West Ham on loan.

Perish the thought. For starters Walcott is a shit Aaron Lennon. Are you a Gooner in disguise?

Actually it wouldn't bother me, especially if it meant England became a team of world beaters.

I think out of those five only the Ox and Wilshire look the biz at the moment.

L'Arse's problem is holding onto their decent players, and failure to get into the top four will exacerbate this...

McEachran & Wilshire are my real preferences for the central midfield positions.


Walcott lacks a football brain but his pace will always give defenders something to think about. He gets the nod over Lennon purely because of his ability for scoring goals for England. However, I do wonder if Theo's days are numbered at Arsenal with emergence of Ryo Miyaichi, currently on loan to Bolton.

You didn't even mention Spurs. That is taking magnanimous to a new level.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
