Mick Mac Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 True. And I like the sound of Sir Knobby Stiles too. I didn't see the England game last night but twitter said Tom Rogic (Celtic) had a good game in the Aussie midfield. Well done to Rashford again - it's going to be hard not to take him.

I recall the Arse did this some years ago and not particularly successfully. I'm sure I read the would have to pay something in the region of ?15M to stay there for a season. Makes you wonder how WH got away with blue murder paying ?1.something M for the Olympic Stadium.

Otta Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Yeah Arsenal did it late 90s, I think because they wanted to flog more tickets than they could at Highbury. Problem was Highbury was a narrow pitch, and the old Wembley a wide one, so they struggled to play their normal defensive game (I don't mean their overall game and style was at all defensive in those days, but they were very solid at the back when at home).

Jah Lush Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I think we can fill it. We've 50,000 on the waiting list for season tickets. Yeah, one-nil to the Arsenal. God they were boring. Successful, but it was like watching paint dry. So give Arsene Wenger some credit, he got them playing very attractive football. Arsenal fans wanting rid of him know nothing about the game. Careful what you wish for.Yeah, the West Ham fiasco stinks. It isn't what I pay my tax for.

Jah Lush Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Yeah.Anyway, I've just watched I Believe In Miracles, the remarkable story of Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest team that went from second division mid-table mediocrity to the champions of Europe in a few seasons. Absolutely brilliant. If you haven't seen it watch it. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Otta Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 No room for Drinkwater in the final squad. I'd be pretty hacked off if I was him after a season like that.

Jah Lush Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I disagree. He's what Eric Cantona would describe as a 'water carrier'. In the two games he's played for England I don't think he's done enough to warrant a place in the squad. Some of the other players you could say have been a bit lucky because of their fitness levels (Sturridge, Henderson and Wilshire) but they are better players than Drinkwater. It's Townsend I feel sorry for. He's never let Roy down and has always done the business when he's put on an England shirt and he was unlucky to miss out at the last World Cup because of injury and he's been bang in form unlike Raheem Sterling whose form has been very poor throughout all of last season but has got in ahead of him.

Otta Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'll be surprised if Sturridge gets any minutes unless someone else gets injured. It'll be Vardy and Kane with Rashford as the impact sub.

red devil Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wilshere, Henderson and Sturridge are all unfit and extremely lucky to be included. When we've gone to tournaments before with unfit players it's usually backfired. I don't think whether a player is more talented counts for anything if they're unfit, have we not learned from Rooney in the past? I would've gone for Townsend instead of Sturridge, he's got something different, can play out wide, dribble and beat players, good free-kicks. We don't have any naturally wide players now. Also would've had Drinkwater in for Henderson. He has a good understanding with Vardy and the runs he makes for long through balls.The biggest concern though is the defence, we haven't got one...

Jah Lush Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah, the defence worries me, especially where we haven't a naturally left-sided centre back to give them more balance. They all went to play on the right side. I think any of our midfielders can put a ball over the top for Vardy. It isn't a difficult pass to see.
