Play five at the back, with Johnson and Cole attacking forward, supporting the three central midfielders, who in turn can also play wide (Milner and Beckham) with Gerro playing a holding Role and supporting Lamps, who will be supporting Wayne Rooney.


Discuss? Is my Team BS?


Whose your first 11 and formation?

Beckham starting, no way. A bit player now good to come on when players are tired; game needs slowing down (ie we're winning) or to breakdown/chanfge play. No way a start but in the squad yes. I'd take Crouch too and not C.Cole (I said it)
Walcott for his pace if properly fit. Suspect Heskey will make cut because of lack of competition, for this reason wouldn't disregard Carlton Cole. Rule Ashley Young out. See what late candidates get picked for the friendly against Egypt - think there a few places still up for grabs.

milner's an excellent squad player, but he won't start, and certainly not ahead of a fit lennon

I am confused.com over Rio Ferdinand getting the captains armband?


Surely Gerrard. But, his role is much more tamed than the one his plays at Liverpool. I wish England would of given Gerrard the free role to boss the central midfield and push forward to support the strikers. This however, will not happen, with Lampard and Rooney in the squad, as they both too have more of a free role in the England set up, which restricts Gerrard. Gerrard, I hope in certain games, especially for the right games, can be given this free role, which nine times out of time, displays why he is World Class.


Capello has done two things, which Mc'Clown didn't (McClaren)


* Hardcore Discipline during England duty. No Ego's when Capello's in charge.

* Players sticking to the their positions and keeping to their tactics.


But I am not confident for our chances. Our midfield attacking wingers lack any real solid world class potential. It's all very good, having plenty of pace and fancy stepovers. But an attacking winger needs to have composure and the ability to stay on the bloody wing and not drift into the centre of the pitch.


Lennon is very hit and miss, he had a terrible 08/09 season. Things have picked up for him in the Prem this season, but to be fair those were games against Wigan and Bolton right? - maybe I am being too harsh.


The same goes for SWP, Ashely Young, Walcott, Joe Cole, Plenty of potential, but far from World Class. However, without contridicting myself too much, James Milner has some real heart and desire, to push foward, get into a tackle and his goal/assist ratio is pretty impressive. He's 100% worth a punt.

Is Cheryl Cole a linesperson


With Simon Cowell as Chief Referee & dressing room motivator ?

Oh now we are getting somewhere




W**F

This is my XI


GK: Anyone with a pair of gloves


RB: G.Johnson

CH: Rio

CH: Terry

LB: A.Cole


RM: Lennon

CM: Gerrard

CM: Joe Cole

LM: Young


CF: Defoe

CF: Rooney


Subs: Beckham, Lampard, Micah Richards


BTW, Wes Brown will only be going to WC if it's to clean boots ;-)


Ultimately if England are to win World Cup (rather than maybe reach semi final) they need to sacrifice a little physical presence for natural skill and that is why I'd select Joe Cole in the heart of midfield as for all the Hollywood passes offered by Lampard, Carrick, Beckham and Barry it will not be enough to fox the world's elite countries.

We have a great first 11 and our squad do have players who have the potential to shine at the World Cup. However can we win the world cup? Probably not. But it won't be for the reason over who will be our captain! We have plenty of leaders of the pitch, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard, Terry. So for the whole captain debate, it doesn't really materr who has the armband on.


The reason, why we won't win the world cup is that we give the ball away to easily, we don' keep the high tempo game and we get dictated by opposition to often in the big games. I can't remember the last entertaining game, I've seen England play, since we beat Germany 5-1. Our team is made up more of talented individuals and we fail to play like a team who gel well together and who defend and attack like a team.


I hope Capello put's a banning order on the WAGS. They can turn after we win the world cup. That for me seems fair.

    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved
