Rooney is England's best player, the other strikers are not on his level (Owen isn't going to be fit, its a fact)
The ability of the other players is irrelevant if they have no outlet |

Defoe should have went over Walcott. Really weird decision, I'd be pretty sick if I'd been busting a gut for the last 4 years only for some Arsenal big money signing to take your place at the last minute having doing basically nothing but shine for a few games in the Championship.

Kinda feel bad for Bent, he at least deserved to be on standby. How the fuck Andy Johnson gets picked ahead of him I'll never know. His time will come though.
BTW Flair Wooo kindly shut the fuck up, you're an embarrassment. |

No, Rooney is great and your other options are shit. That's why you have no chance.

I would argue England have very little chance with Rooney anyway, they just have even less if he doesn't go

Well as someone who has stuck up for Sven a lot in the past i can only say this:
why the fuck is Walcott going ahead of the likes of Bent? He may have bags of potential but christ, at least wait until he's played a premiership game. I saw him for Southampton here in November and Gerrbrand had him in his pocket pretty much the whole time, and that's a defender who's been quite poor since December. Walcott had no concept of timing his runs either.Quite pleased Aaron Lennon is in ahead of SWP though. Carson or Kirkland should be going ahead of Green too, but i suppose that's not vital. |

I wouldn't quite agree that we will have "nothing going forward" since in Frank Lampard we have aruguably one of the best goalscoring midfielders in the world, who scores more than a lot of strikers. Plus Gerrard, Joe Cole and Beckham who can all chip in with goals.
Their stats for this season: Lampard: 20 goals (Chelsea's top scorer) Gerrard: 21 goals (Liverpool's top scorer) Joe Cole: 10 goals Rooney got 19 goals this season. |

I don't have paypal or anything but i'd take that bet
since he's on penalties for a start plus he was second top scorer behind Rooney for us at Euro 2004.

I reckon he'll score, but any good manager will just tell the defence and midfielders to step up and press the England midfield, they aren't gonna be able to hit 25 yarders under constant pressure, and they wont have a quick striker with good positional sense to break the offside trap (at least not 100% fit, on the ball strikers)

Is the FA Cup gonna be a PPV thing? It's not on FSC on Saturday and I highly doubt it'd be on ESPN.

UEFA Final should be fun, Sevilla are decent and will probably go 2-3 up before McClaren decides to throw everything forward for the last 20 minutes.
At least, that's going on the last couple rounds. |

Yeah, probably. UEFA Cup finals are generally pretty entertaining. More so IMO than the last few Champions League finals (exception being last year, of course)
This year's Champions League final is salivating though, but it will probably be 0-0 till the 114th minute .

I bet you didn't have a better Crouch song then ours, 'He's tall, he's shit, he doesn't fit his kit.' and does the circus know your here. Did Dale see your Argie top? Also Gerrard scoring 21 is a shit arguement and you know it, TNS for fuck sake. Lampard shoots way too much, anything less then 20 goals would be a dissapointment, at one point he'd had over FOUR times as many shots as Crespo and scored two more. Think he'd had 58 shots at the time, it's about learning when to shoot, and Lampard hasn't grasped that yet, he literally shoots as often as he can, even when he knows it's got no chance of going anywhere Quote:

The BBC site only had goals in all competitions, I am not that arsed to go looking for his league goals tally. Plus he didn't score all 21 goals against TNS did he?
And I know Lampard shoots too much and I know anyone with sense would pressure him to stop him but the thing is, he still scores and teams don't do that to him. I'm not denying that losing Rooney is a blow but it is ridiculous to claim that we're nothing without him, England are far from being a one man team. The keeper is decent, the defence contain some of the best players in Europe, as does the midfield which as i've already said is more than capable of scoring the odd goal. I don't think we'll win the world cup but some of you are going proper over the top. Would any of you be saying "oooh Brazil are fucked, they'll be lucky to get out of their group." if Ronaldinho got crocked, or "Argentina will get found out as soon as they come up against anyone decent" if Messi got injured? No, because they have more than enough decent squad players to fill in. |

I don't get to watch a lot of the Premier League so excuse me for waiting til there's one game left in the season but good lord Arsenal's yellow jerseys are hideous. I really hope they don't have to wear those against Barcelona because the red ones are so much better.

Not sure who the 'home' team is, might be Arsenal since they're closer to Paris. Which would mean Barca's neon yellow vs Arsenal's redcurrent. Yikes.
