Right Then.

Where The Fuck Do I Start With That Shamble Of A Squad.

Well Lets Start With Walcott. Omfg Not One Appearance In The Epl.
Campbell Totally Lost The Pace He Once Had, And His Performances Have Been Crap Recently.
Jenas = Injured Why The Fuck Pick Him When There Is A Doubt He Might Not Make It.
Bent Wtf? Top English Epl Scorer And Not Even In The Fucking Standby Squad, Nm The Actual Squad.
Swp Feel Sorry For The Lad, Chelski Totally Screwed Him Over.

Could Name A Few More, But Totally Pissed Off.

The Walcott decision...smacks of "I'm leaving after this World Cup so I can afford to take wierd chances". Its pretty bizarre tbh, although Wenger thinks he's the mutt's nuts. Ridiculous about Darren Bent, but I reckon Eriksson is thinking Owen/Joe Cole up front with Crouch as a sub to confuse, which isn't the worst strategy in the world.

I think there's enough quality in the side without Rooney (*sob*) to get through the group stages, but without that extra something, I can't see them going any further with this squad.

I have no problem with Theo going he is an absolute talent, think back to when Owen burst onto the scene he had only scored 1 goal for Liverpool, Walcott has Pace amazing balance and the ability to score goals. he is a perfect replacement for Owen because no one will know how to deal with him.

I have a problem with Jenas and Hargreaves and Sol Campbell, why the Hell Darren Bent is not even being talked about is ridiculous, it says something that you can be the top scoring Englishman in the season before the WC and not even get a look in. Jenas is not world class yet either. I am looking forward to Svens crap tactics.

bent's not got enough quality for international

hargreaves versatility is useful, if it wasn't him it'd be phil neville.

defoe should have been in the squad.

won't get past the group stage.

I would take Neville every time over Hargreaves, Defoe should have been in it I agree

How can Bent not be England quality when he wasn't given a chance ?
and scoring 20 + goals in the EPL with a shit team is damn good going.

Hargreaves is a good utlility player, and slightly more attacking minded than phil neville.

I don't think it's that bad a squad given the options. Can't say I'd want defoe or bent to go, they just don't cut it for me. Walcott could be interesting. I think Richardson should have been in the squad as well.

phil neville is one of the worst players ever to grace professional football. in fact, he's nearly as bad as trevor benjamin. and that's bad. oh and he looks a tad special too. hargreaves is a key player for bayern munich and has won shitloads there, he's just never been much cop for england. in terms of versatility, i'd take him.

bent had a chance against uruguay and looked totally lost. twenty goals for charlton is a good achievement but it doesn't make him international quality. defoe however has shown his quality in the past and his season at spurs has only been hindered by keane's excellent form and jol's preference for a big man/little man strike combo.

not that any of it matters, we'll be out by the second round.

we'll dick paraguay, raising expectations with the whole country believing we'll win the world cup then we'll lose to surprise package trinidad & tobago in an embarassing manner then struggle agaisnt sweden and lose 1-0.

place your bets.

Love it when people have no clue what they are talking about Phil Neville is not bad by any means.

However i will not call you a retard due to the fact your prediction sounds about right. It will be funny when the papers are saying were going to win it after we beat the crappiest team in our group.. like they have done for the past 3-4 world cups.

i'll watch the Brazil games they have more style and make football fun to watch with all the tricks they pull out.

Phil Neville has won more than Hargreaves, he has certainly done more aswell :p

I would have liked Richardson to have been in the frame

Whats wrong with him? he doesn't cause trouble he gets on the pitch and does his job very well.. hes not a star player hes a backup player and he does that well.

He can play defense/midfield and we are going to need him so like it.. or get the fuck out!

Well, he gave away an awful penalty against the Romanians in the last world cup(I think), he can't defend, he can't attack and he can't tackle. Hes a total wank stain.

Hows that?

Neville is an arse of a player.

trem just summed it up.

i remember him playing well for manyoo once though, think it was in midfield against the scousers a few years back.

mind you hargreaves is a kraut, so perhaps neville would be the lesser of two evils.

Hargreaves is also a bit shite. Can't remember him ever doing well for England.

We miss Scholes and thats the truth, Gerrard and Lampard always seem to cancel each other out for England as well and Beckham is now struggling.

I agree that we won't get past the group stages, its a final fuck you from Sven if you ask me.

Bent should of been picked as well btw.

That was Euro 2000, when we were managed by the medias choice King Kev. TBH I think neville deserved to be banned permanently from international football from that point.

Onto the england squad, I have to say that it is a shocking squad esp with this new quote from the BBC.
BBC said:
England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has admitted he picked Arsenal teenager Theo Walcott for the World Cup despite never having seen him play a match.
I have no prob with hargreaves in the squad, he is a useful utility player, but picking just 4 strikers seems criminal, you'd never guess sven was out of the job come august would you......

Looks like hes picking a squad that will play 4-5-1 if not Owen + Rooney is 100% fit. Play with a defensive inner fielder and both Lampard and Gerrard in front of him and you have pretty ok attacking without 2 forwards.

Wow you have convinced me now. Pray tell why my summary sucked and support it with anything worthwhile that neville has ever done.

Aye and don't forget that 2 of the strikers are injured.
