AshtonGreat Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 This month's England at Euro 2016 special. On the cover, Sterling, Barkley and bloody Rooney. 'Time to show 'em what we're made of, lads!' **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 What's the problem? Normally we wait until after the tournament before turning on the national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 England expects. As ever.. Hart Clyne - Smalling - Stones - Rose Alli - Dier - Wilshere Vardy - Kane - Sterling. Knowing Woy he will play Rooney in CF, Carrick in CM solely to pass backwards and bring in Barry for a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's captain so kind of had to be featured on the cover, but I've had enough of the Rooney hype now. We've had it before the last four tournaments and he never delivers. And Sterling and Barkley are not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hart clyne, smelling, Cahill, rose Dier, Milner Rooney, Alli, Vardy Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Bet Woy plays bloody Milner as well as Rooney. Way too cautious to get the best of the youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I will back England of course, but we didn't win the Euros back in the 80s with far superior players - Shilton, Walker, Robson, Lineker, Gascoinge, Waddle, Hoddle etc we ain't going to do it with a past his best Rooney and some distinctly average players mixed with some untried if promising youngsters. We should concentrate on beating Wales otherwise Cardiff will have a new song when they visit us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Well in the World Cup the great tactical magician had Sterling in the no.10 shirt and Rooney on the left wing so anything is possible. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with this time. For me Rooney is a 'maybe' and I would be quite happy to see the headless chicken that is Sterling left at home.

Super Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Fed up with people going on about John Stones he isn't very good! Ok he might be in a few years but nowhere near ready for a major finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think ANYONE is going on about John Stones at the moment, kid has talent but is woefully out of form and is Bambi on ice. Smalling and Cahill is the best bit this summer.

And Sterling and Barkley are not good enough I'd say the anti-Rooney hype now outweighs the Rooney hype. It's almost become the default position to say Rooney is overrated. From what I've seen there's been a lot more talk about Kane and Vardy this season than there has about Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the fans maybe, but you can't help thinking that the media have been waiting for Rooney to get fit again so they can roll out the usual 'Wayne will save us' nonsense.

Mad Cyril Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Butland, Shaw, G Johnson, Henderson, oxlade-chamberlain, Wilshere, Ings and Zaha would be among my starting picks. Has Anderton retired? Wouldn't do any harm to our chances of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 If I am honest there is only 3 teams I can confidently say are better than us going into the tournament - France, Spain and Germany. Why the hell cant we at least get to the semi finals there are so many poor teams that have qualified IMO. You have the overrated Belgium who remind me of the golden generation, an aging Italy side who still rely on Buffon and Pirlo. Portugal have had some awful results in qualifying. I just dont see why we cant go far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about both the media and the fans. It's not as though the media haven't mentioned Jamie Vardy this season is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
