I will credit you for your humour.

Milner has played several games in midfield while Arshavin has been forced to play out of position because of Van Persie's injuries.

If we are going to go on stats, Anderson is the worst 'attacking' midfielder in the history of the Prem. How many Prem goals has he scored?



If managers made decisions using that logic, then Gary Neville would never have reached 10 caps.

Sgain, I point you in the direction of what Capello said. Bridge is/was rated by Mourinho, Sven and Capello. Sorry, who are you?

well shut the boards down, opinions outlawed by EE.

Rated as the best of a bad bunch after Cole?

But you won't take Alex Ferguson's judgement ahead of your own on right wingers? He doesn't seem to bad at that manager malarkey so I'm going to take his opinion of yours.

Fair enough.

Just when has Bridge made all these star performances though? His girlfriend had more interaction with the first team than he did there. Something like 80 games in 6 years there.

He signs for City, not playing well enough to warrant a call up IMO then retires from playing for England. He's hardly playing in a way that suggests England would miss him and IMO he wouldn't be under consideration by Capello had he not been playing for Chelsea. He certainly hasn't lived up to the promise he showed early on in his career.

Baines is playing brilliantly and is fully fit. His performances in the victories over Man City, Chelsea and Man United were fantastic. Their wide players got very little change from him and he was very involved going forward too. I don't see what more he has to do. If he carries his form on until the end of the season I don't see how he could fail to be in the squad. If the World Cup was next week he'd surely be playing. Cole will obviously be first choice if he gets back from his injuries and the devestation of losing Miss Tweedy.

If i was Bridge, i would have gone to the first England camp and snapped Terry in half.

Cos you iz rock hard ye?

Its not about being rock hard. Unless you are spinless and wouldnt mind someone knocking off your wife k?

Harder than that Cockney c*nt, yes.

My wife loves me and would never touch another man, ever. Itso Facto.

Oh.

Lescott had a dodgy start at City but was improving by the game up to his injury. Since his return he's been even better. I cant say that I've seen much of Baines but I would definitely have had Lescott in the squad ahead of Bridge.

She wasn't his wife.
