Why didn't he just ask Sheringham after the game why he didn't shake his hand instead of acting like a child about it.

EE will be knocking out another one over De Jong tonight.

He broke Stuart Holden's leg last night in a challenge which was far worse that the one which Ramsey broke his leg in. His punishment. A free kick. The ref was 5m from the the challenge. De Jong dived in, he was late, his studs went right into Holden's shin and the ref did nothing over it. Well done FIFA, you've really improved the standard of reffing.



Edit: He was booked. Stupid ESPN didn't show the booking, they must have been showing a replay of the incident at the time and only had notification of the card flash underneath the score.

Didn't watch England the other night was at the evening's premier football clash of FCUM v Ossett Town but Carrick has got on my nerves lately. He is so sideways it's criminal, his set piece delivery is generally dire, can't remember him taking control of a game this season. He is the definition of nothingness for me. In all honesty the same can be said for most of United's midfield apart from Fletcher and Giggs.

Baines wasn't poor. Graeme Le Saux said today on the radio that he was very impressed with him and it was a very impressive performance that should have pushed him to the front of the queue to backup Ashley Cole, praising his tactical discipline when those in the other defensive positions weren't doing so well (Upson and Brown).

Please, please, please tell me you didn't write that you'd pick Nicky Shorey ahead of Leighton Baines? I'm positive you didn't write that, it surely can't be right. If it is, I'll have whatever you've been taking.

Agree with that apart from Barry (depends who else is fit) and Milner (I like him and would definitely take him to SA, just not sure if he'd be the best option on the left wing). Barry has been solid under Capello but has been pretty average this season. I'd play a fit Hargreaves over him but sadly, I can't see him making it.

The team has to be built around Rooney and if that means dropping the big man alongside him like Capello seems to favour then it should be done. The formation Man Utd have been playing in recent months is something that England could easily replicate but I can't see Capello opting for it. Ideally, I'd like to see Gerrard (more advanced) and Lampard (sitting a little deeper but still getting forward) in the middle playing in front of a holding midfielder with Lennon on the right and a fit Joe Cole on the left. Before his injury he'd been England's best player for the previous two years and it's really sad that he can't even get into the squad at the moment. Never been a massive fan of Downing but he's been impressive for Villa and I'd be tempted to give him another chance if he carries on playing the way he is.

www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Sh ... 44097.html Wright claimed chief executive Cook and football administration officer Marwood are “full of themselves“ in a withering attack which must raise serious question marks about Wright-Phillips’ career at Eastlands. The serious questions asked about his career are because he ain't a top 4 player, not because his dad's a clickhead.

A clickhead huh? Thats new. He is though, he is a clickhead.

Barry's one of those players who makes good players around him play better. His problem at City has been that he's been asked to do a lot more than that and isnt really up to it. One of our weaknesses is that we do not have a dominant midfield player in the Lampard or Gerrard mould. I wouldnt take his City form (other than that he had his best game of the season at the weekend) as an indicator of how well he'd play for England.

Whilst one Owen is ruled out for the season and the World Cup, another is to make his comeback on Thursday against City, it's a shame the darts is on at MEN that night, I wouldn't have minded a trip to see the game.

Oh Owen Hargreaves....
