Good News for England

Owen out

The choice of national squads tends to be way too conservative in my opinion, sticking with "tried and tested" players rather than giving someone a chance. That's why I applauded Erikson's choice of playing Rooney.

Now all we need now is that lump Heskey to get crocked.

Beattie and Rooney!

Owen out

I think you'll reconsider this after the Turks send the English side home early.

Oh for ****'s sake.

I've always said that Rooney is badly over-rated and I'll keep saying it until he does something, anything, to prove me wrong. He flew of the handle in an aburdly childish way against Spurs last week, if that's the kind of immature temperament he has then the turks will eat him alive in Istanbul. He's all potential and media hype, with very little actual delivery. He's still a kid and will hopefully be a world-class player in 5 or 6 years. To try and pretend that he's even close to that now is a joke.

Beattie is a good club player, but hasn't made the step to the international game yet. He deserves a few more chances, but I'm not sure if this is the best game for it. However, if Owen is injured then we have very little choice.

Heskey is just rubbish.

I see no reason other than your anti-Liverpool bias to suggest that Owen's injury is a good thing for England.

Heskey is just rubbish.

Very true.

I see no reason other than your anti-Liverpool bias to suggest that Owen's injury is a good thing for England.

He's a moron as well. Don't forget that reason.

If we are playing the same front two from a side, then that side should be really banging in the goals. Are Liverpool?

[Solly]

I'd actually like to see Alan Smith, Rooney and Beattie up top. A good fiery forward line is what we need in Turkey.

To paraphrase a certain charming little song... "I'd rather be a Turk than a Parkey"

You are obviously correct in your spoiler.
