Do it. The APL (Azzy Premier League).

Are you telling me Kevin Curran isn't playing anymore?

He's not breathing any more.

1 England captain steps down.

Shame its only Gerrard.

I had no idea Curran had died, what a bad example to use

England are going to be stuffed in central midfield. No Gerrard, Lampard, Barry or Milner. We now get:

Henderson (average)
Wilshere (marginally above average)
Barkley (creative, but can't defend)
Oxo Cube (good, but not really a CM)
Lallana (average, better out wide)

Not much going on there. I feel sorry for Roy.

I like Henderson and Wilshere as a pair.

But we all know it's time for Mark Noble.

We probably have to look a little deeper too, some players like Ward-Prowse, Hughes, Thorne (who I don't get why you sold, Azzy) might all come through in good time.

We sold Thorne because we brought in Gary Gardner on a free. A free transfer always trumps homegrown talent, especially English talent.

Yet another example of Albion's stupidity.

Proven further by our 'capture' of the Nigerian Shola Ameobi, Brown Ideye. Ignore the fact that Ameobi is, himself, Nigerian, it's the worst signing in football history, never mind Albion history. WTFFF.

TOM CLEVERLEY!!!!

Gary Gardner works at my Museum, I meant Craig   

Thorne had a handful of good games and got hyped to the moon because hes English. WBA got a good price

Wad prowse is a no brainer , also jack cork should get a look In.
It's whoever partners Wilshire in my opinion

Butland
Flanagan - Stones - Cahill - Shaw
Oxo-Cube - Wilshere
Walcott - Barkley - Sterling
Sturridge

Subs: Hart, Jones, Ward-Prowse, Lallana, Townsend, Rooney, Jay Rodriguez

Cricket is such an awful sport i don't even watch it when it's world cup. Test cricket is the worst, block block block miss miss block block one run.

England need to bring in Monty Panesar and maybe they'll have a chance but if I'm honest England are really Poopie at Cricket.

You've forgot to put Rooney in the England side.

One day maybe Jack Rodwell will be fit for 5 minutes and show what he can do. He'll need to get away from City though.

I hate England fans, after we're knocked out of a tournament a United player is always blamed.

I bet Azzy and Afro were vying for Beckhams blood back in 98 but loved him after Greece 01. Where were you when he needed support?

I think your second comment proves your first comment and how long since you paid any real attention.

Ignoring his off the field problems, his performances in the last 2 years have been so poor he got ditched by Sussex and now he can't even get a game for Essex. That alone means he is nowhere near good enough anymore, add in his off the field antics and he has no chance of playing for England again

VivaPaulScholes wrote:You've forgot to put Rooney in the England side.

Rooney is a great player on form, but England are a better side without him.

Bring back Freddie.

He can be captain too.

No and no. His treatment after 98 was disgusting, especially after his performances before the Argentina game. And I didn't love him after Greece either, I think his performance in that game was overhyped. He ran around a lot and showed passion, and then hit a worldie free kick.

Butland isn't even that good tbh.

I would have ROoney in there ahead of Barkley at the moment. Barkley is still too niaive, whilst Rooney was probably the pick of a poor bunch at the World Cup. I would actually make Rooney captain tbh

I don't think Hart is that good, and I never really have...

I'm joking about Monty.

Last time England played without Rooney was back in 2002. They've gone slightly backwards since then but I wouldn't say that good enough reason to drop Rooney.

He showed passion, what do Gerrard and Lampard show? Eff all, Beckham gave his heart out for England but nobody valued him. I reckon you should show love and respect to Beckham.

For me, England are worse when they accommodate Rooney. And realistically we aren't going to be competitive while Rooney is still good, so to me it makes little sense to continue building our side around him.

DARLOW!

I don't have a problem with Beckham. Wasn't the greatest player ever, but always gave his all for England.

So many points:

1. Rooney was pants yet again for England. He is dire for his national team. Zero effort or desire shown. He needs to be put out to pasture.

2. I've always hated David Beckham, I didn't need Diego Simeone to give me a reason and the Greece game (where England were mullered by Greece!) was over-hyped. He scored a free kick. Big whoop.

3. I'm an Essex fan, I don't want Monty playing for us, never mind England.

4. If United players performed to their ability, concentrated on their football and actually gave their 100% commitment to the team, there'd be no reason to complain about them. Rooney was more concerned with his wife and her 18 suitcases than he was in preparing for WORLD CUP GAMES. He's a selfish moron. I'd rather have James Milner starting for England.

Ah, the "passion" argument.

Passion doesn't win as many games as goals and playing well do. John Terry had great passion too.

You must have a real thing about people being anti United, but your just as bad in reverse these days. You used to be quite rational.

Lampard and Gerrard have showed passion and been good performers for England too. As much as you telling people they should show Beckham more respect, you should show Lampard and Gerrard more respect.

I would have as much passion as anyone if I played for England or for Everton. Doesn't mean I think they should pick me.

Dropping in a casual reminder that tactics are due into Soddy by midnight

New video from JJ Abrams shows an Episode VII X-Wing. I hate it. That's not an X-Wing. It's something else.

Mind you, when has Rooney showed passion playing for England. I remember him getting frustrated. I remember him swearing about England fans, but I don't remember him being passionate.

Beckham yes, Rooney not really

I thought this earlier, I miss more reasonable Viva that took a unbiased view.

I reckon it's because we lost the other United fan and he feels like someone has to argue for them regardless of subject.

Or since United started to struggle a bit?
 
If he supported Everton or West Ham, he would have been used to disappointment and been able to criticise his team at will

He should support a club where the second highest premier league goalscorer is Carlton Cole. And the top scorer is a left back.

Because it's too easy catching fish.

By the way Mighty I'll be doing tactics around half 8.

Seems too easy an excuse to me.

You have just lost all concept of rationale thought in my opinion. It's almost like your turning into a woman

Hahaha.

Patrice Evra has left United what a player and what a man. Hard to get foreign players who truly love a club and the fans. I'll miss him.

Why are United selling a passionate player like Evra?

It'll take Shaw years to get to that level of passion.

He can start by wooing his teammates wife

Or leading an impromptu strike at a World Cup.

He's about the same age as Olly isn't he.

A teenage boys idea of trying to impress a girl is flashing her his todger on webcam. Or taking her to the circus
