He might be the most marketable footballer on the planet & England's Captain Fantastic, blah,blah,blah...
BUT he gets my goat big style.
I see before the match with Uruguay he let people know the sort of Manager England should have next,how Sven should'nt be going and he still expects to be Captain for the next Manager.
What a pompous prat
I would'nt even have him in the team,never mind captain it!
The last 2 tournaments he went to injured through sheer vanity,played like a turkey & did nothing to help our cause.
He only wants Sven to stay cos he has Sven in his back pocket.
Today Big Sam Allardyce had a dig at him saying why can't he be Manager of England & the FA have had to issue a statement saying he was mis-quoted!
What bollocks...
Throw him out so he can concentratr on being famous,make john Terry skipper & put Wright=Phillips on the wing.
Thats my plan anyways

I'm English and I love it when the English football team loses. They main players are absolute c*nts: Beckham, Rooney, Ferdinand, Neville, Cole. Arrogant, overestimating their own ability, ignorant, moronic, petulant, embarrassing, disgraceful. Anyone but England when it comes to football.

Beckham's the worst in terms of speaking out. In football (soccer), the "captain" is no more than a glorified cheerleader, he has no input into team selection or tactics. He's just a motivator. he's not supposed to get into the business of picking his next boss!

On the other hand, the England cricket team are all great lads, and doing well in India at the moment.

Okay then. Put together your own English team if the current team isn't the right one.

I'll give you mine:

----Don't know------Terry------Woodgate-------Bridge

------Beckham---------Hargreaves--------Gerrard
---------------------Lampard

---------------Owen--------------Shearer

My own team eh?
Oooooh this is good

Robinson,

G.Neville, Terry (capt), Campbell, A. Cole,

Parker,
Gerrard, Lampard, J. Cole,

Rooney & Owen


There you go!
world Cup Winners by a country mile

I don't mind Beckham as a player. The stuff outside of football I don't like but his football has been good recently and I think that's what matters. As a crosser of the ball and a set peice guy he's one of the best. I think he's certainly got the passion and generally leads by example. But the new school of thought on Captains have to be more than that they have to be organising on the pitch and that involves being quite vociferous. I like my Captains from the back and JT fits that mold perfectly.

My back up right winger wouldn't even be SWP. It'd be Jermaine Pennant. He provides great width, pace and is one of the purest crossers of the ball I've seen. I'd even go as far as to say he's the best first touch crosser in the Premiership.

On England manager, for me, Big Sam's the man. Taking little Bolton into Europe is the equivelent Morinho taking Chelsea to the top of the Premiership, if not more. I've been a fan of Allardyce for a while now. I think he learned a lot from his time in America and has adopted their scientific sporting approach to his game.

Oh and maybe if he did have a foreign name - Alladice (all-a-dee-chey), he may be offered higher Premiership jobs.

He is one of the favoutites for the Newcastle job (Allardyce that is,not Bechham )
But the Toon Army want Roeder to get it...
He has'nt put a foot wrong yet....
But our next 3 games are Man. Utd. Liverpool & Chelsea.
The Acid Test as it were!

I hope roeder gets the job, he deserves it and so does the team. i recently heard rumours that newcastle utd were losing gameson purpose because they all despised their old manager. Anyway, the reality is we have a top team and its all coming together now. EUROPE HERE WE COME!!!!
