Is Roy Hodgson a manuphile?
Hodgson seems to have made a mistake, he has selected a Manchester City player. Smalling, Cleverley, Welbeck are all in the side even though they are only play first team football occasionally. Jones would be there too if he didn't have shingles. I expect Hart to be replaced at half time.

I am desperately trying (and failing) to care about England. As a Mancunian ex-pat in the wilds of the East Midlands, I probably am more exercised about Notts County and the need to replace Keith Curle. The fact that we have fewer players in the England team and United have more is something I see as a bonus. In a perfect world City's squad would all spend international match breaks in a jacuzzi.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Jeff. Look what the Olympics did to Micah! But it does gall me that Hodgson is so far up Ferguson's r's, he and Clattenberg must be struggling for room. Don't be suprised if he recalls Beckham after the way he selected Gerrard and Lampard even though they are 35, yet no place for Gaz Baz who is probably playing the best football of his career. I can't help feeling that Hodgson was the FA's choice because he'd do what was asked of him, whereas Harry was his own man. Incidentally, was Wiltshire really as good as Talksport made him out to be?
ReplyDeleteTony. Good job I understand football. Otherwise Talksport would have convinced me this morning that England were going to win the World Cup.
ReplyDeleteNeil, Talksports debate at around 4.30pm was about Hart's double penalty save. One presenter reckoned it was a bruilliant save, yet Darren Gough a United fan, thought he just guessed right. Hart could have seriously injured himself making that save and for what, to ensure that the win meant that everyone else received praise.
ReplyDeleteTony, being a lorry driver I listen to the radio a lot. On TalkSport I don't mind Keys and Gray although I feel it's about 30 mins. of content padded out to three hours with repeats adverts and trailers. I find Hawkesby and Jacobs very entertaining with a mixture of jokes and knowledge, but I stay clear of the two buffoons who come on at 4.00 pm. One talks down his nose and the other one down his bottom.
DeleteHeh-Heh
DeleteAnd the hype continues. In the Sun, Frank Lampard reckons that "the Brazilians couldn't handle us" whilst Wiltshire says "I can't win the world cup on my own." As Lord Melched once said "thank the Lord for the joy of laughter."
ReplyDeleteGiven fergie's rant yesterday about Stuart Pearce and Phil Jones being fit for United tomorrow seems that United were lying when they said he was unfit with shingles. Isn't there a rule about not being allowed to play the next club game if you miss an international. Shingles can leave you feeling that you were hit by a bus. The pain can register on your face where you can assume a far away, half soaked, semi detached and rather stupid set of features...... hey wait a minute.
