But one of their centre halves - Onyewu - has been injured all year. He's just come back. On his day, he's a rock. On a bad day, he's like Bambi on ice.

I'd be happy with that side TBH - as long as Barry comes in and gets some game time in the group stages because I do think we need him if we are to progress.

I agree, but if that happens he needs to be a direct replacement for Gerrard (or Lampard, in the unlikely event that he's worse). The left side of midfield is always a problem, and sticking Gerrard there to keep him happy is not the answer.

Do you think Capello has ruled out playing Ledley in the holding role if Barry is not fit...? Haven't heard much talk of it. England takes a much better shape with a defensive midfielder and I seem to remember Ledley playing a couple of blinders in that position for Sven.

How many European games have you been to?

European finals/Cup finals/semi finals?

Premier League games?

None, none, one .... tho given that was Wimbledon against Soton with Carlton Palmer (the best player on the field by a very long way - but still VERY shit), it doesn't count. :P

Are you about to start the TGT-type bollox, that no one who hasn't been to every match ever knows nothing? :rolleyes:

I could give you an endless list of people who prove that idea 100% wrong, but I really can't be bothered.

Ooh look - Neil in putting words into someone's mouth shocker... :rolleyes:

I guess you took that more literally than it was meant. :rolleyes:

But it's still far closer to the truth of things than your own claims to know what a publication has published that you've not read or heard anything about. :)

Never mind, you'll get over it.

Barring injury Green will start against USA, which means those squad numbers mean shit.

I can't see how you can say that, outside of dumb club loyalty.

Of the players numbered 2 to 11, which of those do you also think won't start the first game? :lol::lol:

And can I drag these words of yours I've quoted there out on 12th June along with another few choice quotes of yours, ralph styleee, without you going all moronic about it? :P

The Italians are NEVER going to win the competition with such appalling form.

Bosnia 1-0 up against Germany.

The Germans are NEVER going to win the competition with such appalling form.

Hang on - this might be a crazy suggestion, but are you suggesting that other teams except England don't do amazingly well in the warm up games?!

That can't be right. England are shit, aren't they? I'm just confused now.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
