Ted Hughes wrote:England U21s scored a very nice victory over Germany tonight, twice coming from behind to win 3-2 & all this done without the help of Greg Dyke, Rio Ferdinand or Danny Mills. Quite remarkable.
So Phil neville on commentary telling us how they should find space for Harry Kane, Berahino & some other fucker, for the U21 championships in the summer, 'you have to find a spot for your best players'.
So Harry, will finish a long season, and instead of lying on a beach, he plays a full tournament, then has a quick break, then another full season, then off to the Euros with the full England team. And if he's fucked, or injured, that will of course be because he didn't have Christmas off.
Phil Neville, unsurprisingly, is right behind Greg Dyke's idea.
These people are fucking idiots.

Is this the longest international break known to man ffs. Bored shitless and waiting for some meaningful football again, rather than the bloody tedium of this past 10 days.

I have never understood the concept of having everyone back to defend a corner. If we had one forward in the centre circle and one between the 18yard box and centre circle the opposition have to leave a minimum three defenders back, thus nullifying their attacking threat. We ourselves have probably conceded more from our own corners than we have scored from.
Attack is the first line of defence and all that

If wed had jayko or adebayor not defending many corners we'd have conceded a shit ton over the years. Ade esp was brilliant defending corners.
Cheers

Perhaps we ought to have converted him to a centre-half.

Joke away keyboard-music lover but he was really honestly one of the best defending forwards I've ever seen.
