^^England are not Spurs pal and the 4 players who will be playing possibly still need to prove themselves also against the best teams in Europe it is not all about Rooney .....but to talk about him not being able to fit into any system with his experience is just bowlacks in fact his best position now is as a central midfielder as he does get about the pitch when playing there.....plus we need some experience in the side from someone who has been there and done it before...... goals an all.

I would be more worried about both full back positions because that is where our weakness is as a team and teams will go for that against us.

And Carmine International teams are not pub teams anymore

can't really think which statement here is the most stupid; trying to suggest i'm saying England is all about Spurs or saying there are no longer pub teams at int'l level.

And i've made no further comment on your suggestion Rooney should start for us either!!

Your on form today MrEd.

Oh and one other thing. Just how many more years are we going to have to wait before a hugely talented english player has "proven" himself enough?

So what would your starting 11 be?

That would probably depend on who is lined up against them.

hey mods, any chance you could snip the england discussion from here and drop it in the england thread? apologies, know i'm one of them. we should keep this thread clean for general euro 2016 stuff rather than the england back-and-to and mr ed's traditional nonsense.

... and if rooney ain't performing given the competition Im sure his arsenal will be on the bench if he don't deliver.

By the time Woy realises Rooney isn't performing the team will be hurtling down the runway heading for Heathrow.

Shame Wilkins isn't there. Although he was possibly one of the most boring players to watch, his reading of the game is peerless.

I hope BeIn have snaffled him.

While talking about players out of favor or not in good shape.

Isn't there a top referee from England, who recently has performed catastrophically poorly?

I think Rooney must start every game.

Anyone seen my tissues?

probably used them all up last time you were watching Scotland

no one even wants to use your mob as 'warm up' material,,

best thing about ireland being in the euros are the father ted flags:

Finally it started.

What a match!

What a performance from Payet. Who will snap him from the Hammers?

Well he's in Man City's age bracket

^I did state midseason that we should put a bid for him...a real talent.

Well he had a fine time in spite of our 3-0 drubbing.

I see your clowns are having fun over in Marseilles.

quite interesting.

This was flashed up as the teams for the early game tonight:

Albania: Berisha; Hysaj, Mavraj, Cana, Agolli; Xhaka, Kukeli, Abrashi; Roshi, Lenjani; Sadiku.

Switzerland: Sommer; Lichsteiner, Schar, Djourou, Rodriguez; Behrami, Dzemaili, G Xhaka, Shaqiri, Seferovic, Mehmedi.

Did they get the team names the right way round?

World class defending by Wales.

Is there a Wales thread? Hard to tell on the TV app. Search is useless.

Good game though.

Are you watching, Woy?

Yes. Are you watching, Woy?

What a goal. Quids in now. Ha ha.

I hope England play with this much heart.

Should of had a Wales thread for this game.

Feel free to start one,maybe popular with Smokie.

Get on the phone to Chris, Woy, and seek some managerial advice. Win or lose Wales are playing their socks off.

Will be more popular if Wales go through and England, erm, stutter, stoneyboy. Okay, bit early for all that, but there's a spirit there.

I've heard no Wales fans have yet been tear gassed.

Not good is it. Hopefully all the trouble causers will be in jail by the time we play in the final [emoji1]
