i hope they dont play we might win???

I think all England needs is a striker who can put the ball in the back of the net, even if he is a southen fairy or a northen monkey! only joking around.

we have an average bunch of players with the exception of Rooney and Gerrard, but we dont have a lot to look forward in the future, especialy with all this influx of overseas talent!

plus in todays game managers think its to much of a risk to play attacking... its just going to be the same old England, draw or a loss.... plenty of long ball and a willingness to stay in there own half!.... boring... thank God for pubs and alchol! haha

Dear Northerners

I know it's difficult for you to write the Queens English without swearing, and you even have difficulty in doing that.

Please go back to school and start again and try to compose a sentence without a swear word in it. I know it will be difficult for you, but please try as there are lots of young southern children who read these articles and it is difficult to explain to them what you are on about .
Thanking you for your efforts.

Southern Softie who is able to read and write without swearing

yes u northerners, u got gerrard and nothing else!! and even his only a very limited player in the international arena. so please get behind ure team and try to make them win the frickin games ahead, u mopetts.

watch the game live and free on justin.tv its great honest.

You brits are gonna lose anyway!hahahaha!

COME ON TRAPPATONI!!

At this rate England are never gonna win a trophy. Anyway they are a pretty bad team but Rooney and Gerrard could actually try and play how they play with their clubs then maybe just maybe they would win a Euro Cup or even more unlikely a SECOND World Cup. Personally i think that Rooney and Gerrard are top class.

if it was up to me i would start bullard in the middle and downing on the left. why not cant do much worse and it might give lamps the kick up the @#$% he needs! but still what do i know, im a southerner!!

Well links183, us Southerners don't hate northerners - we take it for granted that you are thick and we just try to understand that unusual type of English that you try to speak!

makes you wonder why an italian who knows nothing about england and dosnt care where a player comes from is in charge.dont hate southerners just dont see the point of them.

we guna lose anyway, duno why there's such a fuss!!

In view of the fact that England games are no longer free to view, then all England fans should boycott games at Wembley. It's time we used our financial power to stop the friggin idiots who run our game taking it away from us. It's time to fight back and club and national level. Only how do you get to tell the whole world to join the boycott?

david s shoudnt you get back to sweeping up?

If people in the north see England as a southern thing then maybe you should start producing some decent footballers again. That will solve the problem. Whenever there has been a majority of good northerns then the England team was full of notherners, or maybe you choose not to remember. Apart from which do you think a friggin Italian who knows nothing about this country could care less where a player comes from, as long as he thinks he is good enough, right? As the manager is Italian that proves that the north just don't have enough good players at this time. Now stop being a friggin stupid southern hater, that just makes hate you in return. Idiot
