It has been watching the TWINS this year, but then what do you expect, when they trade my mancrush Brian Dozier to the Angels :cry: Thats £25 on 81 wins well and truly up the swanny this season as well.

Well, consistency is the key word here isn't it. Anyone, on any given day when the stars align, can be capable of turning in a great performance even against one of the big boys. We see it all the time, when a player from a lower division has a stormer, and everyone goes "wow, whats he doing in...

No, skill fitness and talent doesn't evaporate. But its all about where you are regularly plying your trade, where you are most often being tested. Elite players like Ronaldo are the best because they are the most talented, and they drive themselves to be the best against the best. Sure they'll...

Sorry. Its probably all that baseball I waste my time with.

No. He'd already been denied the chance to play in the PL for a whole year by an irishman and a fellow englishman, not Balogun. We didn't just move him on because he wasn't deemed good enough. He just wanted to play football and we did the right thing by not standing in his way. Goldson wasn't...

But how can you make that judgement when week in, week out they're playing against 2nd rate players ?

So you're asserting that the fact that the bulk of the England squad is drafted from our top 6 teams is a weakness ? I'd say its a strength, because (a) it means that they are actually good enough to play for one of our elite teams, and (b) they are getting regular football on a European stage...

Steve Bull went to Italia 90 as a squad player when he was at Wolves in the 2nd division. It does happen, but the fact we're scraping around the odd name here and there and having to go back years proves what a rarity it is. Nugent earned one solitary cap (and scored!). If you're not in the top...

Because they're making a "big impact" against Barnsley and Hull. Knockaert can do that, but would he deserve a place in the french squad off the back of it ? As we've seen from last season, the answer is quite clearly no. He hasn't really made the step up in class. Sessegnon at Fulham might be...

Why pick out the Chelsea lineup from last weekend to make a point ? You can't get more 'highly selective' than that. England have been very well represented over the last 10 years by Chelsea players, who have consistently won major honours with them domestically and in Europe. Chelsea have had...

Its a tired argument. The cream always rises to the top - if they're stuck in the Championship then they're not good enough to play for the best teams in England, because the top clubs aren't interested in them, ergo they're not good enough to be selected for England. Premier League clubs always...
