what a waste of a game, thought England B was about players who had not played for England before

It's our B side - our reserves.

These are the eleven players not in the 1st XI so there fore a 'B' side. I like the look of it to be honest

I wouldn't have Neville, Jenas or Smith playing but other than that I am quite looking forward to how the rest play.

not on this occasion its for non Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool players to keep match fitness up before the qualifiers, same for the Brazil match for the rest

Looks like a good line-up, no doubt the Albanian farmers will just give Owen a good kicking

When Smith actually gets a run in a team up front he's brilliant. After Owen and Rooney, who's actually better than him? Ashton could be if he was fit and if he regains his ability but Smith's a far better player than Crouch, Defoe, Bent etc

As much as I hate Phil Neville (just for that penalty against romania) you can't really say that he can't cut it in the senior side, after all he's got 40 or 50 caps to his name.

That tackle against Romania is the reason why EVERYONE hates him. They forget that he's won the Champions League, that he's got lots of caps and plays well week in week out, because for years he was used to fill the gap at left back when he wasn't one, and as a result he gave away a penalty.

He's actually a bloody good defender, and if it wasn't for the fact that his brother is better i expect he'd have put in a lot more good performances for England in his real position.

Why Owen?Some players have played well for ages this year and deserve a chance in the squad,Owen is injured for 9 months,plays twice and all of a sudden is straight back in the lineup!:nono:

Because:
1) It gets him fit
2) He's world class
3) Our other strikers are shit

1) Then do it in training
2) He's not like he used to be
3) Rooney and Crouch are both better than him

1) You don't get match fitness unless you play 90 minutes in a match
2) You know that for sure?
3) Rooney is banned against Estonia, Crouch can't get a game for Liverpool
