from today's sun...

the man is a complete cunt.

FABIO CAPELLO plans a dramatic England shake-up to avoid a flop at next summer's Euro 2012 finals.
The Three Lions need just a point against Montenegro next month to qualify.

But boss Capello believes some survivors from last year's World Cup are carrying too much baggage after the disaster in South Africa.

That could spell the end for Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry, and possibly James Milner — who all started in Tuesday's insipid 1-0 win over Wales.

Even Rio Ferdinand, who was injured just before the World Cup finals and was not considered fit enough for the Wembley date with Wales, faces a fight for his place.

Of the old guard, left-back Ashley Cole is sure to survive and Steven Gerrard should be restored when the Liverpool midfielder recovers from his groin injury.

Wayne Rooney is an obvious choice to continue to be the main man in attack and skipper John Terry is favourite to retain the armband.

But the rest of Capello's new England will be built around Gary Cahill, Stewart Downing, Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere when he is fit.

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck — another who missed Tuesday's game through injury — is sure to be in the reckoning along with his Old Trafford team-mates Phil Jones and Tom Cleverley.

thought milner and barry had ok games myself... unlike chris 'the future' smalling

I hate this fuss about Cleverley. I am starting to hate that little arrogant cunt. All of the sudden he and Wellbeck are world class, after the patethic season they had last year at Sunderland and Wigan. Fucking madness.

You're a touchy lot aren't you?

If that annoys you i'd hate to see what other stuff riles you on a day-to-day basis. Must be constantly angry?

Cleverly & Wellbeck will end up at West Brom.

Capello won't have a problem with what Barry & Milner did, as they did pretty much what he wanted them to do. If he gets pressure to play more of the glory boys though, one or both will be benched. Personally after watching a recording of both games, I thought England looked like more of a team than they have in many years; very few glory balls & an attempt to play together.

If you swapped Lampard for David Silva it would all work. We need a player like that.

Smalling has dropped more serious defensive bollocks in two games than Micah or Lescott have in their whole england careers btw.

Haha, no mate.

I am still amazed how every fucking scum player turns over night into a world class player. Welbeck, Smalling, Cleverley, even Ripley Chicarito. Smalling last year played 19 games, and only 14 as a starting player, Wellbeck wasen't a regular at the team of Baconface's child, Bruce and Phil Jones almost relegated with Blackburn. What manager in his right state of mind won't use at this moment Barry and Milner, in front of those lads? Milner is only 25

Smalling was terrible Tues, but the RAG-loving media gloss over that. Otherwise the reat of it seems to be current opinion. Barry had a good game, except that no-one knows what he or Milner had been asked to do.

As Ted says Cleverly and Wellbeck will end up at W Brom or Sunderland.

I have heard more than once in radio discussions that the 3 or 4 would not be in the England squad if they were still at Fulham,BBurn or Sunderland and Wigan.It's not just City fans who think it.

Really...so what though? Why do you let it get to you so much?

You don't have to read articles in newspapers and on websites, or listen to certain radio stations, if you're not reading/hearing anything you like.

who TF is shawn custis and why would anyone listen/read to any of his opinions? Does he write for the Sun because he can't get a proper job at a real newspaper. Must be hard work trying to make a name for yourself stuck at some joke outfit like the Sun.. or is that just where all the rejects end up anyway? dumbasses attract dumbasses. Well who cares..

I do have serious question though: If I read what custis says, does it then mean I am as much of a knobtool as he is?

So you only read opinions that you agree with ?

I am happy if the rags players get picked for England and ours dont, then they (RAGS) can get injured in pointless friendlies and euro games while our guys stay fit and play for us in the PL and CL. A fucking cunt like that custis bloke is arguing for us really, if you think about it although he is too biased and stupid to know that.

Anyone would think United contstantly win leauges, make regular CL finals, clean up in other competitions, the way the papaers go on.

What Capello needs to do is look at more successful clubs and choose players from those instead.

Three points:

1) Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverly and Phil Jones don't have a Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup or Champions League winner's medal between them.

2) Gareth Barry has been promoted to the starting eleven in recent months. What evidence is there to suggest he's heading for the chop?

3) Tom Cleverley has yet to win a senior cap for England.

The smart arse strikes again and manages to completely miss the point.

Does this story really bother you that much?

Not quite sure why your here, no Rangers players would get near the England women's squad.

Not really, no. I can't be arsed getting wound up every time another tabloid journalist prints a fabricated piece that's so overtly biased as to be laughable.

That said, the OP does have a point, which I think I addressed with my reply to your previous comment. Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Phil Jones haven't had illustrious careers, so your point about United's team being full of champions is just wrong. Moreover, all the evidence seems to suggest that Milner and Barry's places in the squad are two of the most secure. They're faeturing at the moment and England keep winning. Capello has actually come out prasing Barry publicly this week. The journo's suggestion that they're about to be axed is absolute groundless bollocks.

I can understand why this sort of story winds people up even if I'm not that arsed about it myself. There's no paranoia here, just plain old media bias.

Sadly the foe button doesnt do its job with quoted posts.

Cityger, you are wasting your time trying to rationalise this site's very own legend at his own laptop.

ha ha sounded bad that dinnit. I suppose i meant if I actually go and read custis..

(no-one reads the Sun but they sell it! Public figures quake in fear at what they might say. Its all bollocks and anyone with half a brain should just ignore it or do what most do and read it and laugh at it). Why the Sun and their barrel scrapings of [strike]reporters[/strike] are not just ignored i don't know.

All this "just ignore it" is like someone slagging you off throughout the streets - it cannot be ignored.
