Tonight at ten on sky one they have a special hold the back page to discuss the England squad predictions for the euros. I'll be watching with a beer or two. Need to ween myself back in to football after yesterdays horror and it will be interesting to see how the journalists react to nevs appointment.
Also to see whether carrick gets a mention so we can see what ignorant view they have of him. We can also laugh at their concerns about king parkers fitness. Blessing in disguise if he doesn't go.
Also the subject of scholes. I really hope nev can convince Roy to go with the united and city spine of hart rio lescott carrick scholes/Barry wayne wellbeck

Stick with what we have could work as much as it will bony people. Scholes and carrick have been our two stand our players consistently since Christmas. They protect the back four effectively and provide a platform for attacks with their fantastic passing and ball retention. Without doubt scholes has been one of the three best players in the league since he came back. Watching them every week i fully appreciate what they do and it was effectively them that got us back in to the title race.
Ideally a replacement for scholes to share the load would be great. Modric or cabaye type.

I will be very concerned if SAF does not strengthen the midfield position.

Yes, the same spine that was proven so magnificent in both European club competitions this season!

I know England will be bad, but how bad do you think it could be with Scholes and Barry in the middle.

Imagine if we played Spain with that CM. It would be a cricket score.

Batman give an alternative. We can all pull out stats to back up a statement but let's look at the alternative. A spine of terry cahill parker lampard gerard carroll.
More like a lollipop stick than a spine. Made up of perennial underachievers and proven brats who throw their toys out the pram and don't try when they don't like the manager.
I don't doubt my suggestion will struggle against the best but it's the best we have. And made up of the two best teams in the country by a long way it's not a bad start.

I could, watching England fail in big competitions is funny. The media build it up like we are going to win it every 2 years

With a bit of luck I will be on the golf course or even work when most of the games are being played.
I have no expectations from England what so ever. I just hope the talent in the next generation is not wasted, or misused by Roy as the talent was by the likes of Sven, McLaren and Capello.
