Hart will keep his place despite basic errors, not because there is no one else, but because of the FA's sponsorship stance. Worth far more financially than winning games of football[/quote]

He's head and shoulders above Forster.

Chalks, that is a serious vendetta you have against Roy and The FA.

To suggest players are chosen to play for their country based on sponsorship deals is ludicrous. :shock:

It's not as far fetched as you think unfortunately

[Crouchend_Hammer]

But yet no one has ever been able to provide a sniff of evidence to even create a news story, let alone prove it

Hodgson is an idiot. Always has been. But he selects what he thinks (rightly or wrongly) is the best squad and team. He may subconsciously be swayed by players from 'big' clubs like any other international manager but nothing more sinister than that

Also no idea why people seem to think the English players care less than players from other countries. As someone else said it is easy to be considered more 'up for it' if you are a small country and even getting a win is reason to party. Smaller nations have always punched above their weight in these tournaments. But that is more due to team spirit and individuals raising their own games above their normal level than 'caring' more. England have never had a meltdown like France and Netherlands have in the past

Each to their own, of course, but why anyone would support a nationap team with a single west ham player in above england juat seems weird. That player might have left weSt ham by the beginning of next season! Club players come and go. If norway were in it would you support norway because that new bloke we have signed plays for them? Would you still support France over England if Payet went to Real Madrid tomorrow? Woukd you have supported England if Noble was in the squad?

Each to their own

I'm clearly just an angry old man :lol:

No, I would support them because Samuelsen plays for them

Roy Hodgson - The Grinch whole stole the euros

[bondsbootlaces]

Drinkwater and Noble both would've held the play up at least or stopped Ireland's second

Did you see the adverts at half time during the Iceland game?

[Tristan Shout]

Who is going to be England's next manager?

[Iron Mark]

Should have gone after the poor world cup.

Follows up with an even worse Euros...

[Sir_Trevor]

Gentlemen, I think we have an answer to the original question.

[Claretdave]

I have thought long and hard about my post, and on balance I think the answer is no.

[paul_h]

Is anyone surprised by this, thought we were lucky to get out of the group. Total ****. Have not been excited by one England game, prefer watching the teams with skill and passion. England are a joke.

[ageing hammer]

Even Nobles free kicks are better than Kanes

[OFT]

Who is going to be England's next manager?

Boris Johnson

[DrVenk]

I hope it's Sam Allardyce
