Here's realising our performance against Wales was pitiful
Told you ages ago... Capello OUT!

4th in the world rankings is very flattering. Wales could have beaten us quite easy today.
Rooney looking frustrated at times and fat Frank looking fat doing nothing.
Job done but by painting over the cracks
That World Ranking system is inept to say the least!!
We had our game against Holland cancelled due to the recent riots and moved up one place to fourth on the back of it!!

We won but we didn't deserve to. Rooney was getting fed up of never having the ball and was dropping so deep he was sometimes to be seen between the defensive and midfield 4's just to get a touch of the ball even though his presence there was utterly pointless. Our defence looked OK but the midfield had no spark except for from Downing.
Milner, Barry and Lampard are all such uncreative players for England as soon as I saw them listed in the team sheet I knew it wasn't going to be an interesting game to watch and that there would be few chances. Typical English football unfortunately; boring to watch and shaky throughout.
Ramsey thoroughly deserved man of the match. Himself and Bale were the best players on the pitch, it's just unfortunate for the Welsh that they don't have a little more quality around them.
On a positive note for England, Hart continues to prove himself as the best English keeper with an excellent save - albeit from a shot after play had been called back.
timmygcsc2308 said:I would also say another positive note was Ashley Young..continues to impress and has great pace, good shot and always getting in the right places.
Now we just need Jack the lad back to replace Barry
Yeah, Ashley Young played well too. I probably shouldn't admit this but after a wayward shot of his towards the end of the game I did say to the tv "yeah, you don't miss those against arsenal do you!"
Wilshere is certainly a great creative force for England and he seems to play with a lot more passion for the shirt than a lot of our more seasoned players, and I don't just say that as an arsenal fan, hopefully everyone else can see that too!
I think they do, I was shocked this when I read a comment from a spurs fan on the sun website saying we need him back in the team plus Walcott to give us the extra zip and I don't say this just because I'm an Arsenal fan either but Wilshire is such an important player to the future of the England team, at 19 years of age he is a lynchpin of the squad much like young Michael Owen and Rooney were, whereas his compatriots such as Henri Landsbury are older yet still playing in the U21's.
I really think fat frank (what a sitter he missed last night) and Stevie have been stifling our midfield for quite a while now, the reputation they built up in their mid twenties is sadly diminishing and they are consistently outclassed at international level by players such as Young and Wilshire, and say what you want about Capello but at least he doesn't care about reputation and plays in-form players, Steve McLaren's 'untouchables' notion was farcical (or was that Sven GE?). Another example being Gary Cahill and I desperately hope we get his signature in January even if it's an agreement on a free in July, magnificent player and him and Terry make an excellent partnership.
And lastly imagine if Ramsey was English I think on his own Ramsey is OK, but coupled with Jack they are a devastating pairing as shown against Man Utd. last term
Just caught the second half of the utd benfica match.
United have looked unbeatable this season so far and whilst they didn't look poor by any stretch, for the first time this season they didn't look invincible.
Well i love the banter on this thread but its been pretty obvious to me and my Corals betting slip that Man Utd will win the Prem again.
a great result for me though. I have a 10 game accumulator on a pound that will get me £135,000 if I win it and it starts with blackburn beating arsenal
9 more to go
I said in the other thread (the fantasy football thread) that I can't think of a worse display from any Liverpool side in recent years.
liverpool were poor but I feel really sorry for arsenal they have been dealing with 8-2 jokes 4-3 weeks now.
Bye bye spurs Not often you'd find me backing Stoke but this was definitely one of those occasions!
shame arsenal didn't lose to shrewsbury last night lol
I think all non arsenal fans were hoping for that one, it was never going to happen though.
