Will play Rooney, Cahill and a few other mugs who shouldn't be in the team probably.
|

By:
Will also play 4-4-2 that will get destroyed by anyone good.

hope Vardy doesn't play

Leics should be hoping these rumoured huge bids for him are true
|
|
By:
We should play with Kane up front alone, supported by Walcott and Sterling on the flanks, but it will never happen as it involves dropping Rooney.
|

By:
Then have Alli, Henderson, whoever in CM. Given we always lose the midfield battle vs anyone good. When is Wilshere meant to be back?
We could actually field a very young team and not lose any quality at all really. |

and what will it actually end up being

CM seems our biggest weakness really which is why we should flood it.

By:
Will end up being
Hart, Clyne, Smalling, Cahill, Baines, Delph, Henderson, Barkley, Sterling, Rooney, Kane. Which has no real balance. I would play something like. Hart, Clyne, Smalling, Stones, Bertrand (Shaw in future years), Alli, Henderson, Wilshere, Sterling, Walcott, Kane. Though open to better CM suggestions. Maybe just throw a ball winner in that midfield like Dier or someone, though we're pretty weak in that area of the field. |

thought going to City was gonna ruin his career

By:
Rooney is a major problem really. In the sense he doesn't really fit in the team at all. Kane has to play. And a team with Kane, Rooney, Sterling just looks awkward as neither Rooney or Kane want to operate out wide.

In the end it's what England have often done. Shoehorning players to make a team, rather than picking players to suit a team.

Media reaction[edit]
The reaction of the British media to the England national team manager reflects the changing nature of the British media generally.[115] In recent times, managers have been attacked personally, for their personal beliefs, or private lives. |

Personal attacks[edit] A newspaper front page featuring an England football manager with the top of his head replaced with the top of a turnip The Sun front page, reporting Graham Taylor's resignation The press had long campaigned for changes in management style and / or replacement of the manager himself, but a watershed was reached under the tenure of Graham Taylor, whose unsuccessful reign led to the manager being pilloried in the tabloids. Most notably, The Sun newspaper reacted to a damaging defeat by Sweden in the Euro 92 tournament, by the accompaniment of the headline "Swedes 2 Turnips 1" with a photographic montage of a turnip superimposed on Taylor's head.[116] Taylor was thereafter often referred to in the media as "Graham Turnip" or "Turnip Taylor".[92][117] Subsequent footballing ignominies were then followed by other depictions of Taylor as a vegetable; England's first game after Euro 92 ended in a 1–0 defeat to Spain, and The Sun pictured Taylor as a "Spanish onion".[118] When he resigned, they reverted to the turnip image, accompanying the front page headline, "That's yer allotment".[119] Following Roy Hodgson's appointment, The Sun mocked his rhotacism speech impediment with a "Bwing on the Euwos!" front page headline.[120] The FA called the headline "unacceptable" and more than 100 people complained to the Press Complaints Commission.[120] Issues-based[edit] Glenn Hoddle attracted the media spotlight for two key issues unrelated to on-the-pitch affairs. In the first, his reliance upon purported faith healer Eileen Drewery was questioned.[76] Drewery became part of the official England staff, and players were pressured to see her,[121] even though many of them were sceptical.[122] However, far more opprobrium was caused by Hoddle's comments about disabled people:[123] “ You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap. ” Public opinion, based upon the immediate media furore resulted in (according to one BBC poll) 90% of respondents believing Hoddle should not continue as English coach.[124] However the BBC survey showed that while many considered his comments insensitive to the disabled, others defended his right to express his religious beliefs by claiming that to sack him would constitute religious discrimination.[125] Private life[edit] Eriksson's private life came under scrutiny, with an number of well-publicised accusations of trysts with women including Ulrika Jonsson,[126] and FA secretary Faria Alam,[127] despite his on-going relationship with Nancy Dell'Olio.[128] Though Eriksson maintained in press conferences that his personal life was a private matter,[129] his relationships with Jonsson in 2002 and Alam in 2004 were subject to tabloid headlines for several weeks.[130] Campaigns[edit] The media, both broadsheet and tabloid, have sometimes campaigned for a manager to be dismissed, appointed or retained. Campaigns for managers to be dismissed have been front page news, with eye-catching headlines including "The final ron-devouz", "In the Name of Allah Go", "Norse Manure", "Blair Gives Hoddle The Red Card" for (respectively) Ron Greenwood, Bobby Robson, Graham Taylor and Glenn Hoddle.[131] Eriksson survived several scandals whilst in office, but his tenure was eventually ended when he was one of a series of celebrities targeted by a tabloid 'sting',[132] known as The fake Sheikh.[133] Eriksson's indiscretions revealed by the newspaper "... proved the final straw for the FA", although Eriksson was permitted to stay on in the role until the end of the 2006 World Cup.[134] These campaigns have also sometimes backfired. Former FA chief executive, Graham Kelly recalled a campaign, orchestrated by The Sun against Bobby Robson, that began in 1984 (six years before his resignation):[131] “ The Sun was handing over "Robson Out" badges at England games as early as 1984 but the FA's then chief executive, Graham Kelly, recalled that with every press attack, his backing increased. "The irony was that just before the 1990 World Cup, the chairman, Bert Millichip, finally lost patience, let his tongue run away with him, and said that Robson either had to win the World Cup or go, and Bobby reacted by approaching PSV Eindhoven. Had this not happened, he would have served another four years, believe me." ” Sections of the media have often campaigned for a particular person to be appointed England manager. At various times, but particularly during the tenure of Bobby Robson, the media campaigned for the appointment of Brian Clough. Robson once told FA chairman Bert Millichip "I'm having a rough time and everybody wants Brian – give the job to him. If he's successful, everybody's happy. If he fails, that's the end of the clamour for Brian Clough to be England manager." Robson added, "He would have ruffled a few feathers and disturbed the corridors of power but I think he would have been a good England manager. He had good judgement, knew how to design a team and was a great motivator."[135] Terry Venables was also the subject of a media campaign for dismissal during his time as manager but was then supported by the press to return to the role in 2000.[131] Steve McClaren received media criticism, and, as failure to qualify for Euro 2008 looked increasingly likely, the headlines became more visceral. In January 2008, football magazine When Saturday Comes describing the newspaper coverage of his final month as "relentless and remorseless".[136] Both tabloids and broadsheets published critical pieces, The Times headlining an editorial "Fail and McClaren has to go".[136] The media have also parodied this genre of campaigns for recruitment, dismissal or retention of managers. In October 2000, The Sun launched a campaign promoting a donkey as the new England manager.[137] great times as england soccer coach |

A Briton working at a gold mine in Kyrgyzstan has been detained and faces up to five years in jail for comparing a local delicacy to a horse penis, according to authorities.
Police detained Michael Mcfeat, an employee of the Toronto-based Centerra Gold, after he posted the comment on Facebook, which caused a temporary strike at the mine, an interior ministry spokesman said on Sunday. Mcfeat wrote that his Kyrgyz colleagues were queueing for their “special delicacy, the horse’s penis” during holiday celebrations, referring to a traditional horse sausage known as chuchuk. He now faces racial hatred charges, which can result in between three to five years in prison under Kyrgyz law. A local trade union leader confirmed that work at the mine, which accounts for up to 10% of the former Soviet republic’s economic output, resumed on Sunday after a short strike. Mcfeat later deleted the post and apologised on his Facebook page, saying he had not meant to offend anyone. “I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely appologise [sic] for the comment I made on here about the kygyz people and horses penis,” he wrote. “I truly never meant to offened anyone and im truly sorry as it was never my intension [sic].” A group of people in the picture that he had originally posted with the comments had “ absolutely nothing to do with it”, he added. Horse meat, including offal, is a popular delicacy in both Kyrgyzstan and neighbouring Kazakhstan, where nomadic traditions have been revived since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Kyrgyz government is currently in an ownership standoff with Centerra, which wholly owns the Kumtor gold mine and operates it through a subsidiary. Kyrgyzstan holds a 32.7% stake in Centerra, and until last month had been trying to swap that for a 50% stake in the Kumtor mine. The government walked out of negotiations on 22 December, promising to present a new proposal for restructuring the mine’s ownership. A foreign office spokesman said of Mcfeat’s detention: “We’re in contact with local authorities and are ready to provide consular assistance.” |
