Martin to start vs England?

[triz]

I'd love for Martin to get a hat full of goals but not against England! I hope Scotland get hammered just like they'll be hoping to beat the enemy. It's Scotland v England and there is no such thing as a friendly in this clash. Can't believe there are English England haters out there! :/

I can believe it but i'm not one of them. My biggest hope for the game is that our players Martin in particular stay fit, but after that i hope england smash them.

very true MoP. I was in Edinburgh when England lost to Italy in the world cup and can tell you every Scotsman in the bar was cheering for Italy. it was harmless banter in the end but they meant it 100%. they desperately wanted us to lose.

the guy is clearly a moron if he thinks stevie may should start ahead of martin.

I'd much rather England win and martin draw a blank. why? because if martin impresses at this level we've got bob hope of holding on to him in January!

I dnt see Martin having that much of an impact, he ought to be able to hold his own but the guy has not done much above championship level in his career. Anyway as he is on a 4 year contract, any club that wanted to take a punt would be paying top dollar!

neither had ulloa but Leicester saw it fit to pay 7m.

could say the same about Rhodes but still Blackburn had to turn down 10m.

Hope CM stays firmly on the bench, and England hammer the jocks. I want him fit for and as rested as possible for the Watford game.

Don't understand the England haters on here.

Hate no, apathy yes. I can't say I'm particularly proud to be English, especially when it comes to Football - never mind getting into our foreign policy and the morons who run our country. I get passionate when it comes to England playing Rugby, that's probably because it seems like the players are proud to wear the English jersey. If England win tomorrow I'd be happy I guess, if Martin scored then the result wouldn't bother me either way. Soz!

[Popsidepaul]

Apathy I can understand.

[AdiSalisbury]

I don't dislike England, however I would love Martin to bag a hatrick as confidence in a striker is essential.

Derby 1st, England 2nd.

I wouldnt say pride is really my reason for supporting derby or england, its much more complex then that, but essentially it just boils down to them being my team. I support Derby and England and want them to win and do well. Pride doesnt come into it (and cant really until we have a slight bit of success).


As for the england rugby team, i find it hard to get as passionate about a much inferior sport (& 5 losses in a row doesnt help)

Surely an ideal scenario would be for Martin to have a good game generally and score [a few]but be let down by his team mates and England win, best of both worlds then!
