Tom to start for England

[sinkov]

We're only playing Malta, I hope whoever gets picked has the good sense to take his pipe, slippers and a good book.

I believe Joe's up to p179 of War and Peace so far, it's a big book, I don't think he'll finish it.

Sterling hooked, at least Gareth has got something right at last.

When you have 3 Keepers and the worst of these is Hart but you make him your selection against Malta I am cross!

you would like to think that having let in 11 goals in 3 games that Tom would get the nod over Hart to start for England- Aftet his display at Wembley its a no-brainer but Mr Personality ny-pass will hand the shirt to hapless Joe

It was the same with Rooney, no matter how poor he was, he couldn't get out of the England team. There's a little club of 'elite' England players, once you're in it you become undroppable. Rooney was in it, Hart's in it.

New England Manager with the same old Managerial ways, promoted by an FA not fit for purpose.

Any neutral reading this would probably think its because Heaton is a Claret, but in reality Hart regardless of his last few bad games has always had a tendency to be "below" par on regular appearances.

You'd say it was the same for Rooney, I'd agree with that and I'll also mention Beckham, he was played well past his sell by date also, just in the team for his "Beckham" Brand which obviously brought in more money for our cash greedy FA.

The England Cricket selectors used to be the same, favouritism and loyalty over ability, which is p!ss poor in my book.

Joe's in on merit. He's our best keeper according to Gareth. Can you believe this ****.
