When I was younger English goalkeepers were the best in the world
Not sure if this is the same now
What position do you think we excel in now, if any?

None, the latest squad is probably the worst group of players England has ever had. See Chelsea will probably win the Youth Cup yet again but still only give their youngsters a very occasional game.

Premiership & academies have yet to show that they place any real value on their youth system and we need a big change before we have anything like a decent team IMO.

Left back in the changing room.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

In all seriousness I think that full back is our strongest position. Clyne and Walker are the best right backs in the Premier League and Rose and Bertrand are two best left backs also in my opinion. Last year we had the two best strikers in Kane and Vardy and look where that got us! We are blinded by foreign talent in the Premier League and the England players just aren't as good as they or us think they are!

We used to be good at hooliganism but we even failed miserably at that last year.

If only England did irony. They'd be world beaters.....


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

There's no way on earth that the current squad is the weakest we've ever had.

The squad is decent the team is poor.

England's best position? 3rd in their group.

Danny Rose and Kyle Walker as a full-back pairing are about as good as it gets in the world game at present..

We've had quite a few decent full backs over the years.
