A website that I used to own is running a great FREE euro 2012 predictor game...

it is so simple, I recommend entering it:

If you want to put my name as the person that recommended you, I'd appreciate it! If you don't know my name (i know that most of you do...) please pm me, as for various reasons I don't want to post it up here....

Good luck!

Just joined and used you as a reference.......I want a cut of the 5k though!!!

Scott Parker might have to pull out of the squad as well apparently

 

[Mumorn]

In all honest, with Lampard out, fudge Henderson, give Sturridge the call up and I think I'd rather try:


...............................Hart..............................
.............Cahill.........Terry........Jagielka.........
Johnson..............................................Cole
..................Parker.......Gerrard.....................
Sturridge...........................................Young
..............................Carroll...........................

Just like to remind you all that Carrick said he didn't want the call-up. Reason being he thought he'd be on the bench. Irony is with Barry and Lampard out and Parker struggling for fitness he'd have probably started.

For me, we need to abandon the rigid 4-4-2 that's been failing us for years and play Oxlade-Chamberlain as part of a midfield three. He was outstanding in that role against Milan in the Champions League and he could be our secret weapon. Gerrard can play a slightly deeper role as he's not as fast as he used to be but can still pass the ball well, Parker as the other midfielder and the most defensively minded.

-------------------------------------------Hart-------------------------------------------
Walker-----------------Terry-----------------------Lescott------------------------Cole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Parker--------------------Gerrard------------------------------
---------------------------------------Chamberlain--------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------Walcott------------------------------------------------------Young--------
---------------------------------------Carroll--------------------------------------------

Rooney in for Carroll after the first two games.

It's not THAT bad. All of those players except Walker and Carroll have played in the Champions League. You could also try Wellbeck instead of Carroll if he's fit, as he's got pace instead of power and might be good for teams who play a high line against us.

 

[Mumorn]

Walker isn't going to the Euro's... so add Johnson at right back..

 

[Hully]

I don't think there's much between Germany and Holland quality throughout their squads, just got a feeling Holland might just sneak it.

Holland v Germany on the 13th June could be the game of the tournament, unless they meet again later on. Could be a bit of needle, a big 'tackle' or two on Podolski please...

Feel honoured playing in the same league as Barry Manilow. How very exciting! Will this be stickied?

Trappatoni has said that the squad for the next friendly is "90%" likely the one to start the first Euro game against Croatia. And he's just named that team:

............

GK: Given

RB: O'Shea
CB: Dunne
CB: St. Ledger
LB: Ward

RW: Duff
CM: Andrews
CM: Whelan
LW: McGeady

S: Keane
S: Doyle

 

[ArcspacE]

Why is it that every time you write down a number it shows as '?ú9' to me? Or are you actually writing that down every time? I'm confused.

Shows as &#163 to me

 

[elltrev]

Shows as ?ú to me

This is weird.... the numbers keep on changing... on your post it's a bunch of characters and numbers, which is what I originally wrote... now they're both showing as pound-signs.... am I going insane?

 

[ArcspacE]

Wow - if you quote me - shows as a 'Pound' sign whereas in my 'normal' post - series of number and signs

 

[indospurs]

What's the news on Croatia ?

Such a weak CM, is Stephen Ireland still in exile? Is there another high profile Paddy missing there as well? Minds gone a blank.

 

[Mumorn]

I'd personally of had O'Shea alongside Dunne and had Sheamus Coleman at right back.. Central midfield really is lacking though, can't Walters play there? Great engine on him.

I'd also of started Long

There's Gibson, but he's hot and cold. Ireland a head-banger and not in the squad.

 

[Mumorn]

Isn't Gibson in the squad? I thought he was?

McLean is also in the squad but I don't think he'd get in over Duff or McGeady.

 

[chancer]

Yeah, Gibson's in the squad but not many people rate him. Not sure what SAF saw in him all those years.

Nah I don't see what SAF saw in him neither. Hell of a shot on him though.
