Not sure how much more Noble needs to do to get an England call up. 

 

Again that's the argument of decent players in excellent form being given call-ups whereas Wilshere is a potentially excellent player with no form.

 

If we're actually looking at playing the likes of Drinkwater, Noble, Vardy etc. then you're picking good players in the hopes that their form carries over from their club sides. Personally I think the national team should be about the most talented players and international caps shouldn't be gold stars for doing well at your club.

 

What I think this shows is just how poor the English league is at the moment and how poor the talent pool is.

It'll be a midfield of Milner, Henderson, Wilshire just because of who they play for. God I hate us.

The BBC report on Adam Johnson:

"During this trial Adam Johnson laughed outside the court.

He also told an usher he was 'bored'."

He'll probably be named in the squad too.

So Adam Johnson get's 6 years.

Ex-England footballer Adam Johnson has been jailed for six years for sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

Johnson was found guilty of sexual touching but cleared of one charge relating to another sexual act following a trial at Bradford Crown Court.

The former Sunderland winger previously admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity.

Adam Johnson jailed for 6 years.

I must say it's a bit strange how he get's double what this girl got?

I mean she basically raped a 13 year old girl and others.

He deserves it. He used his position as a footballer to groom a child. He then denied it despite all the evidence leaving her with death threats and such. He's a scumbag and I hope he suffers to the maximum in prison.

World Cup 2022 for him it is then.

He deserves jail time and what comes with it, no question.

However it's the sheer inconsistency and double standards the courts use in sexual cases that is baffling to me.

Seen laughing outside the courtroom saying he was bored.

Also shows no emotion and smirks after sentencing.

What an utter bellend.

Yup.

We compiled extensive research as part of our social policy course last year and sexual abuse cases are the second most 'swept under the carpet' behind sexual assault.

Can't remember which local authority it was though.

Sorry guys, I'm guilty of the same but can we discuss Adam Johnson in the Adam Johnson thread please?

I'm finished discussing the moron. Hope he rots.

What? What a moron. Three his whole life away and for what? Such an idiot.

Sorry Gem.

Didn't realise there was one.

Different rule for women these days you know that, Madonna can take the top off of a 17 year old girl on stage and nothing, A male musician does that and he's facing all sorts.

As for the Euro's I'm not that excited for it this time round for some reason.

Maybe it's the constant downer that this season has been.

Don't know if this is true, it is the Mail after all, but:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3506867/England-boss-Roy-Hodgson-likely-pick-Jack-Wilshere-Arsenal-star-fails-play-end-season.html#article-3506867

"England boss Roy Hodgson likely to pick Jack Wilshere even if Arsenal star fails to play before the end of the season"

Absolutely sickening, yes sickening, if even remotely true. Why have other English players bothered this year? Why should they ever bother again to try and get into the England team? You're not awarded by form or even ability, I mean seriously this guy is so overrated it's unfathomable, so why bother dream playing for your country? If he can play for England then so can I.

 

I think we would be better off without Wilshere. A midfield 3 of Dier, Alli and Barkley is how it should be now. I think Wilshere has been massively overrated since the day people started noticing him. 

 

England make the same mistakes in every tournament, we never learn. We always call up a player who has had a long lasting injury and that player always goes on to have a bad tournament.

 

We ain't going to do piss all if we approach the Euro's the same way we approached the World Cup so we may as well try something new. Hodgson is the most unambitious manager around though so it's likely we will just make the same mistakes all over again. Milner get's picked every single time and that f**ker has had 3 awful international tournaments in a row. It pisses me off to be honest, i'm tired of seeing him picked every time just because he runs around like a headless chicken, he is the epitome of an average footballer.

I'm not either, but minds more because I find international football boring these days.

I'm struggling to get involved with the Olympics too and I love them, I just want the 2016/2017 season to start.

me also but i put it down to that muppet hodgson being in charge, you just know we are going out

Every team but one goes out

Paul Merson reckons Woy should take Wilshere, obvious Arsenal bias. What do people see in him? Cause even when fit I don't see what all the fuss is about

Exactly, look at Arsenal's record with and without him, they do better without him.

 

The guy has attitude problems too.
