Scow Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 I've just had a read of this article in the Guardian. It's a big gamble, though, because, if Scott Carson makes a bad mistake and England lose, the media will blame McClaren for throwing him into such a big game. He'll be crucified."Not that Southall is necessarily anticipating such a scenario. "Scott Carson is going to be a top, top keeper and he won't let anyone down," If some may think Carson's inclusion is a gamble, no one at Charlton Athletic, where Carson spent last season on loan from Liverpool, regards anything about their former goalkeeper as remotely suspect. Andy Woodman, the current goalkeeping coach at The Valley, was working at West Ham United last season and did not coach Carson but has heard nothing but praise for him at Charlton. "The feedback I've been getting here is that Scott Carson is brilliant," said Woodman yesterday. "Everyone here is really happy for him that he has got into the England side. He was player of the year here last season and everyone says he has an old head on young shoulders and is more than capable of playing in big games for England. "No one here doubts that he'll be able to cope mentally. From what I've seen of Scott Carson, he's a terrific keeper with great shot-stopping ability, tremendously sharp reflexes and superb handling. I've been extremely impressed by him. He's also got the experience of having played in high-pressure relegation games for Charlton last season. I think England are in good hands." Sorry, couldn't resist.
josedob Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 Didn't get a chance to watch - and should probably post to a different forum, but it's rather fitting. McClaren can't coach and BBC writers can't write the English language. Must be a sad sad night over there.... From the BBC website: Beckham Article Beckham makes international vow Midfielder David Beckham has no plans retire from his international football as England failed to qualify for Euro after losing to Croatia at Wembley. huh?? 'has no plans retire' I've submitted my request to be the new sport editor for bbc.co.uk. Doubt they'll respond. Off to have a drink - consider your sorrows (if not expectations) shared on the other side of the Atlantic. Sad day. Hell - at least you don't throw a bunch of rookies into a major international tournament and give up before it even begins (as we did this summer in the Copa America).

Isnt it time to get rid of that **** band thats been playing the same tunes throughout every game for the last 8 years!
Poakey Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 Cos I'm playing with my balls instead... Come on then,ive been dying to ask,whos that bird in your avatar?Just that i love everyone of your posts.
Leicester's 12th Man Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 IMO it was a fantastic game for the neautral supporter
Koke Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 Luka Modric should have been man of the match. That boy was sensational. No wonder Chelsea and Arsenal amongst others are after him.
Manwell Pablo Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 Luka Modric should have been man of the match. That boy was sensational. No wonder Chelsea and Arsenal amongst others are after him. Yes, I've herd talk of 30 million.
Koke Posted 22 November 2007 Posted 22 November 2007 Yes, I've herd talk of 30 million. Ridicolously over priced. I wouldn't put it past Chelsea to pay obscene money for a talented but unproven kid like Modric in the Prem.
Simi Posted 6 February 2008 Posted 6 February 2008 What can i say...It was like watching Leicester. Gerrard & Lampard.Between them earn nearly £250k per week. Gutless Bastards McLaren Out. Seeing his(Mclarens) ugly **** face on the telly riles me up! Remember this? Let's not get ahead of ourselves this time around.
