England U-21 - Norway U-21

[Shania]

Dear mods

Please ban Shania for a week for rubbing it in.

On second thoughts, our poxy team deserve abuse

This was a "once in a lifetime" experience. Not sure I will get the chance to do it again.

We are actually going backwards and have made zilch headway in the last 20 years. Am I imagining it but did'nt we have so much more talent in the 70's, where did it all go wrong?

I know. No problem.:=):

You know things are bad when even Norway are spanking us.

To be honest, I would like us to buy Marcus Perdersen,our very talented striker. 23 years of age and one for the future. He terrorized the english defence with Caulker and Smith amongst them.

After 10 years on these boards I have finally learnt to take a deep breath and count to ten.

Trevor Brooking is a relic of the game with no fresh ideas and Stuart Pearce is just a gormless yes man.

Future of the game is ducked for another two generation.

I watched the Italy game, it was awful, connor wickham up front , embarrassing. They were lumping it long, had no possession. The only excuse was that there were players missing, Sterling,Zaha, Rodwell, Chamberlain etc.

This Norway game was a joke, Pearce must go he has failed with the 21s now for to long.

and while im on it Trevor F''l'u king Brooking is a useless ***** . We can f.l uc k him off as well . How the f l uck hes a SIR is beyond me.

Bernsteins comments today are very worrying.

It's not surprising though is it? Apart from 1 world cup what has England ever done on the international stage? Only once in a blue moon do we produce a player with any natural ability (I've only ever seen Gazza in my life time), before that maybe Hoddle? That's the problem with English football we don't seem to appreciate that sort of player. If you work your b0lloxs off and run around a lot you're seemed good enough! We have that problem at QPR, we have one player with bags of ability in Adel but people moan about him etc, but the people that moan about him will be raving about Mackie. The only reason why the premiership is as good as it is, is because of the foreign talent we have playing here. If you name the top 10 or 20 outfield players in the premiership none of them will be English imo. As a nation we are a million miles away from the likes of Germany, Spain, even bl00dy Belgium now! We all need to face it that we will not compete at the business end in a major tournament for at least another 20-30 years, imo we are at the same level as Ireland, Scotland, etc.

Martin Samuel raises some very good points regards how we, as a nation, seem to view the importance of u21 football in comparison to other nations:

The full national team have a pathetic and pointless friendly in which they include Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Danny Welbeck, Phil Jones and Jack Rodwell, when these players would have massively improved the u21s.
