England vs Hungary: Pointless Friendly 11 Aug 10

Could be a blessing after all this pointless friendly. Nothing better going into the opening game of the season against a team like Arsenal than with your captain going into it on the back of 2 stunning goals.

+ called up Zamora / Gibbs / played Joe Hart in goal.

All played well too.

What position is Stevie playing in

What position is Stevie playing in

Sitting position at the moment. Just subbed off. ;-)

Glad he is off for a well deserved rest before the arsenal game. . .  But obviously i meant before that smart arse

he went off 82nd minute if that.

He was the only one working his ass of.

Stevie pulls England out of the sh*t again.

So what position did he play then . . . Oh and not so much of a rest then. Probably glad of the game time for his fitness anyway

TBH I'm no good with positions (ohh err!) unless it is the Keeper.

But nice to see Rooney go off, and England score. Drop Shrek and bring back Crouch.

Rooney injured? Crosses fingers

Just said he is having treatment for something

on ITV

Just heard Gerrard is getting some treatment.

Should be OK. 1st proper game since the Hull game last season

Oh come on! ! ! Treatment on his shear awesomeness hopefully. Im sorry Stevie you played too well today. You will have to go under the knife so your as poor as the rest of the players

he looked fine when he came off and looked fine all game.

Sure its just the game rub down by Ms Curan

Captain Fantastic to the rescue again I see.

Well done Mr Gerrard.

Did Gibbs and Wilshere get much time on the pitch and if so did they go ok ?

What was the point of an England game tonight? Can any give an explanation other than a money making exercise by the FA?  Sooner all international games, friendly & competitive, are part of summer tournaments & post season games, the better. 

Did Gibbs and Wilshere get much time on the pitch and if so did they go ok ?

Who?

They were both on the bench at KO.

Wiltshire came on at 83mins for our Stevie. I don't think Gibbs got a game.

Edit: must have missed him. 

I'm not sure it's a FA thing Roddenberry, I think it's a FIFA thing, almost every national team is playing a friendly, FIFA scheduled it. Holland played too today, but at least Van Marwijk dealt with it by not calling up anyone who competed in the World Cup, to not make their season preparations even worse and at the same time give other players a chance to prove themselfs.

Well done Steven Gerrard. Making Rooney, Lampard, Terry and Cole look Sh*te!


Well done to Kieran Gibbs as well. He looked really convincing tonight in place of the rancid disgusting thing that is Ashley Cole.

Did Gibbs and Wilshere get much time on the pitch and if so did they go ok ?

Gibbs came on at half time and was excellent. Wilshere came on with 8 minutes left and didn't really do anything of note, apart from one dangerous high tackle.

As usual LFC bail out a piss poor England. Lampard, Terry & Rooney were shocking as usual.
