I think it is fair to say after reading this that some on here don’t care much for England! Thing is Steven Gerrard does, he loves playing for his country & showed that again last night. He wasn’t captain because he was only ever going to play ½ a game at the most. He was showed complete respect when he came off, he even apologised & was told “thats fine”
He wasn’t kept on the pitch as its obvious what he can do & that we have a massive game against the Goonies. Now, of course I am not privy to what Gerrard is told or what is discussed between him and the England camp, it seems some people here are though! How do you know if Gerrard was or wasn’t asked about being captain? Perhaps the situation is fine with him & it was explained? Parker - what a crap choice? Isnt this the bloke who was football writers player of the year (no doubt I'll be shot down by people poo pooing that award) and also England fans player of the year - no doubt England fans dont understand football either!
It was great being back at Wembley just days after our win, very good turnout for the game & a pretty decent atmosphere for a friendly. I’m from the South btw so please don’t bite my head off – Im certainly not Anti North & tbh I don’t see the same hatred some of you guys do, for sure I just don’t get the whole thing about the FA being against us at all. Gerrard wouldn’t play if that was the case, just think about that.
That Dirk Kuyt bloke looked ok as well, great cross for their 2nd & he seems to have more pace when playing for the Dutch! Robben ripped us a new arse a couple of times, he's as fast as anything!
