i have already said my respects to the man

being honest i hate the whole thing! no one says anything when someone is alive! only when theyve died!

i doubt any one person on here watched him on a tv show and thought wow he is such an environmentalist and such a great man! RUBBISH! you watched it and thought what a looney! he was entertaining to some not to everyone

whilst i respect what the man has done i will not say i ever liked his programme mainly because of his personality, i didnt mind the bits where he was being serious but when he went off on one with all the catch phrases it wasnt for me

tv companies wont help either! hence why his website is now asking for people to donate money to a fund, as now thw tv companies dont have their man they arent really going to give ut any moey to the cause are they!

as for all the animal lovers on here who admired steves work so much and admired what he has done and admired him as a person

im sure you have all donated money by now? so well done to you al

You don’t have to donate money for appreciating what he did. Appreciation is showing a form of respect to the man himself, and the passion he held close to his heart..You don’t even have to be an animal lover to respect his work ethic, but you can be a respectful person by showing respect to what he did..The things he saved…Also, the things he let us see…But mainly, him risking his life to save these animals from extreme dangerous situations, as in extreme forest blazes, and for him showing us things that not many people got to see close up like that.

Individuals like you do frustrate me at times, Token…The donation thing is a prime example, and the way you put it..Think before you add the little extra bits,. You basically tried to make others feel guilty, the ones who respected him as a human being, with this donation thing…Learn the difference before replying.

totally agree robbo!

im an evertonioan so johnson being in the squad is a boost for us
BUT! last yearwas bents season! he couldnt help but score! and got rewarded with nothing

id put him before defoe everytime to be honest id put alot of engish strikers before defoe!

now now lennon on the right!

i think lennon will always be a 30 minute player for england to be honest
i think theyl put him on when the other teams defence is getting tired lets face it if you where a left back the LAST person you would want to see is aaron lennon legging it at you!.

and i think thats how the management see it aswell
me personally id always go for pace on a wing!

midfield for me now would be!

joe cole on the left hargreaves and gerrard in the middle and id alternate betweeen halves with lennon and wright phillips

The manager sees it at the moment as he is inexperienced and is a teenager..He will definatetly be in the first team from the start, when the time is right, which will be very very soon! He is too talented to keep out for too long..Way way too talented!

I think Downing should be dropped forever as he is a waste of space and has nothing to offer down the wing! Yes, he can cross, but he has nothing, no pace to beat a player to whip them balls in! His passing has always been horrific, even for Middlesborough..His pace is like watching a snail cross the road…He never ever plays attacking passing when he has position, instead passes back, or little short balls to the side…Rarely he plays attacking passing football…The player is an absolute waste of space! And before some of you say, “well, its only 2 matches”..I have watched him for Middlesborough for the last 2 years..He is garbage!

Also, remember that Phillips isn’t getting a game for Chelsea…And in my opinion, Lennon pi.sses all over him! He won’t get a starting birth ahead of Lennon!

Macedonia are playing quite well. England havent really got into their stride yet.

It’s just that England played utter rubbish! Seriously, what the fu.ck has Bent got to do to actually get on the pitch? Fu.ck his 25 goals for Charlton last year :roll:. What has he got to do? Score 50 goals a season just to get on the pitch? And what the fu.ck has Lennon got to do to get a starting birth? I mean, you got boring players like Downing wondering down the wing at walking pace, when you got Lennon on the bench…Drop Lampard, stick Gerrard central, and put Lennon on the wing! Fu.ckinhell, it ain’t rocket science! And of course, get rid of Downing full stop! God, that dude nearly put me to sleep, I swear..I was nearly O.D’ing off Pro Plus!

Defoe is a good player, but Bent deserves a place ahead of him..He barely played last year and didn’t have to prove himself to get in the team..Bent worked hard to try and force his way in by scoring 24 goals last year and didnt even get picked for the world cup, or even played in these 2 qualifiers! It’s a disaster and a total fu.cking shambles!

So you think it wil improve things bringin Bent on – ffs – he’s not an International class player – Gerrard was just about playing central midfield after 35 minutes – and he was shyte anyway – i thought he was our worst player and thats saying something – apart from Terry they were all shyte

As I said before Robbo they need a decent skilfull midfielder – preferably 2 – where the feck we gonn find them I don’t know

As for lennon – same old story – head down and run for the line – he gave possession away at a critical point in the match
And as for Johnson – another Championship player along with Bent – we are scraping the feckin barrell here

Your comment about Bent is almost laughable…The youngster was 2nd top goalscorer last season, ahead of some of the best strikers in the world..Have you ever seen him play? With Rooney suspended, and Owen out..He should have started ahead of Defoe, and ahead of Johnson as he earned his place in the English team! That is what I was saying, which would have been obvious to someone with any little bit of knowledge about football…Even a 5 year old would have known that! Jeez :roll:

Joe Cole and Wayne rooney are young, skillful tenacious little players, along with Lennon! Your knowledge of players, and your knowledge of football as a whole is extremely disappointing and shocking for someone who claims to have both…This is my last message to you, as your knowledge about football, and other things within the sport, has simply put me off from wasting effort replying to your waste of space posts.

Reply all you like..It will just be the same post worded different :roll:. Don’t expect a reply from me, as it won’t happen.

well its a shame you have to go sharon im also a bit dissapointed in the so called friends you made on this message board who seemed to of left you when you needed them!

as for the head in a crocs mouth? i think i was referring to him feeding an angry crocodile whilst holding a baby in his arms, it was in alot of papers!
i have read (only today) about his parents who started the australia zoo and i can do nothing but congratulate him on his and his families work with animals

i merely commented on his choice of lifestyle which was a tiny bit more risky than smoking a cigarette

res in peace steve i admire you for your work with animals and as a conservationist

Everyone has been saying that because its the only thing they have found that is a negative issue, but I watched that program, and he wasn’t as close as you think…He was about 10 yards away from the crocodile for a start, and the baby was in his other arm, at the other side of him! People like you, read the media bullsh1t, Token. They made it as if he and his baby was up at the crocodiles mouth!

He was a lovely man who saved so many animals from forest fires, etc etc..And did so much, like others have said, for wild life! He would go into forest fires to rescue these things..That came first to him(and obviously his family)..Everything else came second..

People like you, Token, obviously knew little about the kind of man he was, and what he truly loved doing…He should be appreciated, not slated..Because to me, he is very much appreciated!

Don’t get him confused with his on screen hyper active ways we saw alot of…Look up about what he did when he was off screen before slating him.

like i said before.. england are expected, and will qualify, no matter who will play

next 20 months are going to be pretty much boring for england to be honest.. nothing to get excited about for a while

So what…..We qualify, then get knocked out. Nothing changes, Matty.

The next 20 months? Do you think it will pick up? We all thought that about the World Cup…Did it? No. Euro 2004..Did it pick up? No. The qualifiers then..Did they pick up after 20 months? No.

Yup. All over now. Pitiful last set performance from Andy to be honest, but even getting to that stage in the US Open is a good achievement for a young guy.

Good effort, Murray, and a REAL good tournement! The sport looks good for British tennis :)

I was talking mainly about midfielders , but if we do have one world class player then that is Rooney
Joe Cole has been wasted at Chelsea , as has S Wright Phillips , they need to play more often- Chelsea are ruining it for the English players there

What I mean about putting the foot on the ball – is sitting in midfield – being a magnet for the ball – beating players with little movement and spreading the ball about – Platini type Hoddle type
we don’t have a player like that – ours all run around 100 mph as if their arrises are on fire !!!

First of all, Joe Cole was in Chelsea’s first team for most of the season last season. Second of all..Carrick would make a good sitting midfielder…He is the only one who can do a job of that type, as all the others are different…I would like to see Paul Scholes come out of retirement to be honest.

And Chelsea are not only ruining English players..They are ruining players in general..They have 3 teams for fu.ck sake! And most of them could play at a high level, but won’t leave because they are earning good money..Geremi is a prime example, as is Cudicini, and others alike..They have stated they want to fight for a first place..If this was an team that was finishing 8th in the league, even 7th, even for United, Arsenal, or Liverpool, they would have left ages ago!

Prattle on all you like Robbo – WE DONT HAVE A GREAT MIDFIELDER IN THE RANKS – Gerrard is a power player , he’s not a foot on the ball , total control player

Until we do produce a great centre midfielder then we wil not win a thing
We have had more skillfull player in the past who hardly got a look in on the England team – Tony Currie , Stan Bowles , Frank Worthington – to name but a few

Colin Bell was an awesome player – if you think Gerrard has energy , you shoudl have seen that guy play

Another factor has to be our goalkeepers – we are pretty low on good English goalkeepers – most of the keepers on the premieship are now foreigners
Robinson just doesn’t do it for me – then what’s the alternatives after that ?

Then with this WHU fiasco – bringing in 2 players on the cheap – only for them to be resold next year – I hope soccer isn’t going to take this route – it’s a blueprint to disaster

You don’t have a clue..You are slating real good players..Do you actually watch football? It is not at all ANYTHING to do with skill..You don’t HAVE to have skill to proceed…Gerrard is one of the best midfielders in the world, and I cannot believe that you are even attempting to find excuses to slate him. Robinson is a very very good goalkeeper, a goalkeeper that any team in the world would love to have between there goal posts. Who gives a fu.ck about these other players you are mentioning..This is all about the present, not the past. Football is alot faster now, a more up to speed game…You barely get a second on the ball in this generation of football. Your comments are very strange and bizarre.

There is no alternative..We have amazing quality and depth in our team..The only thing I can think of is its a passion thing..The drive, which they fail to show…And I still believe its because the average wage for an England international is about 40 to 50 grand a week, probably more than that, as in AVERAGE pay…As I said..Money comes first to these internationals now…Football is second priority…If you don’t believe me, then look at how they all demand more money and what not..It’s crazy crazy madness!

FFS Robbo – get a grip lad I’m not slatign Gerrard – he is a good footballer – but not a great footballer – we don’t have any great footballers
look at Brazil tonight – pure skill – we don NOT have 1 player comes near their skill
I love watching English football – its fast and furious – but take it to the International stage and we can’t compete 1966 – that’s 40 years ago now Robbo I know you’ll need a calculator to work it out but believe me

Did you not watch Brazil in the world cup? They were rubbish! And the fact being is that, just maybe, if we had that manager in charge ahead of Sven, then maybe we could have done better, but it’s a question that we cannot answer. Sven was a disaster in this world cup..But we have GREAT players, and Joe Cole is one, Gerrard is another, Rooney is another..Our back line is one of the best, if not, the best in the world..Brazil have Ronaldino and Kaka…They are there technically gifted players…But we also have our technically gifted players too..So quit with the dull posts, because Joe Cole and Rooney are players who can put there foot on the ball and make magical moments…I question your judgement on players you consider good, but not great…Personal opinion, but a very good one.
