They should never have built that stadium in London as unfortunately southern England is full of southerners. Why the fook would you buy a ticket for £50 or whatever to 'support' England then mercilessly boo an England player for making a making a mistake. FFS he's playing for England I know they earn a lot of money but everybody makes mistakes, these fookers are not real football fans. They are wankers who watch the Premiership on TV. How do they expect them to play without fear at Wembley when if God forbid a player makes a mistake they get abuse like a pantomime villain.

It wasn't just a mistake though was it PJ, what the fook was he doing trying to pass back in that situation? But agree the booing was unneccesary.

It was out of order but it was because it was Cole he got booed, if anyone else made that mistake they wouldnt have been booed.

The shocking mistake is not the issue, what is going on the heads of such morons? What has become of the people of this once great nation?

So Lampard wouldn't have got any with if it was him would he tree?

It's because they play for Chelsea, and because it's Cole who's a knobhound. But what these thick not nice people can't get through there minuscule brains is that they are supporting England, it's not panto it's football and these fookers aren't football fans.

Aye Lampard would have been booed too.

Just dont agree that its anything to do with playing for Chelsea, no one is arsed anymore about that.



He cheated on Cheryl Cole so he deserved it

oh yes they are!!!

Cant understand how anyone enjoys watching international football i'd sooner goto a non league game. I think ive seen two good games (concerning England) at international level in the 20 yrs or so ive been taking an interest in football.

That's fair enough you'd never buy a ticket for an England game what gets me is these people appear to despise the people they have actually paid a lot of money to watch.

I don't get it

I get it. Ashley Cole is a 'lovely lovely person'.

I think the booing had more to do with the very poor performance. I wouldn't have personally booed, never have at football, but the game felt more like a defeat to me particularly as I had backed 5 nil Ahhhhhhhhh, maybe everyone in the crowd had also backed England to win to nil

Why not ?

I am well aware that Ashley Cole is an arrogant little gimlet but what has it come to when we have such people booing England players as if they are watching the x factor or something, these aren't real football fans. That is my point, no wonder they don't play well in such an atmosphere. Middle class, probably armchair Manchester United following dodgepots who haven't got a clue about the game.

I propose the next England international is at a proper footy ground with only proper footy fans allowed to attend, somewhere like Oakwell or Millmoor will do. Current laws should be relaxed, tabs, flat caps, and hip flasks are an entry requirement and tickets are a quid. Let's see if Ashley Cole even contemplates such a lackadaisical back pass in that environment.

I found the booing terribly funny.

its behind you!!!!

oh yes you will!!!

That's the reason phone ins like 606 are shit, you see if you got people ringing Alan Green saying things like that they'd be worth listening to. I doubt Mr Cole would be arsed either, we've all heard the rumours. EDIT: Yes the rumours that putting a popular line from pantomime after every post is funny, and not at all annoying. We all know the Ashley Cole/Gay rumours are bollocks and that he won substantial damages from the newspapers......

oh no we havent!!!!

What I thought was out of order and totally shite was the pampered prima donna bastads whinging about getting grief from the crowd.

They're just a bunch of soft arrogant arseholes.

Ashley Cole has been shite for England for the past year or more, but England seem to have the same problem as Pools in that they can't find a pair of reasonable full backs.

If somebody has paid £50+ to watch those pansies prance around like they did on Saturday then I reckon that entitles them to boo if they wish.

The booing was on the cards. Cole just made the mistake that set it off. So he got the brunt of it.

Only the FA and football people, and PJ, seem bothered.

The game was embarrassing. Gerrard and Lampard are a joke. The both spent the whole game trying not to pass the ball to Theo Walcott. A joke and they deserved booing.

Infact they should be shot.

It's doesn't bother me that Ashley Cole is being booed, he's a cock. But the people who actually booing someone in an England shirt are fooking morons that's my only point. The same as anyone who'd boo a Pools player.

Walcott was shocking he played like his boots were on the wrong feet I'm not surprised they didn't pass him the ball.

England's players are wan-kers. Fact.

The mistake is the FA's.

Despite all the popular opinion, they insisted that Wembley HAD to be the home of the National Stadium, took seven years about building it, because of the wanky PQS's and their satatnic acolytes, completely ignored the fact that when England were playing in the Midlands and North they got sell out crowds, atmosphere and wins. Qualifications for tournaments too, although the fascination with Old Trafford could have been tempered a bit.

Go down to London, you get three Chelsea players and everyone else is playing away from home. And the three Chelsea players are shite....ergo the crowd don't give a fookin' monkeys.

Wembley was shite, is shite and always will be shite because it's full of disaffected cockneys who can't leave the club rivalries in their own ground.

Finally someone gets my point

Even the old stadium with all it's tradition was a dump, and equally shite in terms of atmosphere (worse actually).

I'd have built it in the North West or just a bit further South (somewhere close to the M6) despite what you hear about the North East being a football hotbed far more people (as there's more to watch it) watch football in the North West.

The Southern folk unfortunately can't forget club rivalry when 'supporting' England.

That just shows your knowledge of all things football, pj. The majority of England fans come from the smaller teams in the football league and non-league and mainly from the north of England and the midlands. As a lot of the fans from these clubs never actually win anything they tend to find a big club mentality in following England. Fans from Premiership and Championship clubs are well outnumbered by fans of smaller clubs. Of course if you'd ever got out of your armchair and went to watch England you'd know this fact

As for Walcott, he is the man who has replaced David Beckham. He's a better player by far, ie: he can use both feet, can tackle, can beat a man, can score hat-tricks for England and isn't a one-footed show pony who is finished.

For Pools version of Beckham see Sir Richard Humphreys, Knight of the Realm.

Fook me, you even managed to wedge a dig in on Humhreys for no reason whatsoever!!!

Bravo Sir, Bravo!!!!!!

I've been to several England games at the old Wembley and when they went round the country building the new one, the last being at Old Trafford against Macedonia, when Downing got dogs abuse from a group of Southern fans around me then they cheered louder than at any other point in the match when he was subbed. Then at the end the game when Gary Neville came over to applaud the fans he was told to "fack off you farkin prick" nice. To suggest 90,000 people come from non league clubs and smaller clubs is as ridiculous as your Humphreys analogy, maybe the ones that travel to away games are.

I suggested it should be built in the Midlands or the North, in my last post. You were probably too busy foaming at the mouth over Humphreys to mention it. I think you need help on this issue, why mention him in this thread? Do you have a voodoo doll dressed in white wearing number three? Oh course Beckham has had his day starting for England but he made a positive impact when he came on, and Walcott should always start before him but on Saturday he was really poor, how can you dispute that!? He's a fantastic talent and exciting to watch but he's only 19 and as a winger he isn't going to find consistency at that age. Are you not allowed to say he had a bad game?

I also agree that Wembley should have been built further North (But we are going to say that arent we?)
There was an interesting article in yesterdays Sun by Ian Wright (Footballer ) about the dullness that is Wembley Stadium!

I was there in February for the game Vs Switzerland and considering there was 85,000+ in there, The atmosphere was dull, dull, dull! This could be down to the fact that the football on show wasnt great, Me and my mate (ProudPoolie) went and I have to say that everyone around us were either Chelski, West Ham or Arsenal fans! You could hear them boo Ashley Cole before the game even kicked off, But that could have been a coincidence as it was about the same time he did the dirty on Cheryl!

Wembley is a beautiful ground and I'd love to see Pools play a Playoff final there, But the atmospheres were better when the national side did its "ground tour" between Wembleys

In that time internationals were played all over the shot and had sell out crowds and a very minimal amount of Prawn Sarnie eaters - Which is another gripe I have about the new Wembley!

I never thought I would have said this ten years ago but - I couldn't give a flying one about England's footy team!!!!

I get to see the England team 'live' more often than any other Uk team on telly here and my opinion is that they 'go through the motions.' Much as a sewage worker does.

If they played Premiership football against people like Azerbaijhan, Andorra, and even Croatia, they'd win eight-nowt every time.

However they make nice patterns, lose the ball, drop back into paper shaped 4-4-2 and then get a lucky 2-1 or summat. It's just over coached.

Or do I mean shite???

We are obviously showing our our lack of "knowledge of all things football". Every single one of those England fans in Minsk tonight where fans of Accrington, Chester, and Vauxhall Motors give or take a couple of Runcorn followers and just look at the glorious result. It just shows what happens when neither Ritchie Humphreys (who should and I quote "fuck off out of my club") and David Beckham don't start
