The Poolie Bunker

If you could pick a England team made up of any players from anytime what would you go for ?

The best English players from any time.

Hth.

He didn't specify they had to be English so my team would smash yloops

Who would bet against it?

In my opinion they should of built the team around Paul Scholes instead of been wasted on the left off Midfield to accommodate for Gerrard and Lampard, Don't get me wrong both were great players and have had great carers but Scholes is the best English Midfielder that England have produced in the last 20-30 year along With Gazza, They missed a trick in building a team around him look at Italy with Pirlo and the succes they had, We had brilliant Defenders at the time to in Ferdinand and Terry Ashley Cole, Along with Michael Owen in his prime and not to mention a young fresh Wayne Rooney bursting onto the scene, Shame the England Hirachy didn't recognise the Scholes situation.

I agree about scholes every player of that era knew how great he was even Xavi named him as the best player of his generation

Expected a better showing against Nigeria, decent first half but Sterling consistently makes the wrong decision. The commentator said he's improved his finishing but I don't see it, maybe he just had more chances with Man City being so attacking. I've all but lost whatever enthusiasm I had for the World Cup and no penis tattoo pledges will change that.

SuperMac 5 Cyprus 0 and Gazza are in my squad.

I'd settle for Banks, Cohen, Wilson, Charlton, Moore, Stiles, Ball, Charlton, Peters, Hurst, Hunt.

After 17 appearances in the World Cup final stages and 9 in the final stages of the European Championship it's still the only time we've lifted a trophy.

As the Americans like to say, the winningest are the best.

Pugh, Pugh, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub (and four others) would always make my first XI

I'd pick a strictly route one team full of robust defenders, preferably hairy arsed, lanky forwards and spud-footed, combative midfielders who enjoy a bit of hoofball. Minimum of two fat lads in the starting 11. I'd then stand on the touch line shouting, "Put it in the mixer" and triggering confrontations with the opposition bench. I'd also expand the brass band to enormous numbers (two hundred tubas for added bass) and make them play some WW1 marching classics as well as the current repertoire of tunes from war fillums. Maybe commission a special tune to commemorate the Suez campaign too.

Think we'd be unlikely to win but it would be fun to watch and we'd be true to our Ingerlund DNA rather than the strange version of it that the FA keep droning on about.

And our official song would be, "Another World Cup, Another Planet" performed with Blink 182.

Result! Southgate's squad has got all of that except the fat lads

Sam Allardyce’s World Cup masterplan cruelly denied by his own fat headed greed. What might have been.

He didn’t do anything wrong check the film he said he needs to ok it with FA
