I think I might take him off 'ignore' then.

Jonjo Shelvey has been very good recently, imo

Good lord, I hope Smalling isn't playing in the World Cup.

Not unless he suddenly discovers he's Italian.

Just bought some bread, I'm leaving a trail of bread crumbs from the pond in the nearby park, donning a poker visor and standing in a bucket in the vain hope an army of ducks turn up quack loudly all the way through and it causes a twitter storm #quackajack so much so they cancel the game tonight and pull out of the World Cup as the country is now on duck watch

I'm not an England fan so it's none of my business, but loads of 'fans' are being complete cocks about Tom Cleverley.
His crimes are being a Manchester United player, being in a poor United team, looking a bit average and regularly turning up to play for his country when asked. For this he gets a petition against him and booed when the manager picks him on the substitutes bench.
Unless I've missed great waves of class English centre midfielders, I don't see many who should be getting picked ahead of Cleverley in the squad - he certainly doesn't look out of place among a number of players who aren't that great that manage to get in the England squad.
It might not have occurred to some people but most of England's players are quite average and in central midfield, many of the better ones are nearing the end of their careers. Probably best to keep a few younger ones around then, eh?
The last time a player was singled out for this sort of nonsense for England I can remember was Hargreaves before World Cup 2006. How did that go?
In an era when players pick up all sorts of mystery injuries to avoid turning up for international duty or just jack it in altogether if they're not automatic picks, or petulantly refuse to be on standby for a tournament so they can get on with their summer holidays, I think Cleverley is getting a raw deal.
As I say, I don't care for England, Man Utd or Cleverley himself, but felt it should be said.

I never realised that Ray Wilkins was the spit of Jonjo Shelvey.

I absolutely agree, it's totally uncalled for. He's been turned into a scapegoat for his country, when it's not warranted. Most of the petitioners are going along with the crowd and have probably never even seen him play a full game before.

Wiltshere looking like he has potentially done his metatarsal, because Agger can't play football.
Thankfully he's up and walking off because of that stupid rule!

Don't wanna sound like a moaning old git, but what the f*** is that colour scheme on that ball about? It looks like one of the kids balls you buy from outside a paper shop at Skeggy.
