England vs Northern Ireland.[R]

[Colm]

All the talk on this message board of late has been of the US-England game. But we have a more important game coming up next saturday against Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland are pretty weak at the moment and Canada beat them at home lol:D so I reckon we'll win this one with out doubt with out trying to sound arrogent. Northern Ireland will be up for it but they're very weak team and i reckon we'll win 3-0

your thoughts?

If we lose this I'll get the gun.

[Danson's Magic Hands]

We'll win, but Northern Ireland will score. It will be scored by someone I've never head of, so that doesn't narrow it down much.

When we're a goal to the good, Sven will put Phil Neville and Owen Hargreaves on to keep it tight.

I saw the Northern Ireland-Canada game. They are a poor side (though really should have scored). If England play to their best, they should have no problems getting the three points.

The match at Windsor Park could be tricky, though.

I have absolutely no confidence in England anymore. I've no idea what the result is going to be.

[When Hell Unfreezes]

I have absolutely no confidence in England anymore. I've no idea what the result is going to be.

I also have no confidence in SGE, because, it's him who's to blame for our defensive, poor performances! After getting in front!!!

But I can't see anything worse than 2-0 to us - let's face it, it's only the Micks?

[King Rooney]

i think we will dominate the game, n.ireland are very very poor. we beat them in every position for skill and comitment. i predict 4-0, gerrard, rooney (2), defoe.

n.ireland wont score, our defence is too strong for them, when we play in belfast they may score there but in england, is close to impossile imo.

If Erikscum actually picks a proper team, and doesn't play anti football as soon as we take the lead, we should stroll to victory, but who the hell knows what's gonna happen?? I think our performances over the last year or so, bar 1 or 2, have been nothing short of shambolic. I expect nothing from England anymore under Eriksson, the "football" we play under him is nothing short of filth.

[Internazionale23]

If a clinically retarted irishman was in charge of England, we should still win by a 2 goal margin.

[Colm]

I have absolutely no confidence in England anymore. I've no idea what the result is going to be.Me too :(:( but we surely can't lose to Northern Ireland?

[Mobile]

We will win 1-0 or 2-0, an unconvincing display.

[Colm]

This will be the probable team

-----------------------------Paul Robinson------------------------------

Gary Neville--------John Terry---------Rio Ferdinand---------Ashley Cole

David Beckham------Steven Gerrard------Frank Lampard-----Joe Cole

-----------------Michael Owen-------Wayne Rooney----------------

That in my book will be the team. I can't see him starting with downing so i think he'll put Joe Cole on the left becuase of his good form latley.

There's some decent players there but we should win with comfort.

[MtP07]

Per theFA.com:
Crystal Palace's Andrew Johnson sent home with an ankle injury. SGE will not add anyone else to the roster.

[CW1980]

First of all, we are not "only the Micks"!

Secondly, we may have lost to Canada, but our home form of late has been dreadful whislt our performances on the road have been more than respectable. Bear in mind, that had it not been for a cheating Italian fanny of a referee, we would have slaughtered Wales at the Millenium.

We will be bang up for this and, spurred on by 6,400 members of the Green and White Army, we will do ourselves proud.

No-one is giving us a chance, which is the way we like it.

Seeing as the majority play in the lower leagues, you would think a defeat would be humilating.

Also, I'm suprised by no replacement for AJ.
