Sorry, as explained on the SRL thread, we made an effort for his debut, but why the fuck would I want to spend 15 qud on return taxi fares, 10 quid a pint for 3 pints of beer and watch a listless England performance at midnight? That is the cost of my 4 day trip to Sofia in 2 weeks where I can bring 8 litres of Thracian Nectar home with us.
Sure I will make an effort in a WC or Euros but then I am damned if I’d open my mouth because the pub would be full of England haters and just dying to laugh at us as they get to do every tournament.
I couldn’t give a toss to be honest maybe when JWP is made Captain I’ll make an effort
Now cricket and soemtimes rugby - hell yes those guys put in some effort
Shelvey’s going to have to work on his temperament and discipline before he can think of an England recall. He looks good when he plays and then he gets banned again. You can’t afford that sort of thing in tournament football where one red card probably means you won’t play again.
