Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 They are both in the England squad Lets hope they are actually given a go though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah just seen that. Johnson might but doubt that Neville will. Gary is out though for both games as he is injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I agree there, I cant see Johnson starting though, he'll probably only get 20mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Would guess that he is going to start Defoe and Crouch again for the game and as you said if Johnson is going to play it will be from the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I know I'm probably biased but I think Johnson and Crouch would work alot better. Also the fact that I think Defoe is shite doesnt help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather_6 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 So the England strikers are Defoe, D Bent, Crouch and AJ Hope Johnson does well but not to well, because other wise he might be wanted by other prem teams then we'll lose might him But for now I hope he plays his heart out for England! if he gets the chance!

Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 If he stayed loyal to Crystal Palace for so long I'm sure he'll have no problem doing the same for us. He loves this club already, and is grateful that we wanted him to play for such a great club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 he chose us over wigan and blackburn so i think he likes us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 he chose us over wigan and blackburn so i think he likes us. 47014[/snapback] That is definitely the key word here, he chose us. Which shows alot in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetrip Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 These chances don't come along too often for fringe players especially with the amount of first choice strikers out. I hope Johnson does himself justice because it might be his last chance once Rooney and Owen are back in contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 According to Sky Sports they think he might be starting on Saturday in place of his brother on the right back, which will be good if its true instead of someone like Luke Young as he has played well there for us this season so far I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Defoe is expected to start upfront with Crouch for England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead1 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'd put big money on AJ and Neville starting on Saturday, when they interviewed him on Saturday (Neville) they kinda said that he was playing instead of their Sh1thead Gary!! I also think that after watching him at B'burn and Spurs Mclaren must be ready to pitch for him!! Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Defoe is expected to start upfront with Crouch for England 47972[/snapback] i cant see why. hes shite. to my knowledge he hasnt scored a goal this season so far. i think either bent or AJ should start with crouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 why not just Bent and AJ? im sure Crouchinho will play though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetrip Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 why not just Bent and AJ? im sure Crouchinho will play though 48012[/snapback] They are definately the players in form atm, defoe cant even get a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 looks like pip is in at no start for AJ though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 i cannot comprehend why people kiss the arse of defoe. he hasnt played a game all season and he isnt on form. on his day he can be a good striker but he hasnt lived up to that. AJ and crouch have been the performers this season so far with bent coming up behind them they should be in the team not defoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Im not a fan of Defoe at all, he's over rated and IMO he's shite. I think Johnson deserves his chance because Defoe has had numerous oppurtunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Totaly agree, i dont rate him either, think hes greedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 right here we go. i didnt see the first half but i saw defoes goals. he took em quite well. from what i saw of AJ he looked good. i think he should be given a go against macedonia on wednesday. anyone know how neville played. i didnt see much of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Steptoe, for me was only beaten to MOTM by Gerrard or Hargreaves. I couldn't believe it when he was subbed, but maybe he had done enough to warrant his place against FYR Macedonia. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Neville set up Defoe's second goal, he had a good game and should definitely start on wednesday. With Defoe scoring twice there is not a chance in hell AJ will start the next game, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Thought Steptoe & Tennis Ball head looked pretty good on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
