re carlton cole.

people got excited about him at chelsea - young, english, fast but could control the ball and score - but he's never really done it.

COME ON ENGLAND!

 

[deadringer]

Yes, but we are playing the giants of Montenegro.

macedonia beating spain 2-0

night of the underdog!

MILNER'S COMING ON! FUCKING JAMES MILNER. FINALLY COMING ON FOR ENGLAND.

I've wanted him in the squad for FECKING years

excellent player.

 

[Balbi]

Nice attempt from Concrete (thick and hard) Cole.

 

[nicksonic]

i never quoted the post from QofG's, so i added 're carlton cole'.

He did mumble about how embarrased he would be if Carlton Cole scored

 

[Balbi]

Defoe couldn't pass wind

Thank you.

 

[nicksonic]

watching football whilst posting isn't that easy.

*must invent telepathy posting method*

i now have a perfectly lucid picture of Mr QofG's!

 

[Balbi]

Lampard's still fecking useless - if he'd gone wide to Milner, Cole would have scored - but he's still pulling the 'i'm going to shoooooooooooot' shit

 

[nicksonic]

Jd and coke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Gooooaaaaaallllllllllllll

 

[Balbi]

SEE! SEE! that's what i'm fucking talking about Well done Jimmy

 

[nicksonic]

90% Milner, 10% Defoe.

Argentina v England friendly anyone...?

 

[Balbi]

99% Jimmy. Nearly gave one to Carlton then

Cole is an EXCELLENT holder upper of the ball. He's not quite Emile, but he's just as useful. And when Emile's gone, Carlton will take over - because he is worth being on the pitch, even if he doesn't score goals. Great team player.

 

[nicksonic]

the old 'striker who doesn't score but should be in the team' argument...

i agree with that pov btw

 

[Balbi]

How in the name of christ did we allow Stewart Downing to play left midfield

 

[nicksonic]

milner's doing well, but who'll play in the next game?

 

[Balbi]

Milner. No argument now. He's created three or four chances from the left in twenty minutes or so, whereas Young created none

 

[nicksonic]

johnson showing shades of a younger johnson...

 

[nicksonic]

Milner. No argument now. He's created three or four chances from the left in twenty minutes or so, whereas Young created none

altho neither have played in the qualifiers so far on the left-hand side...

(tries to remember who has).

 

[Balbi]

Come on Carlton

 

[nicksonic]

did well to come back from some shocking mistakes.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Fair score that.

 

[Balbi]

That'll do. Cole cementing his squad place.
