England vs Poland 15/10/13

[genome]

Januzaj interviewed on Kosovan TV last night apparently.

Said that he doesn't get to choose which national team he will play for, that is his fathers decision though he knows that Turkey & Serbia are an absolute no no. Albanian FA have never tried to contact him and Roy Hodgson has spoken with his dad and said that England would be interested if they were.

Said that a decision would be made 'in the coming days'.

Being reported there as either Albania or Belgium apparently.

I think it's lolworthy that people are going mad over one performance - shows how desparate we are for a special player in this country.

[Wax Jacket]

the Belgians are following his every move too tbf

he'll choose Albania I reckon

[genome]

Belgium would be a good shout for him I think, Hazard and De Bruyne are the only two AMs I can think of that would be his competition, and I can see them being geniune contenders soon, whereas (if he is actually the real deal) while he would walk into the England side I don't see us being as competitive as them.

Much like Wilshire, I'd rather we look to use players like Nick Powell, Ross Barkley and other young Enlishmen instead of someone who's just moved to the country.

It's a joke about an actual Monkey in space not a code word for a black man in space.

This is getting as bad as feminism.

Word is Gary Neville snitched...........

Surely that must be utter, utter bollocks.

Intrestingly*, someone must have, a point the Telegraph makes.

Unless of course someone retold the anecdote/joke and the fact Hodgson used it and then someone told The Sun who made up the source as a player from within the squad because they wanted to make a story.

[Silver Fox]

If anyone leaked it then they'd surely have some sort of axe to grind with Hodgson and knew the press would blow it out of proportion. Fortunately there was nobody in the dressing room rel8ed to a high profile football figure who is also in bed with the media and has over the last couple of weeks been releasing parts of his autobiography slagging off the FA for not giving him the job eh?

[Royal Lady]

Good call. He's getting on now anyway and may not even figure in finals next year.

[stealthpapes]

"For Mr Hodgson or anyone else to make an apology if they fail to understand why the words used were offensive or potentially is not the response of an institution with the resources and profile of the FA. The "innocent remark" made out of ignorance is sadly a common feature of football.

"We...urge the FA to provide mandatory 'race appreciation' training and 'cultural capital and cultural intelligence' training to Roy Hodgson and all football managers in the UK.
