Heskey recalled back to the England squad

[GrandOldTeam]

Seriously. Well, there goes my planned April fools joke.

This is because Big Nose thinks he is worthy of a place.

But, who is he replacing? Or is he that infatuated with Crouch, that Heskey is the closest.

Oh for the days when we had Shearer, Sheringham, Cole, Fowler, Wright et al fighting it out for the strikers position.

le tiss too...

WHAT?

Does he want the sack?! If Heskey plays ahead of AJ it will be awful. Ah well, good job I don't really give a stuff about England any more

5 goals in 43 games. Apparently he is looking to partner Owen and Heskey. Now there is no doubt this partnership worked briefly for England, and Owen and AJ are the same type of player. So I don't expect AJ to play until he performs for well enough for his club.

But this kind of move just stinks of McClaren's clear desperation. Just another clear indication of his lack of ideas and basically just repeating what Sven did.

Absolutely correct Ghost, this is symptomatic of everything wrong in our game at present, always looking back never going forward. That said Heskey is playing better now than he was but as a goal scorer................my arse

ferdinand and cole as well.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'd forgotten Ferdinand and Le Tissier. Heck we even had the likes of Sutton and Dublin scoring freely at club level back then.

All from watching one game at the weekend!

 

[Cal]

Heskey is a disgrace to the great sport.

 

[SuitsBlue]

heskey before diouf

diouf before maradonna

theres a whole timezone of a queue between heskey and the ultimate offender.

for me that is.

 

[Rook]

Heskey actually never bothered me. He's done alright at Wigan. I would actually take Heskey over Crouch. This match has 0-0 written all over it.

 

[zero]

hahaha, Next Richard Wright will get a shock call up to the england bench


HESKEY FOR ENGLAND MY ARSE!

A game incidently in which he had no shots on goal, completed just 58% of his passes, was caught offside three times, conceded four fouls and was booked, all in a game that his side lost. Mr McClaren is easily pleased huh.
