I'm almost lost for words for that England performance tonight.

But diabolical springs to mind. The left edge defence, what was going on.

I felt sorry for the young lads making their debuts, the experienced players let them down big style, no leadership, no fight, cr@p.

Oh for a Morley, Hock or McIlorum etc to bang some heads.

I think this man should be banned from this forum

Agreed.

He also does a lot of talking on the pitch and tries to motivate players - certainly for Saints he does anyway.

So earlier in the season yourself and Mugwump argued the toss with me that he was more interested in his testimonial than playing for Saints and leading by example but you are more than happy for him to now be England captain? This is despite Wilkin producing no better levels of form since your flawed argument about 2/3 months ago.

Incredible.

He's been with us 10 years. He's in his late 20s. He is fully capable of taking on the extra responsibility of leader up front. He needs to do it Things must have changed dramatically.

Steady on with the personals. It looks like Pete's rubbing off on you - Offisde Monkey I certainly have better things to do than digging up comments from other threads in a childish attempt to make a point.

I wasn't aware that time stood still.

Just to answer a couple of points.

I have a full time job. I have had for the last 10 years. It took me about 2 minutes using the search filter to see where I had posted (I don't post often, certainly not as often as you) which helped me find our previous debate.

I'm not ill. I had a bad stomach about 3 weeks ago, but thankfully I'm over that. I don't have any other awful illnesses that I hope you weren't alluding to either.

I dragged it up, childishly you may think, because I thought you were talking rubbish at the time and now that you have done a quicker U turn than a very fast U turning object, I was interested to see why you had changed your tune so quickly. Personally, I just think you talk utter garbage.

BTW, time doesn't stand still, but Jon Wilkin's form has. As in, he's still turning in very acceptable performances, just as he was a couple of months ago when you said he cared more about his testimonial and didn't talk enough.

Well done for such a reasoned response. I don't think I would have been restrained had those comments been aimed at me.

But restraint gets your point across rather than getting mod's on your back.
