Aaron Ramsey, England vs. Wales.
Theo Walcott, samesies.

Silent Stan is my higher power.
PLEASE STAN DO SOMETHING WE IMPLORE YOU!
I wish I knew where he lived. I should be within a half-day’s driving distance of him.

Unfortunately, Arsenal don't play like Denmark,
for better or worse. Bendtner’s awesome for them. Too bad he couldn’t cut it for us.
This.
Sure, but to be fair to him
he was played out of position all last year. When he played, his goalscoring record was actually pretty solid…it just came in streaks, and he missed sitters.
I really think he's going to be a perfect compliment to Gyan at Sunderland
With Sessegnon behind them, that’s going to be an awfully interesting team to watch all of a sudden.

Shame, but he just wasn't gonna be the player he is now playing for us.
I think moving away has helped him recover from the mental trauma faster. I wish he had a real chance here.
Too bad we didn’t have a buy back clause.
This.
Bench Everyone
Arggggh…stupid injuries

Agreed
Internationals should be left to the summer months, I know there’s all sorts of qualifications and stuff, friendlies to figure out what’s what, but c’mon, we just started the league seasons, no need to go out and play everyone on every damn weekend there is…

Wales should've tied/won
Bale called offsides incorrectly, and their striker blew a sitter set up by Aaron Ramsey (Man of the Match).
Definitely, England played like s**t today, with the exception of Ashley Young
He’s going to end up being the steal of the year no doubt, and to think United only got him for what, 10 mil? Where the hell were we on that? Joe Hart also made one hell of a save towards the end

although said save didnt matter
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.

Mertesacker did not do well for Germany yesterday
He looked horrible and Poland is awful. Not an encouraging sign.

Don't base his skills off of just one game
Everybody has their off game, plus some people don’t have as much of an impact on their national team as they do for their clubs. For example, Messi basically brings every defender in his way to school when he plays for Barca, but his career for Argentina has been quite mediocre, he’s still one of the best players in the world though. Mertesacker has experience and a great skill set, he probably won’t bring the ball up as much as Vermaelen would though (which is probably what we’re going to miss the most), but he’s still a good center back. If Koscielny plays this Saturday, we should be just fine

I wish it had been his foot instead
or his leg

No, that would only happen if he had stayed at Arsenal.
Captain, there are doubt's...
