Nugent should start ahead of Rooney anyways! He isn't stuck in the super-hero mould mentality and actually works hard.

Heh, Nugent stole a goal from a yid! Legend!

awwwww what a night to be from ireland, great win for the republic and a fantastic one for the north! (yes i support both)

Just goes to show Gerrard needs to be playing Centre Mid without Lampard getting in his way!!!

Cant say that performance filled me with confidence though

Nugent and Defoe should both start.

Drop Downing, switch Lennon on to the left and bring back Beckham.

Drop Lampard and keep Hargreaves and Gerrard in the centre.

The back four are alright but didn't exactly get tested tonight so you can't really see how well they work together.

What was said at half-time to spur the players into action is what I want to know. Whatever it was should have been said after the Israel game but for some reason the same team that got booed off the pitch on Saturday turned up for the first half of this game too!?!?!

Good choices....

they need to get some balls and just go for it. Lennon and Johnson showed some spark.

Rooney is really getting on my nerves, the team have enough problems without his temper tantrums every 5 mins, he knows people are going to have a go at him as he is easy pickings, he needs to find God or go to angry management classes... he obviously cant work under pressure.

the managers example from the press conference doesnt help.... he never has any respect for anyone , including past and present england players, this shows from the comments he has made , the fans dont like. I think if Maclaren gets Beckham back this will be a start. Dawn

Manager storms out. aol news....

England manager Steve McClaren stormed out of his post-match press conference after Wednesday's 3-0 win over Andorra.

McClaren has been under siege from the media all week and was then forced to sit through sustained calls for his head throughout the game as England eventually ran out comfortable victors in Barcelona.

Clearly irked at the treatment he has been receiving, McClaren civilly answered just two questions before his voice began to crack and he got to his feet declaring: "Gentlemen, if you want to write whatever you want to write, you can write it because that is all I am going to say. Thank you."

Reflecting on the win, McClaren said: "I said at half-time, this is when we have to stick together, this is when we have to step forward and show real guts and character. The players did that. I am proud of them. Probably a few of them have grown up.

"Nothing concerns me about what people write or say. What matters is what is on the inside. I have had fantastic support this week from the players and the staff; from everyone within the squad and also outside it. There is a great determination to prove people wrong."

Although the eventual margin of victory, achieved thanks to a Steven Gerrard double and a late tap-in from debutant David Nugent, was acceptable in terms of pre-match expectation, it was the reaction of the England fans which really grabbed the attention.

The vast majority of the thousands of supporters who had flown in for the game joined in anti-McClaren chants.

i say fair play to him, bout time the english press got there heads out of the england teams ass to see that they really anrt as good as the love to believe

The first half of England's game yesterday was nothing short of shit. Not that I think all the booing and negative chants are helping anyone but you can understand why the fans were unhappy at half time.

Nice to see an England team without Lampard. He's such a useless, uninspiring, and over rated player. How on earth can he start in centre midfield ahead of Gerrard, who I see as being the best in the world in his position? I totally agree with RS8MB0R8's line up choice. Andy Johnson is crap, it's the harsh truth. Rooney has yet to really impress me at the international stage. I'd like to see Defoe and Nugent starting up front, a couple of players who seem to value the England shirt. I don't know, this might spur Rooney on to try and work a bit harder. We also need David Beckham back.

Oh, and just get rid of McClaren.

Is it worth Arsenal turning up to any more games this year?

Hey, you got one goal - albeit scored by a defender.... who you bought from Chelsea! :lol:
