Maybe a cunning plan to lure the opposition into a sense of false security...?

Nah

 

[WhiteHawk]

Read about this yesterday, not in the least bit surprised, the English media do this sort of shit all the time with England. Wankers.

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

But it’s no great surprise and whether Panama know our line up or not they’re still going to play with 10 or 11 players behind the ball and go for a break and get a penalty like Tunisia

They should go for it

 

[YES Blade]

I was just going to say the same, I think we could all get at least 9 out of 11 right anyway so it won’t make any difference.

Na, all the media’s fault

It's the only way they can try to stay relevant in this modern age. Bunch of middle aged, middle class white males, whose sole job is to try to tell us stuff we already know!

They're the modern day equivalent of Betamax manufacturers...

The only future for the industry is those journalists who have the intellectual curiosity to ask the tough questions and demonstrate creative thinking. The likes of Andy Bull and Matt Lawton are worth paying to read....

Who would you suggest is responsible then?

Responsible for what?

Media saying Sterling dropped,hows that when his name is in the same place as Ruben on the pitch map.

Only thing it confirmed for me was that Delia Allibobar is going to miss out because of his injury.

Oh and while i'm here that commentator on ITV now for the Brasil game..................its FAGNER ............not FAGANER.

To add balance to my previous anti-journo tirade, here is an excellent piece of journalism from Jonathan Liew:

Does Fleck have an English granny?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I'm pretty sure Panama know the line-up anyway. And if not they know the alternatives. I'll call it now, RLC in for the injured Alli and either Sterling retains his place or is replaced by Rashford.

And as for Sports/football journalists, Tim Vickery or David Conn.

Quiet Batpeople?? My first thought too.

 

[Blade58]

Before I opened this thread, I always thought it was Blades related because Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire's names were on it

 

[mattbianco1]

Anybody want to tell him that Coutts is Scottish?

I didn't.

It's a bloody disgrace

This article says "Sterling Dropped in Leaked Team Sheet"... I struggle to see or understand how, that states that he has been dropped. Every player in the squad is listed on it. All it shows is Sterling 'may' drop into Dele Alli's role.

Think we might be at cross purposes here, matt

Responsible for what?

The original post was about the leaking of the likely England line up. You replied to a post that said that Panama would know the line up anyway, but tongue in cheek (I assume) said that the media was to blame anyway.

Whether Panama could guess the line up isn’t the point, the point is that somebody in our own media is so desperate for a story, they quite happily put out information which definitely won’t help England’s cause and could undermine their efforts.

You don’t have to defend any criticism of your fellow journos, you could just accept and agree that it was a shitty thing to do, especially after Southgate’s efforts to build bridges with the media.

 

[SwissBlade]

I hadn't realised that the media had actually leaked the team! What idiots

How come? Anything for a story?

No, not anything for a story
