| | Just about to post that. I think it's great. Wonder how much had to do with that woman who tried to get every Premiership footballer to give up a day's wage and give the proceeds to nurses? Everton were right twats about that, as werew Chelsea.

| | well done to them, though if i were playing fer my country i wouldn't expect to be paid fer it, just the pride of putting on an England shirt is enough to motivate me. |

| To be honest with you, I assumed players played for their country for free anyway. I had no idea they got paid for it. Fooking ridiculous. They ought to be proud. Unlike Bentley who's clearly a dickwad for pulling out of the U21's. I reckon that's his international career scuppered. Who remembers Chris Sutton? His refusal to play for England B ended his international career. (And Bentley took a place in the squad that Michael Johnson' would have died for. If I was MJ I'd be fucking furious.)

| | Players should have a choice to play for their country. I don't agree with Pearce saying you out your country before yourself. I personally would be more proud to pull on a City shirt in any game than an England shirt at a world cup or any of that. Not there's any chance of any of it happening anyway!
From Manchester with love |

The problem comes when he accepts the position on the squad and then pulls out. leaving Michael Johnson and others in the cold. That sucks. Bentley is a dick.
