please tell me you are being sarcastic? though i never know with you

England squad for the European Qualifier double-header against San Marino and Estonia.

Fraser Forster (Southampton), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City)
Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), John Stones (Everton)
Fabian Delph (Aston Villa), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Jonjo Shelvey (Swansea City), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)
Rickie Lambert (Liverpool), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Welbeck (Arsenal)

I wish they could arrange these international qualifiers and friendlies better. We only seem to get two or three club games before there's a break for internationals. Give me the Premership any day of the week over the trials and tribulations of watching the England team under perform.

This next one really will be tedious. I trust that you are all expecting them to run up the score against San Marino?

Sorry, guys. Unfortunately, I am going to the game. So you can virtually guarantee that it will be 1-0

man utd are under performing atm though aren't they but you still watch them, just as many club teams under perform on a consistent basis but we don't say i can't be bothered to watch them, people slate the england players for not showing passion, desire pride etc, but the fans don't give a shit about england themselves anyway, it sounds very hypocritical to me

Just saying I prefer to watch club football rather than national football. Doesn't mean I don't support England just wishing FIFA could look at the international fixtures to fit in a little better. Didn't know that made me a hypocrite. Learn something every day.

these qualifiers have to be played now before the winter sets in

It really annoys me to bytor that they have to keep breaking the Season up for the sake of the England national team.. especially when they are playing team like San Marino, Estonia, Slovenia ect.. Who even cares about these games?

All I am happy about is Rodgers told Hodgson to piss off when he came for Sturridge..

south american world cup qualifying is even worse though, don't they play like 18 games or something? i don't support any premiership team anyway so it don't bother me, if people can't be bothered to watch england cos they are "shit" i wonder if they will stick with their club team if they have 3 successive relegations like my team had from 2007-2009

A likely story. Club mangers don't have the authority to do anything like that. Sturridge is not fit enough to play for England.
