Anthony Pilkington is playing better stuff for Norwich in my opinion - former irish u-21 international

Did I hear of him being mooted for the England Team on Football Focus?

Yeah, heard a rumour he was considering switching to play for England as he thought he'd a chance of a call up
Trap should have capped him by now for us

Pilkington scored 19 goals in 92 appearances for League One Huddersfield Town between 2009 and 2011. Hardly a glaring ommission from an international squad.

he's a midfielder so pointing to his goal record you just got from wikipedia doesn't say much, he's been very good so far this season and taken to the Premiership easily, u not watched him much i take it?

Im pretty sure he'd be a better option than Gibson, Keith Tracey Andy Keogh or the likes

To be fair, I'd thought he played up front which is entirely my own mistake. But I ask you, based on your knowledge of his performances in League One, on what grounds should Trappatoni have capped him for the Ireland senior team?


never saw much of him in League one, but should have got a call up for his performances in the EPL so far this year, but i understand Trap is a loyal old bugger, if we qualify i dont expect there to be many changes to his usual squads - ie Kilbane, McShane, Keogh etc


Jaysus there are some bitter people on this thread, who cares what the CEO is earning FFS. Would you rather we were sat at home next summer with cheering against the English our only pleasure

Stokes has probably found his level at Celtic, he didn't exactly set the world on fire at Sunderland.
I'm not sure he is good enough for international level.
I feel the same way about McGeady.

Probably among our top 3 players in the campaign so far

AFS - the genius that is McCarthy is a sub for this great Wigan team at the minute

How many chances has James McCarthy had Main Street?

im not saying Stokes should be in the squad when everyones fit, but with Doyle, Long and Best out he's the best option available, in my opinion, to be called in now

Seanie has no objective rational sense re Robbie Keane.

GDA, Stokes was called up recently but failed to turn up.
Considering the present glut of available options up front for the 4 squad positions, who would you drop to facilitate the recall of a player like Stokes?
Walters, Gibson and Wilson also were called up recently and used lame excuses such as Stokes' that they were tired and pulled out of the squads, yet they got a 2nd chance.
Stokes deserves one the way he's playing
What lame excuse did Walters have? Walters played through injury last spring and was a crocked player at the end of the season.
Gibson has been injured for months.
Stokes deserves ??Who would you drop from the 4 places in the squad to facilitate the call up of Stokes?

Stokes deserves a second chance.
I would call him up if Best cant make it (which i dont think he can) have Keane, Walters, Cox and Stokes as the strikers. Wouldnt have Andy Keogh near the squad

See article below for examples of others who have been given second chances

I don't particularly like what City are doing. At least United, Arsenal & Liverpool have a tradition of developing players to lure players with. City just have the money.

neither do a lot of United fans

1-6 in their own back yard

Blackburn, Chelsea and Man United have all bought titles in their time

City have taken it to a new level

A quick run through of that United team yesterday tells me it cost around £150m to assemble
you would think with the crying some are doing on here that it was built with youngsters and free transfers FFS, all of which were United fans as boys of course!
