WaltersGotStyle 178 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Talksport raised the subject of a Great Britain/United Kingdom team this morning in the discussion as to whether they should call up Spanish "reject" Arteta.With England failing to make an impact at the World cup it got me thinking... if we were to have a GB/UK team what players (NI, Wales, England or Scotland) would make the starting line up?Would wee Davis get a look in? Would Gordon? Bellamy? Fletcher? Miller? What would be your line up?mines would beMcGregorHutton Terry Ferdinand ColeDavis Fletcher LampardGerrardRooney Bellamy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowRangersChampions95 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'd love a Great Britain team and British league is something I really hope happens, though it probably never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 87,117 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Strange that.....As you used to have the Union Jack as your sig...That is the Union's flag and Rangers play in Scotland which is part of the Union. Doesn't mean I have to like the English. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 87,117 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Explain to me why I have to like the English?What have they ever done for us, this country went through years of troubles to stay part of the Union and those cunts would give us back to Ireland at the first oppertunity. The only reason they aren't is because they won't be held responsible for the aftermath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 87,117 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 So I ask again why the union jack?Surely if you hate the English that much you would rather your nation were independent from it?That sig wasn't made by me to begin with, I just had my name put to it because I liked it.When I asked for my name to be put to it I was thinking more of Rangers and Hamburg. I appreciate Rangers have a connection to more or less everything Unionist and lets be honest the Union flag is probably one of our main ones at this club. I have probably went to far by saying I hate everything English, because thats not true, I hate their international team and fans, and I hate the arrogant snobbish majority in that country.

Polo 1,453 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 McGregorHutton (on top form!)--- Terry --- Ferdinand --- A. ColeLennon --- Lampard --- Gerrard ---- A.

Gerrard and Lampard wouldn't work well but, in a theoretical sense at least, I think they're the best two CMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivestars 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Unless you went out of your way to include players from Scotland, Wales and NI then the only non englishman in the team on merit would be Bellamy or maybe Gareth Bale at left midfield.

fivestars 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Both Shagger and Gordon are better than any English GK, and Glen Johnson is a fucking horrible defender.Joe Hart has been playing out his skin at a far higher level than McGregor. That means he gets picked untill such times as McGregor goes to a proper league and shows what he can do at the top level. Gordon is injured, and is no doubt a talented keeper, but i'd stil go with Hart. I wouldnt pick Johnson myself, and i assume you are arguing for Hutton here, but Glen Johnson being a horrible defender doesnt mean that Hutton is the best man for the job. He isnt getting a game for Spurs right now, l;et alone a hypothetical GB side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdunsmb 43 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Pretty close between McGregor and Hart.Glen Johnson isn't great but is better than Hutton, I think a Rangers forum is the only place you would see him picked as the best RB in Britain.HartG.

stuartmccallsfall 4 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Youd need to play it fair for this to work. 5 players from each of England, Scotland, NI and Wales, thats the subs too and I canny be fucked doing that................................
