Apparently Hodgson is using a 4-4-2 tonight with Lampard and Gerrard in the middle. I expect a humiliating defeat.

Probably. The media don't really care about the national team for the most part, they just want to fill column inches.

Without the Home Nations Agreement, the other home nations could have poached players like Sterling, Zaha, Chalobah etc.

Huh? All he's done is answer a question he was asked by a journalist. The smoking thing is a non-issue.

It's before the age of 18.

Wenger plays him too far forward. Last season he was the player who made the pass before the assist more than anyone else in the league. He's best when he starts deep and drives forward taking men out of the game and committing them, he definitely isn't a #10 in my view.

England is the only team I support, and I certainly don't want him playing for us, no matter how good he is. He's Belgian, it would be different if he'd been here since he was a kid, but trying to pinch him just because we can under some inane FIFA technicality would be pathetic. He's not...

I think he perhaps just doesn't trust him defensively yet, because in the final third he's justified inclusion already.

It's a weird situation. The Albanian's seem to think that he doesn't want to play for them, and the Belgians seem to think the same. Apparently he's also eligible for Serbia and Turkey too.

No they never. Ferguson said that contact talks were abandoned because Morrison's demands (playing time) were unrealistic. United mishandled the situation pretty badly, they should have just loaned him out like everyone said they should, and like West Ham did straight away.

Yeah, and look how that turned out.

You can when he's still using Young. Also, Januzaj getting games is probably as much about his contract situation as anything else, it runs out soon and he'll be trying to show him he has a future in the first team like Ferguson tried to with Pogba. Not that he doesn't deserve game time, but...

They do have AOC, Walcott, Podolski and Cazorla to return though.

His contract runs out next summer I believe and talks over an extension have stalled since Ferguson left. He could well be out the door for peanuts like Pogba and Morrison if United are not careful.

And the main three challengers changing their managers. Arsenal have had good runs before, so I think the hype is a bit premature. Team haven't worked out how to play against this new system of theirs yet, but they will do.

He wouldn't (and couldn't), like I just said...

According to Gary Lineker he was speaking to Hodgson and there's a possibility that Januzaj could play for England in 2015. That doesn't sound right to me, I'm pretty sure the Home Nations Agreement wouldn't allow for it, and I seriously doubt he would want to either.

Nick Powell scored a nice goal in the Europa League on loan at Wigan

U21 Squad Jonathan Bond (Watford) Jack Butland (Barnsley, on loan from Stoke City) George Long (Sheffield United) Eric Dier (Sporting Lisbon) Carl Jenkinson (Arsenal) Michael Keane (Manchester United) Jack Robinson (Blackpool, on loan from Liverpool) Luke Shaw (Southampton) John Stones...

I might be being naive, but he doesn't strike me as someone who will try to force his way out any time soon. He's a massive Everton fan with the date of his début tattooed on his arm, I think as long as the team are playing well and he's getting games then he'll probably stay for three or four...
