The Underrated
These men have ample reason to grumble…Â

Well, nice one England, you’ve done it again. You’ve wasted another yet another glorious player, and Steven Gerrard is now doomed to spend his autumn years mumbling in pubs about what might have been, alongside Le Tissier, McManaman, Fowler, and nobody’s favourite evangelist, Glenn Hoddle.
Above is The Spoiler’s dream XI of players either mismanaged or completely overlooked by England managers past and present. In goal, Scott Carson is unlikely to recover from the most bizarre and dreadful competitive international debut against Croatia (McClaren’s final insult), Arsenal’s Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn were criminally blanked by the likes of Bobby Robson and Terry Venables.

Artist's Impression
Most football fans and doggers could create a better likeness than this

Yesterday’s edition of The Game carried an interview with Stan Collymore, and nothing was more intriguing than the illustration that came with the article - it looks absolutely nothing like the outdoor sex enthusiast we all know and love. It looks more like Les Ferdinand doing a cameo appearance on King of the Hill.
