Milner retires - from England duty

Thanks Sam.
What on earth are we going to do without him?
England and Liverpool midfielder James Milner has retired from international football.
The former Manchester City man, 30, won 61 caps for England after making his senior debut in 2009.
He was a squad member at two World Cups and two European Championships but played just three minutes at Euro 2016.
"The decision we've reached is about common sense. I wish Sam [Allardyce], the players, staff and supporters success in the future," Milner said.
Milner also holds the record for the most capped England Under-21 player, picking up 46 caps after making his first appearance in 2004.
He scored his first, and only, international goal in England's 5-0 victory over Moldova at the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifiers

This is odd as he is exactly the type of player BFS loves.

Can you actually imagine Nolan playing on the wing? He'd be blowing out of his arse after five minutes.

Milner heard that Allardyce is planning to try Nolan on the right wing.
Face saving exercise.

When I look back and recall some really great players who never got a chance to wear an England Shirt how the hell did this bloke get 61 caps?

Modern football eh.
If a pro in the 80s declared that he's retiring from playing for his country.. He would have been lynched.

Should never have been anywhere near an England squad unless he was driving the coach.

So is Sam giving a few the nod and telling them their time is up?
Rooney next then
Not Milner's fault as he doesn't pick himself but Antonio should have had his place at the Euro's.

Good call by Sam and very professional way of dropping a player without either losing face.

Clearly BFS has turned a new leaf and is going to pick a young squad... Actually if that's true he might even play attacking football too...
I'll have to stop day dreaming....

the highlights video of his 61 appearance would be a very short one I would imagine.

Not HIS fault he kept getting picked, tbh.
According to those wanky UEFA stats of the summer, he's a more effective player than Toni Kroos. So I guess, on this occasion, BFS ignoring his statometer.

Didn't he say something last week about if he was just being picked in squads because he was a reliable backup then it would be better to put in younger players as they'd get more out of it.
Fair point, I'd say, whatever you think of him as a player.

He said, earlier, that he might continue, as long as he got assurances he would play regularly.
So, yes.....thanks Sam.
Good start for the fat man.
