Oh, I completely misunderstood, ha. By "cover choice", I thought they meant Baines was cover for Coles on the bench, which wouldn't be odd at all, given both are left-backs.
It was bizarre because seeing as it was Cole's 100th appearance for England why not put him on the cover; instead he's on the cover for the game marking his 101st appearance.Originally Posted by DannyInvincible

Oh "cover choice".... I thought it meant his replacement...
But still, why not buy it (apart from Cole being a contemptible c*nt).
edit: snap, DI...
I suppose Ashley, a class player for England at full back down through the years, should have had his 100th cap recognised with appropriate respect on the program of the prestigious game against the illustrious Brazil, but it might have looked a bit foolish had he picked up an injury and wasn't available for the game.
I was explaining how it was bizarre in AB's eyes for the benefit of DI. I care not for the cover star.

Don't confuse the words of the Daily Mail for the words of AB: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/art...rles-Sale.html
Easy mistake to make.

'FA warning sparks fears over Wembley friendly': http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-29163887.html
The English FA has warned their supporters to stop chanting "No surrender" in an attempt to avoid the prospect of crowd trouble at the friendly against Ireland at Wembley in May.
The chant of "No surrender to the IRA" – which was aired in San Marino last Tuesday – has blighted home and away games in recent times and the FA have moved to highlight their concerns in an attempt to ease tensions ahead of the game against the Ireland on May 29. The two countries have not met since the 1995 game at Lansdowne Road which was abandoned after 27 minutes because of crowd trouble in the away section.
The English FA are expected to liaise with their counterparts ahead of the game, with a large Irish support expected to be present at Wembley.
While the behaviour of Irish fans has been excellent in recent years, this game could attract an element that do not usually travel to away fixtures.
England fans last night accused the FA of potentially increasing the risk of unrest by drawing attention to the song during a testing 48 hours for their governing body. Mark Perryman, an England fans' spokesman, has admitted he is bewildered by the FA's plea to end the chanting and fears it may merely have magnified the problem.
"What I find extraordinary is the statement about 'No surrender' has been linked to the alleged racist chanting," Perryman said. "I can't understand why the FA have suddenly launched into it without offering any explanation.
"They have now drawn attention to it and when you tell someone not to chant something, the chances are that more people will chant it."
Discussions are to be held with Fifa next Tuesday regarding the alleged racist chanting towards Rio Ferdinand, with the England international revealing his own disbelief yesterday.
He tweeted: "You expect+accept banter from fans on the terraces as its part of what makes the game great, but racism is not banter, & from ya own fans. WOW. Always a small minority who ruin it for others."
He later added: "Let's not jump to conclusions and assume though as it might just have been banter. We'll see after the investigation."
My 7 year old wants me to take him. It'll be his first game at any level.
Ireland or England shirt?
Just kidding.
Baptism of fire!
I fancy our chances. Sure we're already one nil up.
This must be the least surprising news ever. That a few of their fascist knuckle-draggers will come out of the woodwork for this one.
My only fear is for a large element of our fans who are unaware of some residual anti-Irish feelings with their support. As we have a small minority capable of being drawn into this.
No Sender!!
Curse you, suspicious emails and texts.

Hopefully McLean gets the party started with some fun tweets.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Hope there's no crowd trouble from the England fans, like the FA Cup semi final yesterday.
There were West Ham, Chelsea and Sousers in with the Millwall section yesterday.
Wigan fans were attacked at random around the ground.
I've serious concerns about our game there, as these yobs had no interest in the game.
Do you have any proof of this? 'Wall quite capable of fighting anyone, including themselves...
And attacking Wigan?
Though we're right to be concerned if their fascists target this game.
I was at the game and saw it first hand.
Ok, fair enough. But not all of what you say rings true.
Be interesting, up to a point, what the official reports say.
