    I disagree, after pulling out of the squad last season due to fatigue, Stokes is nowhere near making this team. Robbie Keane, Kevin Doyle, Shane Long, Simon *, Leon Best, Jon Walters and maybe even Andy Keogh are all ahead of Stokes IMO.

    Keogh is only ahead of Stokes because he always shows up and nothing else.

    The best players should get picked. Stokes should at least be on the bench.

    slated keane like * for months there, but now hes getting regular football, hes on form and hes banged in a few for national team..... i think it all rests on him and mcgeady linking up well and keane playing to the best of his ability..... i find it dissapointing now that doyle is rated 3rd in the pecking order.... quality footballer but suppose your only as good as your last game and with long banging them in its quite a headache for the manager

    I think we can top the group this time. All we need is a wee bit of luck at the right times.

    Neither am I really. If you had to push me, I'd say we'll win 2-1. Not expecting a grandiose performance or anything, though.

    Why're they making Keane and Hamsik make a speech about respect for? Silly UEFA.

    We're a little silly in the final third. Doyle and Keane are good team players, but they don't look like a partnership.

    Slovakia's only hope is on the counter-attack. They're not interested in playing otherwise.

    * hate watching these anti-football teams.

    Trap loves playing Whelan and Andrews together as much as possible.
