Englishmen (not good enough to play for England) summarising the Wales game…and Earnie (and Ian Wright) summarising the England game….Worlds gone mad.
NB…Earnie was good enough to play for Zambia…but CHOSE to play for Wales…Williams and HRK never had a choice ;)………England didn’t want them.
Probably the most successful Captain of Wales with the scorer of one of the most iconic Welsh goals of all time...
How is that a problem?
Ian Wright and Earnie...bit odd if you ask me.
“Box ticking” is definitely a thing that is annoying a lot of people.
Ashley Williams and Hal Robson Kanu deserve to be in those seats 100%
No box ticking needed...there on merit!!!
It’s a problem for me (obviously not you) that they only played for Wales because they were not good enough for England.Quote:

Earnie must have a contract with ITV as he worked for them in the Euros as well
Nice to see Ashley Williams continues to boil your piss even after retiring. Also HRK played for both England & Wales youth and made a huge contribution to football in this country
He don’t “boil my piss” at all…just nice to see more and more people realising the guys a complete c**t.Quote:

As successful a captain and a good servant as he was, the OP does have a point, if people disagree they disagree.
African Bluebird makes a good point on this subject as well which makes a lot of sense, but even still OP having an opinion doesn't mean he is running around the house with a hammer smashing things up every time he sees Ashley Williams.
there, fixed your post you miserable sod.Quote:

Because he's given very little evidence to back up his "Ashley Williams is a C@@t" comments. Seems to have a hatred based on what I can assume is some Swansea/England dislike.Quote:

Evidence makes your opinion valid but no people are free to form opinions based on hearsay and media projection. I hate James Corden with a passion, I'm sure if I had a pint with him he'd be ok.......probably not the smug twat 🤣🤣Quote:

Yeah I dislike Corden as well probably a victim of his own success, watched that friends reunion with my daughter and even she said he's everywhere these days..
Did you celebrate when he scored against Belgium?
Given your view of him, respect if you didn't although hard to believe as a Welsh fan you weren't jumping around like the rest of us.
This sums up up the world as it is now beautifullyQuote:

It sums him up as well pretty well in fairnessQuote:

Never read the Dirk Gentley books but watched the TV series years ago. Adams was an amazing writer. Unique!Quote:

Isn't is the case that Brian Flynn approached Ashley in the first place as to whether he was eligible to play for Wales? If so, was Ashley supposed to say that he was honoured that he should have been approached but that it would be an unacceptable selfish deed if he took up the invitation to join the squaf? By the way, are you sure that you 'could care less', old fruit? :-)Quote:

People that aren't born in the country they play for has been happening for years.
Why does he have to be "bitter" because his opinion isn't the same as loads of others on here?Quote:

Back in the day, it was quite easy to ‘find’ a grandparents birth certificate, and back then Williams thought he had no chance of playing for England. There was a time when he was only one of a few English centre backs in the EPL, who knows, he may have got a call up, I just hope he thinks the same, surely 1 cap for you own country is far more satisfying than playing for another, lesser ranked nation.Quote:
