    Noble has always played like this, but it's more obvious when the calibre of player around him is higher.

    Alli, Mason and (Tom) Carroll all to start and be shown up by a huge motm performance by Noble in a hammers win.
    Noble gets call up to England squad.
    After impressing in training, to the surprise of many he starts the first Euro match.
    He proceeds to win player of the tournament and score the winning penalty in a shootout against the Germans as England win the Euros!

    Carlsberg don't design careers, but if they did...

    He'll do that Nobes grin ;biggrin

    First bit has kind of happened? Close enough.

    Paul Once:
    "I cannot understand for the life of me why Noble is not in the England squad. He has been doing it for years and people talk about Drinkwater at Leicester, but West Ham are doing well too. I think it is a joke."

    From the Torygraph match report:

    Maybe it is too harsh to say Spurs fluffed it. Pochettino conceded they were poor in the first half but they were also made to be poor by the commitment, drive, energy and aggression of West Ham who were brilliantly led by their captain Mark Noble, who delivered a superbly dominant midfield performance. Still just 28, the fact that Noble has been overlooked by England, in a key area crying out for someone like him, does remain astonishing

    Anyone notice him and (another player, can't remember who) grabbing hold of Kouyate when he was about to go after Lamela for kneeing him in the face?
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Mrs G

    We saw that and a little bit of me wanted Kouyate to give Lamela what he so deserved.

    Nasty little boy.

    I think it was Lanzini who also grabbed him.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;ok
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I would like to spend 5 minutes alone in a room with Lamela ;angry

    Nobes is a must for England right now - he is as close to his form of the Tevez season as he has ever been.

    For me the reason is that he has genuine quality all around him - he brings the best out of them and vice versa

    Hitherto, he has not had this and he has found it difficult to impose himself when playing with the likes of Matt Jarvis, etc. He is different from say Scott Parker IMO, who could be outstanding and stand out a mile even when playing alongside mediocrity

    Hodgson will not pick the players who will make the best team.

    He will pick the usual suspects from the usual clubs.

    Or Vardy and play him out of position.

    I'm just waiting for one of those long range screamers to go in. Pretty much every time a keeper has just about got a hand to it.
    It's going to happen and it will be a thing of beauty!

    I'll take a 1 yard tap in Moojor, they all count the same ;biggrin

    Some of his shots recently have been outrageously good. I'm gutted more haven't gone in!

    Noble should find a Welsh Granny or something so he can play for them, with Ginge, those 2 together show more fight than most of the England team
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    He has an Irish granny.


    Just sayin' ;whistle

    ;pray ;scarvire

    Sadly, he's said he doesn't feel he could play for Ireland...

  • MoojorMoojor
    He should change his mind. The internation stage needs Noble!

    Name me 3 English CMs in better form than Noble and name me 3 English wingers playing better than Antonio please
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    No.

    Can't.
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    Albrighton?
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    That's one but yes Albrighton would be one

    Walcott.....
    Sterling.....
    Chamberlain.....
    Lallana......

    All of the above haven't had good seasons at all but all of them will probably go to the Euros
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    Agree Champo, shame isn't it? It's why myself and a lot of others (I imagine you?) don't really care for the England team.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    esk, my boverd gets less and less as the years role on.

    Consecutive England managers make it harded each tournamount to feel invested in the team.

    TBH not since the FA [wrongly imho] go shot of Terry Venables have I felt like they represent me.
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Every time i see players like Gibbs, Townsend, Jones constantly getting called up despite playing time/form I just care less and less. Feel for Noble and Cresswell (who is miles better than Gibbs)
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Why would we want any of our players in the Euro squad. As soon as we make our usual inglorious exit it will be ours that get all the blame from the media.
