Robson critical of Wise selection

Former England manager Bobby Robson has urged current national coach Kevin Keegan to drop Dennis Wise from his World Cup plans. Speaking ahead of Saturday's friendly against France, Newcastle manager Robson expressed his belief that the Chelsea captain has been exposed at international level.

Robson told the Daily Express: "Wise is a little hubbub of a player for Chelsea, but he played so poorly for England in Euro 2000.

"That is what you find as England coach, there are players who don't cope with the pressure.

"There are players who can handle things in their own sitting room, but can't handle going to meet the Queen at the Palace.

"You have to find out about those players because they will let you down.

"They will crumble on the day. They will shirk the responsibility. They will disappear."

As Gav says, old news rehashed.....the biggest point and rehashing being the following line.......spot the difference......other than the italics and bold......

Wise is a little hubbub of a player for Chelsea, but he played so poorly for England in Euro 2000

Wise is a little hubbub of a player for Chelsea, but he played so poorly for England before Euro 2000

and of course, with Vialli crying in the papers that everybody hates Chelsea, the Daily Express being the biggest supporters of Chelsea and the next Saturday league game being against Chelsea can anyone see a wind up pattern emerging.

That story is THREE MONTHS old, but why let facts get in the way......that papaer are even worse than the News of the Screws.
