Gerrard retires from Intl Football!!!

Im the England manager and im only at November 2009 and Gerrard has come out ans declared his Intl retirement!!!

I cant believe, one of me best players and he goes and retires.....im gonna try and persuade him not too but I am in complete shock

Long term injury?

What happened?

Did Terry sleep with his Mrs too?

It happened with me once aswell i made him Captain regretted it and removed him. He then retired from Int Football

Well i was managing England and it didn`t happen to me, you should report this in the bugs forum mate.

Saves him pulling out when there is an international friendly

On-Topic: Sounds like a long term injury.

brokern metartasal so was out for only 7 weeks AND now I got Rooney out for 11 months with a double leg fracture when its March!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

On FM09 I convinced Michael Owen to come out of International retirement (in about 2012). I then didn't choose him for my next squad, so he retired out of "embarrassment"

Stevie G said no to me

In FM10, when I was managing England, I didn't pick him for a few games and he decided to retire. I asked him to reconsider and he came back to break the England appearance record (at Wc 2010 if I remember correctly), which was later broken by Rooney.

with Rooney and Gerrard out im really struggling.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i just had James Vaughn retire despite thefact he has been i my last 3 squads and has stareted 2 games, he is only 29, and the World cup is in 6 months time... :@

is capello in his favoured personnel? you think it might be that he misses him?

Ive managed England loads of times and never had him do that so I dont know, just is so annoying that I lose me 2 best players before the WC

in the two years of playing fm ive still not done a national team, but if that happened to me id need to be in a very good mood not to quit and start again

I love managing a country, everyone wants to win the WC and starting off as manager rather than waiting is the easier option and a hell of a lot quicker lol

ive always thought it would get a wee bit boring, what with only having a game every few months. but your right it would be a buzz to take scotland to the world cup. and i think it could be done in fm. but not in real life clearly

I just go on Holiday and with the game speed you dont tend to wait too long and also I declare my interest in jobs so normally by Feb I am managing a club team as well

Well so far I am through to the 2nd round in the WC and Scotland have just beaten Italy to make it through to the QF's lol

come on the bonny scotland! lol

they got nocked out by Spain in the QF's and im playing Spain in the final right now!!!

Did Terry sleep with his Mrs too?

Was about to say this the second i saw the thread

Just won the WC so who needs Rooney and Gerrard after all

Lampard thrived in the Trequartista role and Carlton Cole who didnt play in the group stages of the finals started playing awesome as a target man up front with Crouch

Well i was managing England and it didn`t happen to me, you should report this in the bugs forum mate.

Why is it a bug?

Why is it a bug?

Dont think this is a bug as such but very unrealistic!

I'm not sure it's that unrealistic. I could easily envisage a scenario where Gerrard retires from international football to dedicate himself to winning the league with Liverpool.

did u remove him from Vice Captain?

Scholes, Carragher and Shearer...anyone !!

Not at all unrealistic IMHO.

Never mind retire from intl footie in the game

He ought to retire from football irl full stop. Absolutely pathetic this season.

Paul Scholes retired at 29.

Hardly 'very unrealistic'. These things happen irl for a variety of reasons. I have no problem with this in the game

I have the opposite, Stuart Pearce has been in charge since 2012 and Stevie G is still his captain at the age of 36 (35? I don't have my game loaded to check, it is Jan 2016).

He still looks class to be fair and is keeping out my two Newcastle midfield super stars, although he doesn't play a full match for England these days.

138 caps I think, could be wrong as that might be Ashley Cole, but around that amount.

I am U21 manager and like Brown was to Blair I am plotting the down fall of Pearce so I can take over, cue evil laugh and fade to black...

I hope you've got a good solicitor after making remarks like that!!!! You do know that JT is also a member of this forum don't you?

JT has signed up to star in a new TV show. It's called Other Footballers' Wives.

Ashley Cole was caught doing 104mph in a 50mph zone. When questioned by police as to why he was speeding, he said: "l've just heard JT is parked outside my house!"

England manager Fabio Capello phoned Wayne Bridge and said: "JT's lost the captain's armband. Can you do me a favour and have a good look under your bed for it?"

It's a good thing JT doesn't bring all his girlfriends to watch him play every match. Abramovich would have to increase the capacity of Stamford Bridge by 20,000.

Somebody bought me a box of Terry's All Gold. I was shocked to find new chocs called French Fancy and Cheat Cluster.

What have Wayne's ex-missus and the 2008 Champions League final goalpost got in common? They've both been banged by JT.

The England team have voted for Terry to keep his place in the World Cup squad. With the ban on WAGs travelling to South Africa, no one wants him left behind.

Wayne sent his missus a replica of his willy made from Cadbury's chocolate. But she refused it, saying she prefers Terry's!

Bridge refuses to play for England while John Terry's captain...let's hope he starts cheating with Heskey's missus too.

Chant heard at Burnley v Wigan: "Same old Terry, always cheating."

Never mind retire from intl footie in the game

He ought to retire from football irl full stop. Absolutely pathetic this season.

With that statement there, are you sure you're not mixing up "Steven Gerrard" with "The entire Liverpool squad except for Gerrard and Torres"? Just, y'know, making sure They've actually done a remarkable job to be in the top half of the table with a two-man team

I take it you haven't seen Liverpool play this season? Gerrard has been sulking since coming back from injury, while Torres halves his time between occasional brilliance and constant arguing with the ref.

Anyone can see that the loss of Xabi Alonso has affected Liverpool more than expected, while Reina is probably the best keeper in the league. So I suppose you could have called them a 2 man team last year.

Scotland won the world cup in my game and were rated the No. 1 team in the world for a while

I had a game in FM09 where Scotland won the world cup 5 times England had a habit of finishing third in that game, too. But they could do that more consistently than Scotland winning, so they were first and Scotland were second in the world.

Did you forget to play Phil Collins like I told you to?
