Crouch made it. Would have liked Andy Carroll to be given a chance. Maybe if he keeps playing well and getting goals for Newcastle.

Only because I'm flying to Glasgow tomorrow morning for a week and I needed to do something to lift the gloom :-)

Well, apart from golf, they have feck all else to be interested in :-)

 

But the big decision looms. Do I really want to try a Deep Fried Mars Bar

[Crab Lungs]

Oh great. Scott Carson and Matthew Upson back. No, seriously, they deserve to be - after all, they're not proven failures at all.

 

And good on him for omitting Joe Cole; he's useless.

 

:S

[Hopkins]

No Huddlestone is the biggest joke. SWP over Lennon too. Amazing.

 

Not fussed by Carson, hardly a failure on one game as he's never going to play so what's the harm. Upson will be booted out once Terry is fit so not bothered by him unless he plays in which case help us all.

 

Thank god there is no Carroll though. He's poor anyway, but until he's done it over a few games he shouldn't be anywhere near the squad. Nor should Carlton Cole either though. Zamora would obviously be in if fit though.

 

England so boring and I wouldn't at all be suprised if they struggle against the Swiss.

[SuperMikey]

Why Lescott is anywhere near the squad is anyone's guess - he's absolutely sh!te. I'd play;

G.JOHNSON---------JAGIELKA---------CAHILL---------A.COLE

Don't forget Heskey has retired from international football, so Capello needs a new donkey in the squad.

[Andy_Porter]

No Huddlestone? that's ridiculous. We should be building our team around midfielders who can actually pass the ball.

 

Johnson, Huddlestone, Barry, Wilshere and Milner - Make it happen Fabio.

Rodwell in there somewhere?

[Appy]

Huddlestone is the most lazy and overrated player around at the moment.

[Andy_Porter]

That is exactly the sort of attitude England needs to drop if we're ever going to do anything at International football.

 

He's been fantastic so far this year for Spurs,

Oh sorry do you watch nearly every spurs game? According to my spurs supporting mate who sees them at the lane every home match, he is so lazy and overrated, i tend to agree from the occasions i've seen him.

He is not meant to be a box to box player, he is a sort of deep playmaker who can do a bit of defending. Lazy ? No just positionally sound. He lets the flair players play.

 

Would your mate think Mascherano and Makelele were lazy ?

That looks better, Barry is over-rated and would probably look better on the left before Johnson turned up. I also think Milner had his best ever season last year but Walcott is on fire right now and we need pace in the england team.

 

IMO we need to look at the Italian and German models which use the Euro's as a training ground for the new youth in order to become ready for the world cup. Will Terry/Lampard/Beckham/Scholes ever make the next world cup ? If even the Euro's FFS.

 

Until the FA move into the future and embrace change we will never amount to anything.

My mate doesn't watch those 2 most weeks. Knowing him though, probably.
