The Next England Squad

At least it will shut up those Bolton fans.

Bolton have fans

I hear Wilshere "excelled" yesterday - thought he was decent but no more than that and he probably shouldn't be in teh seniors.

He shouldn't be in both the under-21's & senior squad. It would have been better if Capello and Pearce came to some sort of arrangement, he's only 18 and played in all our games so far this season. They haven't learned the lesson after Walcott in the summer of 2009 where he got injured shortly after representing the seniors and the Under-21's in their European Championships.

Fucking hell England has a poor squad by the looks of it, but impressive from Capello that he started the campaign so good. On the other hand England used to look decent on paper and that didnt work either.

Great to see Davies at least get a chance to play for England wanted this a few years ago.

Downing replaces injured Lennon in England squad

Can anyone explain to me why they cancelled the proper football for more than a week before the England game? Why aren't England playing this weekend, or alternatively why is there no EPL this weekend?

Weeks designated for international fixtures always = no top flight football.

England ain't playing because the # of teams in the group means all can't play every slot. Not sure why they didn't fit in a friendly though.

Stewie

Can't say he's been stellar for us, but there's been some signs of form. At least he's popping up with the odd goal these days.

John Terry out of Montenegro qualifier with back injury

Woo. Although it means we'll be playing the utterly non-match-fit partnership of Ferdinand-Lescott instead.

Would hope for him to give Cahill a shot in this match, but general cowardice will see him pick the other two.

Bent's injured now.

Kevin Davies one step closer...

Rooney and Davies to start Crouch to come on later.

Given how poor Rooney has been, I might be happier with Crouch and Davies. With Jinky and Young on the wings we might even get some decent crosses.

I am going to this tomorrow incidentally.

You must really want to watch lots of free-kicks by Montenegro defenders

He starts with Jinky & Young

Hart
G.Johnson-Ferdinand-Lescott-A.Cole
A.Young-Gerrard-Barry-A.Johnson
Crouch-Rooney

Shame its as part of a 4 rather than a 5 but still the 2 best English wingers.

Montenegro are seriously underrated and most people seem to be expecting even a makeshift England to crush them.

You say makeshift, but on paper it's one of the best England teams i can remember seeing for a while.

My worry would be the defence - Lescott and Ferdinand barely played this season and Johnson barely a footballer. 3/4 dodgy is not a good look..

No Vucinic or Jovetic - we should cream them !

Itv is a laugh a minute.

Latvia [1 - 1] Georgia

74' [0 - 1] D. Siradze

90' [1 - 1] A. Cauna



Its all about ex-Watford wingers tonight - an omen for England ?

remember the days when Wayne Rooney was awesome?

He's finished, sell him to Newcastle.

OOF..decent free kick from Jinky.

Kevin Davies is our only hope

Young will probably get subbed off again here, he's been rather average again.

Rooney and Gerrard should swap places
