This is the England 23 that I think will go to WC, in order of probabiliy


K: James, Green, Hart


D: Terry, A.Cole, Johnson, Rio, King, Carragher, Warnock


M: Lampard, Gerrard, Lennon, Carrick, SWP, J.Cole, Milner, Barry


A: Rooney, Defoe, Heskey, Crouch, Walcott

I sincerely hope we don't need Caragher strikes me he's had a poor season in a poor season for Liverpool. Him and Campbell been strongly touted. Have we really no-one younger?


Initial 30 named later today - I'd think Zamora or Bent will be in that too and Parker

Very much agree that Parker should be in! I've always liked Bent, and still think he had a hard time at Spurs (they were saying he was sh!t when he was their top scorer), but don't think he's really up to the international level. That said, I don't rate Defoe much higher.


Zamora has had a great season, and maybe he'd be that something different to bring off the bench....

Carragher has had a poor season but he does have a lot of experience in every defensive position (and also ex-central midfield) and is rarely injured so in an England squad composed of players who regularly breakdown I can see why he is now touted for WC in Africa.

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.


Defenders: Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock.


Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Shaun Wright-Phillips.


Forwards: Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney

The excitement grows.. and naturally I shall be throwing my full support behind 'our boys' as they play 'foot-ball'


I have a few questions.


1. Is the the terrifying referee with the boggly eyes still going?

2. Do we have a new official song, or are we to be treated to another round of Three Lions, sung by tone-deaf sunburnt plasterers, high on Carling?

3. Is it unlucky to watch a match on ITV if BBC is also showing the same game?

Bob....


1) No

2) No and Yes respectively

3) Yes, although less unlucky than watching it on Sky


Just be glad there isn't a time difference for this World Cup that means people getting "into the spirit of things" at bugger-off-o'clock in the morning.

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
