Joey Barton? :))

Roy Hodgson has left Ferdinand out his squad completely. Fine. But why include Terry? Bit of a cop out Roy I'm afraid. Nice to see the Ox is being given a chance to show what he can do. Not a bad squad overall, and th fact that nobody really expects Englnad to do wekk MIGHT actually work in thier favour. Comments EDFers?

I don't feel inspired by the selection but pleased to see the Ox.


I'd guess Terry was chosen for his experience. Should England qualify for the next two rounds then they should face Spain but have no chance in beating them. I think it would have been better to blood more youngsters in preparation for the world cup.

Not as many new faces as I thought there would be, but pleased to see AOC in there, and pleased he's made Gerrard captain (and hope it will make him up his game in an England shirt).


Not so pleased to see Downing in there, and amazed Carroll has gotten in to the squad off the back of a couple of good performances at the arse end of the season!

I dunno, given Roy's proclivities I think he could fit neatly into the side better than he has done at Liverpool.

He's yet young and unproven but I think with interntaional experience he could be really good and he's the sort of striker that actually can give pause for thought to a defence.

Carroll obviously in for set pieces in place of Crouch - don't know if he'll feature much after Rooney returns unless he plays really well..


Surprised Joe Cole didn't get a call from the man who signed him for Liverpool, but maybe that's why - even though he's not had a bad season in France... (Harry would have picked him)... surely a better stand-by than Henderson?

I dunno how Downing gets into ANY squad. Hopeless.

A shame to see so many of the same old faces in the squad but not really many better players to put in. The problem is Wilshere, Cleverley and maybe Rodwell were all injured so you have to stick with Gerrard, Barry, Lampard, hope Gerrard's form improves.


Could have had Sturridge in the squad rather than Downing and maybe Carrick rather than Barry. Crouch has never done it against the top teams, so Carroll is the best alternative.


Other than Rio v Terry I don't think there is much else to debate. Richards looks great but a few managers, including Mancini, seem to have their reservations.


Shame Harry didn't get the job but perhaps long term Hodgson is the better bet for English football.

Dagleish gone - the red shite needs to snap up free agent Mikey Owen for your next old boy manager - maybe hes not racist enough though, but Im sure he will pick it up quickly, hes only 32


Actually, Paulo De Canio, that loveable old fascist rogue may be available soon, given his recent issues at Swindon - get in there quick before Chelsee snap him up - its rare that such a good fit comes along

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections.
