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

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him

      It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?

      I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
