Excellent. Not good enough
I've just started this:
**Official England Squad News** - North Stand Chat
In the hopes of avoiding lots of different threads.
Baines missing out too, according to the Sun.

No surprise there.
No, excellent because he can't pick up an injury out there, and be unfit for the start of the football that matters in August: and I'll make an early request that no Seagull kicks our Darren in The Algarve.

in any other country the 2nd top goal scorer in their top division would WALTZ to the world cup over a player who hasnt played for his team and doesn't score any goals.

Finishing fourth, now that's ambition
You don't think breaking into a monopoly (tetropoly?) to qualify for champions league (as a stepping stone to bring in greater finance, attract better players to be in a better position to challenge for the division title) is a loftier ambition than "not be fighting relegation come may" or "mid table mediocrity"?
Compaired to aiming for 12th or 17th with Charlton yes.
I bet you would be happy with 4th next year if it means winning the play offs

If Charlton or Sundreland had Spur's budget, ground and support I reckon they'd have have the ambition of trying to break into the top four
Sunderland have a bigger ground and a massive budget.

he got something like SEVENTEEN GOALS for spurs last season. i will say thats HACKING it.
Miccoli not in Italian squad, Kuranyi Germany, Soldado Spain, Gameiro France. All the second highest native scorers in their domestic leagues (except Gameiro who is the top scorer) and not in the World Cup. Admittedly the players in their squads instead may have scored more than Heskey but it does rather prove the point that it isnot about goals domestically.
You weren't talking about budgets etc. You made it seem like finishing fourth isn't a very good ambition.
With the way the Premier League has it's top four set for so many seasons, I'd saying finishing fourth is a very good ambition to have.
He was toilet, how many of those were in the league?

id say thats quite good when he wasnt a constant starter and had a manager who believed in him so much that he said his gran was a better player.

You can't talk about ambition with the other factors playing a part. If Man U said finishing in fourth was there goal, they wouldn't be ambitious
