Full list to avoid confusion

England squad: Carson (Aston Villa), James (Portsmouth), Kirkland (Wigan); Bridge (Chelsea), Brown (Manchester United), A Cole (Chelsea), C Davies (Aston Villa), Ferdinand (Manchester United) G Johnson (Portsmouth), King (Tottenham), Lescott (Everton), Richards (Manchester City), Shorey (Reading), Upson (West Ham), Woodgate (Tottenham); Barry (Aston Villa), Bentley (Blackburn), Carrick (Manchester United), J Cole (Chelsea), Downing (Middlesbrough), Gerrard (Liverpool), Hargreaves (Manchester United), Jenas (Tottenham), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Young (Aston Villa); Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Crouch (Liverpool), Heskey (Wigan), Owen (Newcastle), Rooney (Manchester United).

I thought McClaren was sacked ?

Why is he still picking the squad ?

Jesus, Wes Brown!! How the f*** does he do it?

Davies and Johnson are a surprise but the former is one for the future and the other is a decent option as RB back up.

I imagine some will be dropped from that squad to reduce numbers at some point. Especially as we have 9 players who can play at CB.

I find it a bit odd that Upson is back in there as well.

West Ham have one of the best defensive records in the Premiership, he's been a rock. Main surprise to me is no Kitson or Green. And Downing is still in.

Apparently he has been doing ok at West Ham, has a bit of experience and is a left footed CB (as is Lescott but he has looked shite there for England). I know what you mean though, he's not exactly been setting the world alight this year. I imagine his will be the first name off the CB list when Terry is fit.

why is Green not in there...IMHO he is the best keeper around at the moment

Strange that he has picked Downing over Lennon. I know who I would rather have in the squad.

On a side note, it has only just dawned on me as to how camp Lennon looks when running about.

Good to see so many faces in the squad from the supposed "second best team in England", only missing off the top of the Premiership on goal difference.

The real question is why isn't Aaron Lennon in the squad, he has been immense this season far better than SWP and Bentley

My question to you is, what has Lennon ever won , what big games has he has an effect in an, and what can you say he has ever done to be worthy of the this England position. If flattering to deceive was his role than he would be perfect.
