Spacker Sven will still play Wright-Phillips on the left though. f*** sake, even his NAME tells you where to play him.

:shootself
 










Pleased to see Downing called up.

To be fair Andy Johnson (ANDY??....) deserves a chance but I shouldn't worry, he'll more then likely go the same way as Chris Sutton, James Beattie and Michael Ricketts, ie just another striker who scored a few in the Prem but couldn't hack it at international level :)

Why bother reading a thread on the England squad? You must care a little bit about the England team though if you live in Hove, are you 100% Irish?

Good luck an' all to Johnson but assume any variation of Owen, Rooney and Defoe will count for the serious stuff until, well, the day Palace win the Premiership.

Good luck to the lad. He has certainly done well enough to deserve a go - every time he pulls on England colours I'll be right behind him. However, for the rest of the time, he is just a Palace **** :)

Just checked, and I'm actually 56.6666 reoccuring per cent Irish, 42.3333 reoccuring per cent English and 1 per cent Dutch.

Therefore, I support Ireland, the Albion and have cast one or two really fickle glances in the direction of SC Heerenveen, on account of their Albion stripes replete with some ULTRA GAY red hearts. Here's us hammering those useless nobodies Ajax:

I want to see an England player score goals. I don't care who he plays for at club level if he can score at international level.

I will hate him when he has the Palace kit on though :ohmy:

Good luck to him I say.

Chance of him actually playing seems pretty remote however, what with Svens policy of if it's broke don't fix it.

A midfield of Downing, Gerrard, Lampard and Wright-Phillips would be awesome, and could be a core of our team for many years to come. But will he drop the ineffective Beckham? Will he f***
