I think I told you he was QUALITY nearly 2 years ago. You didn't believe me at first.
Yes, yes you and you were right!
I don't believe you.
If this was true you would already have mentioned it to me.

A bit like winning the award for Scotland's Greatest Ever Beach Volleyball Player, don't you think?
Now is the time to give these players a try, though. Good to see Capello isn't going to overlook the Championship either and surely Bothroyd can't do any worse than Rooney has done for the past year in an England shirt.
Personally, I'd have put Marc Albrighton in as well - he's been in great form and definitely looks like one for the future.

Originally the Swankers
I've not heard of two of these players. I was surprised to see Bothroyd is 28. And the fact folk suggest Carroll is a 'typical English centre-forward' says all you need to know about him and world football.
What happened to that new fella from last time. The striker. Did he not come up to scratch?

Anyone else get the impression Capello is struggling?

Christ you're a happy soul, I'm starting to think you're that pot noodles geezer.
My opinion on Bothroyd, great Championship level player yeah but if he couldn't hack it in the Prem and Serie A is he really gonna make it at international level?

so Carroll is out.
France must be shitting themselves with us chosing from Carlton Cole, Gabby Agbonlahor, Peter Crouch and Jay Bothroyd as our strike force.
I would rather play Theo Walcott upfront on his own

Henderson was fantastic for Sunderland today.
can someone tell me why Chris Smalling is in the squad over Phil Jones of Blackburn
Can someone tell me who Chris Smalling is? I've never heard of Phil Jones either. We must really be scraping the barrel.

I was checking Newcastle's site for news on LuaLua, when I found this.

Chris Smalling played for Maidonstone until last season, when Fulham snapped him up. He made his debut for them against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and scored an own goal. In the summer, he moved to Man Utd for £12million. He's probably still in single figures for total league appearances.
Phil Jones is a Blackburn youth team product, and is a classy central defender, but he's been playing in the holding midfield role more this season because he's good on the ball. He's an all action type at the back, and the newspapers are referring to him as the new John Terry.
Doesn't definitely say he is out though so he might still be able to play
Thanks. Can't do any worse than the current lot I guess. Not sure we need another John Terry though.

funny, people often say we should pick unfashionable players or those from Championship if the the obvious first 11 arent interested... then when we do, its critisied.
if this is the next generation, they need to play sometime.
