Who will be captain? Surprised there hasn't been much talk around that
I think Gerrard is the overwhelming favorite to get it, which then can cause it's own share of problems in terms of his place in the starting 11.

Yeah I'm a big Gerrard advocate but his fitness is a concern so it's a funny one.

Picking Terry over Rio is a strange decision if true, assuming it was a one vs the other situation.

Apparently Richards, Walker & Crouch have been left out too.


This what Hodgson said yesterday also -

Hodgson drops squad hint | England Football Team News, Fixtures, Results | Sky Sports
Richards and Walker left out? :-O Woy not bothering with a right back at all then? & no, Glen Johnson or Phil Jones don't count.

Can sort of see Rio's omission, aging, lost pace, still prone to the eff up, but if it means Hodgson takes Captain Racist then I call bullshot.

Some are saying it might not be for footballing reasons that Rio's left out. The logical conclusion is Roy wanted Terry and Ferdinand, and Rio wasn't having it.

That's my honeymoon period with Roy over, if so. Oh and Phil Jones:(

This squad has giving me an headache. Jones, Terry, Defoe and Downing, pile of ****. No Jagielka, Carrick or Crouch. Oh and apparently if Parker is injured, Henderson will go:laugh:

Kyle Walker's injured isn't he?

Downing ahead of Lennon is a bit of a farce. In fact Downing being picked is a joke.
