Mancs and Chavs players get the game off :rolleyes:

Hopefully Theo plays

If Theo doesn't at least come on to carry the bottles, I'll have words with dad, I mean Capello.

:sarcy:

England squad:

Goalkeepers: David James (Portsmouth), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Joe Lewis (Peterborough)

Defenders: Wayne Bridge (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Stephen Warnock (Blackburn), David Wheater (Middlesbrough), Jonathan Woodgate (Tottenham)

Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), David Beckham (LA Galaxy), David Bentley (Blackburn), Stewart Downing (Middlesbrough), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham), Ashley Young (Aston Villa)

Forwards: Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Dean Ashton (West Ham), Peter Crouch (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Portsmouth).

A Peterbrough player? WTF?

Anyway the team will be

Calamity James

Toilet stealer Dopey Racist Thug Chav reject

Beckham Barry Gerrard Young

Theo Crouch

I barely knew which direction to look in when he was here for the game yesterday..!

I don't think I'll be hitting the Nescafe for the benefits of staying up for Sunday's match somehow.. :tumbleweed:

No this is true, I however, sucker that I am, will watch it. And I told you it was on BBC!

Damn SKY and their ambivalent ads!

Beckham's been given the captaincy :doh:

:doh: Indeed.

Theo better get an appearance.

Hmm well that baffles me but it's not a full squad so might only be temporary - even so, how is it moving on?

:fury:

That's just sick.

Decent choice.

im happy he got the captiancy...

he ALWAYS performs, and warrants his place in the team.

he represents what wearing the shirt means, and deserves a chance.

whether he gets the captaincy (very unlikely), he deserves a chance...

Damn right.

Becks will do the job. Proper English lad, he is. St. George's and all that...heart on the sleeve...

T&T 0-4 England : Wazza (2), Stevie G and Lamps

Even though Rooney and Lamps arent in the squad?

Yep. They're the type of guys who won't let a little problem like that get in their way. They won't let their country down... all heart they are. F'cking good English lads...

They are big men.

Rio said on Radio Five Live he dosen`t think Beckham being captain against T & T is a publicity stunt and thinks he`s in the running for the job full-time.

If that`s the case then i despair :doh:

What`s the point of giving him the armband when he decided to step down as the captain 2 years ago and should never have been given the armband in the first place?!

Barry or even David James would have been more appropiate choices. We all know what Beckham is like as a captain for England. So it`d be nice to see either James or Barry as captain. Even them two would make better choices as captain along with the other candidates.

Beckhams the best choice

I'm telling you, Capello is making exactly the same mistakes as the previous incumbents.

Capello isn't making any mistakes at all. He's be a standard bearer for world class managers everywhere.

What are the mistakes you think he's repeating,, maccy

Hopefully Theo doesnt start

Hopefully Theo doesn't play..

Being surrounded by divers like Gerrard can't be good for his development.

I want him to come on in the 2nd half as il miss the first.

Couldnt care less what happens in the first

Yeah that's what I thought too when he was appointed but he's slowly getting sucked in to playing the PR game - whatever his protestations might say. Playing Lampard and Gerrard together, it doesn't work, not as an experiment and not in a competitive match, it never has, I doubt it ever will.

Also, bringing Beckham back, I just can't see the logic in it when he won't be at the World Cup (should England qualify), nor what he has actually done to deserve it recently, when you consider where he is plying his trade now.

I doubt Walcott will start. Agbonlahor on the right and Young on the left with Ashton up front is the rumored starting forward line.


This is my England first 11, that I would start with if I was manager of England.


---------------------------James---------------------------

Richards------Ferdinand--------Woodgate----------Cole

--------------Hargreaves--------Carrick/Barry

----Agbonlahor----------Gerrard---------------Young

---------------------------Rooney


That's Gerrard supporting rooney and 4 forwards over all, but having the ability to go into a 4-5-1 if needed.

although I'm in the 'gerrard can play with lampard' camp, I'm in it with a 'only if you completely nullify the threat, creativity and influence gerrard can bring to the team' caveat. So I do sort of agree with you on that.

I do think Beckham should be in the squad though, his experience and crossing ability is enough for me.

Not the 11 mind you.

I'm not entirely aware of the quality that the MLS has but to me it's like picking a player (a talented one I grant you) from the Championship.

Guess with everything else, we'll see.

Theeeeo doesn't start, Ashton, Woodgate, Downing do.

James; Johnson, Woodgate, Ferdinand, Bridge; Beckham, Gerrard, Barry, Downing; Ashton, Defoe.

C'mon Darkies! :scarf:

making beckham captain is a big mistake

Liking the team, finally Ashton gets a start.

Finally?

He's rubbish.

Whats the time difference?

Between the English players or the UK and T&B?

Go on Becks!

His injuries have restricted his career so badly.

I've yet to be totally convinced by him but I know he does have the raw ability to grow and become a very good Sheringham type of player.

Argh! Bad pitch, crap camera-angles, Ashton's hair... :yikes:
