RoyalBlue He and the FA really are prize idiots. Our national team desperately needs to be rebuilt and feature young up and coming players so Hodgson decides to look to give a 31 year old his first opportunity in the squad! :twisted:


So who would you have picked instead RoyalBlue?

I was saying that the spanish national team play older players rather than younger ones before their time.. Like Isco or De Gea or Thiago to a lesser extent

Yeah well done.

It's easy to have a pop at selections like this but when there's little or no alternative there isn't a lot Hodgson or the FA can do.

It's not long ago many were callin for the likes of Le Fonde, Holt or Lambert to be included.

3 goals from 3 england strikers.. Cant complain about that! Maybe if there was decent competition for Hart he would stop being such a twot in internationals.

Said this on GF:
Cracking movement from Lambert to lose his marker. Timed to perfection, sold him the wrong way and then buried it. And bar a bobble he'd have had a brace. Should have done much better with his third effort.

He's smart, he's big and he knows where the goal is. I'd be quite happy with him as a back up striker to use as a super sub. He'll be just as capable of being a flat track bully as Rooney, Defoe, Welbeck, Carroll or Sturridge and he might, just *might* have the nous to score from a set piece against a good team. He's not the future, but he's a decent stop gap whilst the likes of Welbeck and Sturridge prove themselves properly and we're waiting for someone else to come through.

Wouldn't worry about Lambert being at Brazil 2014. He'll be watching it at home like the rest of the England squad.

McCarthy would've saved the first goal last night!
























































and then promptly kicked the ball straight back to the Scotland forwards.

McCarthy hasn't been picked in the new England squad despite the injury to Ben Foster. Celtic's Fraser Foster has been been called up instead. I'll be honest, I've never even heard of Fraser Foster.

That's because his name is Fraser Forster. And he has been in the England squad several times before.

Ask Barcelona, they definitely heard of him last season.

Definitely seems to be a case of not being interested if you're not in the top division. :lol: that someone in the SPL gets in ahead of players in the Championship

Seems more like picking players on proven long term form and ability at a higher level than players who have yet to excel at a lower level this season.

As for SPL over Championship, I wonder if the dozen games in the Champions League has some factor in that decision?
