So if Barry doesn't get fit (and the chances must be fairly high) we'll have Carrick playing the holding role then - pile of utter arse

Motson predicts an England win in every tournament. The guy is senile.

[TheGayTent]

I predict the following 7 will be missing out:

Upson

Dawson

Warnock

Wright-Phillips

Parker

Huddlestone

Bent

Hasn't been the same since the Barca game, but he is a good player. Out of form, but with Barry fitness doubts, we do really need another player in the mid that can hold, and Parker seems unfancied and Hud didn't cover himself in glory either by all accounts. Missed the Japan game as was camping at the weekend around Constantine Bay.

So England are fcuked. With Cole not making the 30, and Parker omitted from the 23, England only have two WHU players. Capello's dropped a bollock there...

[Steve P]

Nope it means Gerrard & Lampard wil try to cope in the centre.

[TheGayTent]

Perhaps Theo can spend his summer at the local park now - practising his crosses...

[Tugger2k]

And just how has SWP got in the squad?

[oafc0000]

They should do this live...

Fabio telling the players... Dramatic music... Close ups for the tears or rants... Maybe a dance off for the final place...

Of course Graham Norton as presenter...

[Langdale Wolf]

From OliverKayTimes on Twitter: "Now there's a rumour (UNCONFIRMED for now) of Ledley King OUT and Michael Dawson IN."

[oafc0000]

Reasonable amount of pace in that squad which I felt was important...

[ampersand]

That is an interesting stat indeed, but what if Rooney gets injured?

We then have a Donkey and a Giraffe upfront.

[Tugger2k]

i am surprised that capello hast tried playing gerrard off rooney (as he plays a lot for liverpool)

it provides the 5 man midfield when necessary but stops the gerrard/lampard axis of evil

rooneys proved this year he can be an effective lone front man

[ralph250]

good player, but not good enough for champions league or international football

[Tugger2k]

Where did you get this squad from?

[eFestivals]

neils about to go apoplectic because there is no-one in england as good as theo!

Have I ever once said that?

However, he's someone that would win us matches we wouldn't otherwise win. There's no other player in the squad that will do that (outside of Heskey, on the basis that we find it hard to score without him).

Will we win the WC if Walcott is left behind? Defo not.

Would be win the WC with him included? Still unlikely, but it gives us a small chance.

Here's betting that before England are on the plane home people will be strongly thinking that Pat has messed up by tyakin Lennon and SWP before him (if that's what is the case - not certain yet).
