[A cup of beans]

My understanding the Tevez sign is in relation to SAF comments about United ever being underdogs to City and Fergie replied "not in my lifetime"...I thought it was quite clever..

I thought the artwork was poor.

I'm not sure Tevez can even read Spanish - never mind English. I'm being harsh and not excusing him.

He's made countless riches, but Tevez has had little education and been exploited from being a young boy.

I have sympathy for him on that.

no rio in england squad, kyle walker ruled out through injury, what fun this summer is going to be...NOT

[Mattyblue]

This the Rio that's got around 3 caps in 2 years?

Past it, shame Terry's not joining him.

I wish Roy Hodgson well, but- forget the Euros. England have no chance.

What a rebuilding job Hodgson has ahead of him.

Germany or Italy will win it - Mark my words!

I'm supporting Italy.. of course!

[Hughesy]

I agree on the Euro's and for that reason I would have took a very young squad.

France have a decent looking squad now too with the likes of Benzema on form.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Looks like Hodgson is going to take the usual failures.

My money is on Germany.

[BuckyRover]

He is already a successful international manager. I will judge him after the tournament. He can pick whichever team he likes.

[Hughesy]

Downing in.....Johnson just in reserve list

Carrol in....Crouch or Holt not

Phil Jones & Cahill in....Rio not

Ruddy & Green in....Robbo not

Wellbeck in....Sturridge just on reserve list

Chamberlain & Walcott both in.....Carrick now in

[frosty]

Still no Micah Richards even after Walker's injury

[Ferrit]

England squad for Euro 2012:

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Man City), Rob Green (West Ham), John Ruddy (Norwich)

Defenders: Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Man United), John Terry (Chelsea), Joleon Lescott (Man City), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton)

Midfielders: Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Gareth Barry (Man City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Scott Parker (Tottenham), Ashley Young (Man United), James Milner (Man City)

Forwards: Wayne Rooney (Man United), Danny Welbeck (Man United), Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham)

Downing = lol

Johnson instead of Richards = lol

Shame Walker is injured.

We best hope Hart doesn't get injured, as i'm assuming Green will be second in choice and, in my eyes, is absolutely dire.

Wellbeck- All pace , little composure.

Ruddy and Green - Terrible.

As for Adam Johnson - Great ability. Serious social and attitude problems. Allegedly!

[MarkBRFC71]

We should have picked a young squad with the next World Cup in mind and discarded the proven failures like Gerrard, Lampard, Terry etc etc.

Laughable that players like Downing, Gerrard, Henderson, Carroll, Milner and Defoe have all hardly played or in the Liverpool players' case been awful this season.

[sharpysharps]

Would be taking a 5th striker rather than Downing in midfield myself.

Also wouldn;t be taking Defoe, he is a bench warmer for spurs and is nowhere near as prolific as he once was. Also has never cut it for England anyway. Waste of a place in the squad IMO.

You are not alone here Ferrit

[joey_big_nose]

Surely there has to be some beef between Micah and England for him not to be picked? Decent at full back or centreback, a real leader, had a good season. I dont get it.

I personally thinks the squad is decent enough out of what is available. We will get pasted by the Germans, Portuguese or Spanish but probably can hold up against anyone else in the competition. That said there is quite a good chance we won't get out of the group imo. We are roughtly equivalent to the Frencah at the moment and a bit better than the Ukraine and Sweden. However the margins are relatively slim, the Ukraininans are at home so that will boost them, Sweden have a worldy in Ibrahimovic. It's all a bit unpredictable and we could be dumped out.

[Tom]

I have as many premier league goals and assists as downing this season

Where's my place?

[Mattyblue]

Where's Jay Spearing?!

[hesfromburn]

Where's Jay Spearing?!

Is that a joke??

Kenny Dalglish sacked by Liverpool - http://bit.ly/J8eLKM

[sharpysharps]

Kenny gone from liverpool, McCleish gone from Villa. Two managers who didnt do enough to match the expectations of the clubs they where at and where relieved of their duties as a result.

Its not fair.
