No Warnock?

[HemelRover]

Congrats Robbo!

1 question...Matthew Upson? Why?

[RibbleValleyRover]

Surprised Warnock isn't in it

Surprised Warnock isn't in it

I guess with Cole and Bridge both fit it will be tough for any left back to break in. Think at least one of them was injured when he was called up.

Is a shame though, good performance from him today.

They should get Dunny back in there!

Whos captain guys?? thanks

[DeadlyDirk]

Whos captain guys?? thanks

He said last week he would announce it on Tuesday, the permanent captain that is. He said it was probably out of two but didn't name who the two were.

Rio Ferdinand is my choice to be honest otherwise Gerrard, can't stand John Terry.

[T4E]

Is Crouch injured?

Is Crouch injured?

Dropped according to the article.

How Bridge continues to get picked i have no idea. Personally i don't think he's a bad player but he never plays. How he merits getting picked over and over again i don't know. If he were to move clubs and play regular first team football i wouldn't mind but i thought when Capello arrived he claimed he was going to pick players on performances.

[m4xypp]

good point on bridge noway should he be in there.

didn't 'mr capello' as he likes to be addressed state that he wouldn't hesitate to drop big name players and would choose his squads on form rather than name or reputation?

under those criteria bridge shouldn't be anywhere near the england squad

[Tim Southampton Rover]

To be fair, we've only had 1 game of the season so we can't say that 'Bridge hardly plays' unless we go on last seasons appearances which is silly. He's probably had a good preseason and he's a top defender. I'm sure come the next England set up, Warnock will have a great chance of replacing Bridge if he puts in good performances week in week out.

[Ronin]

Probably just as well Warnock isn't there, no chance of him getting tapped up to go to a supposed bigger club

[rover6]

Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titantic.

Heskey in. Heskey out. Heskey in.

England still crap.

[DanLad]

I don't want Rovers players playing for England any more.

It either ruins them, gives them big heads or turns there heads...

...or all of the above!

[SAS]

Good to see robbo back in the squad, shame about warnock

Going this game, i wonder if bentley will still get booed

[DeadlyDirk]

I hope Bentley doesn't get on for a chance, feels weird saying that now!

Why does this game have to be on Setanta!! Thought it was on BBC1, ah well the pub it is for this game I guess!

[modes98]

I would like Bentley to play, he is still the best Right Winger in England, or in Spurs case their best left winger.

I think Mr Bentley may regret his move already.

Probably wont get booed now he's playing for Tottenham - the corner stone of the England team and fans in the past - i cant justify that but its always appeared so!

I just cant get excited about England games, never mind friendlies. May have to watch House of Saddam instead!

[Ninja Boi]

Is Crouch injured?

No hes just hopeless

[DeadlyDirk]

Not the best winger in America though,

He still can't bend it like Beckham!

Can't wait to hear some 'Beckham' for England chants when Spuds come travelling.

Know what you mean. Has that been a good show?

I'd really laugh if Bentley ended up no closer to being England's RM after his move, especially if he keeps playing on the left.

[Karembeu]

Surprise to see wanock not in and I truely think he deserve to at least being included. Esp with the form he is producing. Haiz...

[CAPT KAYOS]

There was moaning on the Radio last night re the game not being sold out - but its no bloody wonder really

A friendly and tickets are £30+ ... but its ok as you can pay cash at the turnstile ... aye lad £40 if you show us the colour of your money.

[DeadlyDirk]

Beckham starting, no Bentley, shame......

Surprised Joe Cole isn't featuring, looks like we have Gerrard on the left, back to playing players out of position then I guess.
