[Nada Bee]

No David Seaman!!! At last Surprised to see Ian Walker in it.... but the good thing is David James will probabley be number 1 still..... two Div 1 players in the England squad! A first??

David James
Paul Robinson
Ian Walker

Ashley Cole*
Wayne Bridge*
Danny Mills
Phil Neville
Rio Ferdinand
Gareth Southgate
John Terry
Matthew Upson

David Beckam
Paul Scholes
Keiron Dyer
Jermaine Jenas
Owen Hargreaves*
Danny Murphy
Frank Lampard

Michael Owen
Wayne Rooney
Emile Heskey

* = will join after South Africa game

This is the squad for the South Africa and Serbia freindlys and Slovakia qualifier.

Whats the point of including Beckham?! Hes suspended for the slovakia game so why include him in two freindlys?!

Becks is going along for the ride and the meet with Mandela, I think. So, are we to assume that Moyes was telling porkies about Rooney's knee? Did he tell young Wayne to put that icepack on as a show for the cameras, with no medical need? Should we read anything into the fact that Moyes is a sweaty?

 

[homerbees]

I take it you mean one division 1 player in the squad, im shocked to see Ian Walker in the squad.

 

[Nada Bee]

Two west ham players, homer!! DOH!

 

[Jay Bee]

Don't think it's a first, Hoddle used to call up people like Eadie and Stone and such and such when he was manager, and they weren't in the top division.

 

[BenMoses]

Is there no justice? Why no Gareth Barry? The only left back is Phil Neville, outrageous

 

[homerbees]

Ohh right, West Ham are still classed as premier league though. So Ian Walker is the only first division player really.

Same. However, we are short of keepers. IMO James is pony for international level, regardless of that save against Turkey. You're never safe with him between the sticks.

erm, no! west ham are now first division, and leicester premier league - i'd use Nada Bee's classifications

i just spent 5 minutes going thru that squad going "what 2 west ham players??!!" then i remembered who David James plays for

crap squad, Sven out

David is the best keeper in England without doubt regardless of what divison he would play in next season.
Man City is were he is off to-

Paul Smith... There's only one Paul Smith...

 

[poldog]

How can u trust "Calamity" between the post at international level considering the amount of horrific clangers hes dropped at club level - and Walker?? WTF!!!
Surely its about time Robinson got his chance instead of continually picking these clowns!

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

I'd like to have seen Richard Wright given a chance again to be honest!

 

[Gee Bee]

Only another year and Cudicini can be officially English!!

Money!! Its all because of sponsors.

erm no, they are still classed as a premier league side, until the fixtures for next season arrives they are still a premier league side. It will say on the news England have 1 player from outside the premiership, not 2.

 

[Leonardo]

GK and Defence look lightweight IMHO. Hopefully Cudicini will decide his allegiance is with England next year.

Nice to see World Cup star Danny Mills get another look in. Agree with post that said Gareth Barry should be there. Or else Konchesky (sp) from Charlton.

Can't understand Scott Parker being overlooked either.

And what exactly is that forward line? Hardly world beaters ...
