England Squad: Gabby & Ash in

[UK Redsox]

Is Andy Caroll really the sort of person we want our children pinning poster on their wall of?

What makes him any different to the likes of Terry, Rooney or even Gerrard for that matter

[PeterWithe]

I'm well past the point of wanting Villa players in the England squad, they only get a taste for the £100k a week wages and all the other bollocks.

[Warren Aspinall]

Tery messed around behind her back but has never hit her as far as I'm aware??

Splitting hairs I think

[eastie]

Very surprised that capello hasn't picked downing having been at the game yesterday- downing is playing some great stuff this season and should have been picked.

[Meanwood Villa]

Downing was in the last squad wasn't he? So he's not only been left out, he's been dropped. Very strange. And Albrighton is better than Wilshere

[Holte L2]

Carroll and Jay Bothroyd is a good Division 2 strike paring, nothing more

[timeoutbigbar]

Nobody seems to have mentioned it, but is there any reason Kieron Gibbs is in the squad?  I don't recall him even playing for Arsenal, and he seems to be included for the sole purpose of Capello saying 'I'm turning to the youngsters, this isn't the team that started the world cup' before proceeding to bring in the same 11 clowns who let the country down when a competitive game comes around.

I think Capello has lost the plot.

Smalling has barely played a game for Man United, yet gets called up.

He picks Kevin Davies, then immediately drops him next time, having learned nothing.

He picks Gabby who, with all the will in the world, is clearly a long way from his best having just this week returned from injury.

Bothroyd? A jobbing striker at the very best.

Gibbs? He's young and plays for Arsenal, so get him in.

Also, Ashley is in the squad, but Downing, who has had an infinitely better season than him, is not.

I thought Capello got a lot of unfair stick over the WC debacle, but he seems to have totally lost the plot now, and given up even pretending to try to do the best we can.

[N'ZMAV]

Capello needs to go. Get Hiddink in.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Is Agbonlahor injured? heard something earlier about Cole (c) On standby as Agbonlahor & Carrol are doubts?

[N'ZMAV]

I heard that on Talksport as I was driving. Think it was on the 7pm news bulletin.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Hopefully is just a precaution he did look hurt though on Saturday

[N'ZMAV]

Gary Cahill & Stephen Warnock are called up to the England squad after John Terry and Ashley Cole were withdrawn.

Warnock? He's been poor for a while now.

[N'ZMAV]

Gabriel Agbonlahor has also returned to Villa after being assessed by England medical team. All other players have reported to the team hotel.
