You'd be pretty fucking hopeful that Bent is nowhere near the Olympic squad.

The Olympics should revert to amateurs only - no sponsorship either

The genie is well and truly out of the bottle. No way that it'll ever go back to that.

Well I hope Bent doesn't end up involved and for our sake I think he needs to be involved in the Euros. He needs to see England will involve him if he's at Villa.

If 'arry gets the job I don't think it'll matter where he is.

No matter what anyone down south says its not a country wide thing - it is a London wankfest
True.

Well the host city is London so that's kind of the idea isn't it?

I'm looking forward to it - got tickets to the football quarter final at Old Trafford. Its on my Dad's bday and I'm also bringing my eldest nephew so its going to be a great boys day out. My Dad supports Wolves and my nephew supports Liverpool (obviously, coming from Burton....) but they do come to the Villa with me a few times a year so it will be nice to sit in a neutral match for a change.

As an aside, i saw the Team GB shirt on sale in Sports Direct a couple of weeks ago. It's utterly shit.

My team ignoring whether their clubs will allow it and excluding overaged players (in other words a waste of time):

..................Butland....................
Walker......Kelly.....Jones....Stephens
...Rodwell....Wilkshire...Ramsey...
....Ox-Chamb..Rhodes.....Bale.........

I think all nationalities are represented, which I think will be a pre-requisite.

Your turn...

If Bent doesn't get in the squad having been playing and scoring regularly for England for the past year then Redknapp's even more of a c*** than I thought he was
