He very rarely used to shoot from outside the box  Can't remember many until this season (5-1 vs Blues excepted).

Now shots from outside the box have given us two goals in a week.

Fulham at home with his left peg comes to mind

Bristol Rovers away in the cup.
Sheff Utd in his first full season. Left peg. Wasn't that outside the box?

Inside I think, but definitely still one of his best goals for me (maybe even second to Blackburn if you remove the context of the game and just focus on the goal itself).

Gabby for England.
I don't see why not. Gabby works very hard, has plenty of strength and pace. The 4-4-2 seems dead now, and Gab has proved very useful playing wide in an attacking 3.
If Hodgson does pick on form, then Gabby would be included.

On current form who would you prefer in the England set-up, Gabby or Walcott, or even Oxlade-Chamberlain?

I'd be very happy for none of our players to get picked for England again. When it happens on anything like a regular basis, it almost always ends with them fucking off.

If Gabby manages a consistent run of form then he should get noticed by England.

Gabby is not really bothered much by England and says as much in his interviews.

Pretty sure Capello called him up for three squads in 2010 and he pulled out injured each time.

True but you'd hope that wouldn't apply to Gabby.

What are the chances of Stephen Ireland locating an English grandparent? Preferably not an imaginary, dead one.

By this time he could be on to second cousins in Krygyzstan.
That's a long way to go for a funeral.

I doubt he knows Krygyzstan exists.
