Him and Fat Fwank would have been my choice.

After 2004 - Gerrard should have been shunted to the right, Golden Bollocks dropped with Scholes and Hargreaves in the middle.

No England manager would have had the bottle to do that.

Very true, just look at how the press reacted when Beckham was left out 3 years later.
Its been more of a popularity contest than a team for a long time now.

Hargreaves, Scholes and Lampard would have been a terrific and balanced midfield. Shame no England manager at the time had any balls whatsoever.

Any mix of lampard Scholes, Beckham, Gerrard with Hargreaves in a three would have worked really well.

Well, Ladbrokes are encouraging bets on Villa getting two players in today.

If Ireland does leave today I will elevate Mark Hughes to my second favourite manager behind Paul Lambert.

I know it's a negative, but I think this bit of business has warmed my heart more than any other this window, such is my disdain for this pleb.

I've never liked Mark Hughes, but if he signs Ireland I'll change my mind.
