Southgate sticking to picking players that are playing for their clubs and in form then.He really is a twat.
If Mings had been left out, I would been buying into the narrative a bit more. England U21's have the European Championships this summer and having Ramsey and Archer being key players in that tournament will do them better than if Ramsey was chucked on for a few minutes in a game that was already won.
Mason, Gareth and Lampard are in a bizarre love triangle, it's the new order of things.

On the other, if a Villa player's in the side I start caring about them doing well. No Villa players (who should obviously all be in the starting XI and filling the bench, including the non-English ones) at least means I can just watch for the football and not give a stuff about the result.Why is life so hard?I always think if our players aren't getting call ups playing for us they are more likely to want to move to a club where they will. It's a double-edged sword, but in the main I'm in favour of them getting called up.The trouble is then they are being tapped up by other clubs "teammates" or, more recently, being convinced to move clubs by the national manager.
