Thank goodness as it was one of the few times I actually took money off the bookies having got decent odds at christmas time before the WC!
As for Lambert, he's one of those players that utilises his skills well, has generally more than one way of playing so will get more goals than most one dimensional strikers (e.g. quick or target man). Having said that, his lack of pace will be found out at both Champ and Prem level, he maybe able to adapt better as he seems to have more footballing nause than most players. I don't think he should be considered for England.
If Bent makes the England squad then it will show how few attacking options we have, I would prefer to take an extra attack minded midfielder than waste a space on a one dimensional just about adequate prem striker.
