Schniederlin not named in French squad (now, there's a surprise)

Cheers.

Anyone know what time the squad is being announced?

I think Hodgson is naming a 30 man squad today (?) so wouldn't surprise me to see one or two out of JRod, Shaw, Clyne, Chambers, Cork, JWP named as a result of the extra 7 spaces available. JRod and Shaw the most likely I guess. I think Lallana and Lambert will retain their places (despite Lambert not being 'on fire' for us recently)

He looked superb in the SEVEN -NIL drubbing of Pompey, but that's probably not saying much...

Interesting first post on the forum. Hope you've got a strong tin hat posting such positivity on here.... p.s. welcome to the forum Ralph

How about something based on the new Scotland away kit...

Get the open top bus warmed up

@officialpompey: GOAL!!! #Pompey 1 (Jervis 48) Accrington 0

@willcope: That was, without fear of contradiction, THE WORST 45 mins of professional football I have seen all season (& many a season) #pompey v #asfc

@ASFCofficial: Drennan optimistically tries to replicate Marco van Basten but the ball ends up in row P of the away end.

That's a tight old bottom half...(so to speak)...

How did we get onto the JWP topic in the first place? Anyway, back to the match build up.... JWP to start...one goal and 2 assists... 3-2 to Saints

Indeed.

Or... Davis upped his game and became preferred starter which has dented JWP's confidence a bit

And conversely, there's still time for him to recapture and grow that potential...

Damn, you got me there....
