Lambert might get called up again, depends on the status of the others and whether Walcott is fit at any time soon. Still with Utd,Arsenal,City getting into their CL campaigns there could be a lot of dropping out.Don't think the players will be wanting to be pulled out unneccessarily though cos the places for Rio are going to be disputed, that said players like Rooney and Sturridge will already be on the team sheet for Brazil so they probably won't care much..

Depends if he's fit to start really, if we have to play Davis we'll get mullered because he doesn't control his area and will invariably get beaten low down just inside his posts.

Certainly not, without Boruc we'd probably be sub mid-table by now.

depends what the build up programme is, I suppose there must be another IB next month when the barrages take place so there will be friendlies as well. Depends what Rickie does for us as well I don't doubt. Scoring against Utd could well set him up for another game or two.

there are degrees of uselessness and being useless againt Citeh (or whatever) and Lithuania isn't the same thing. Wasn't it Berahino who scored ?

that's what playing for Utd does for you, why I don't doubt that Utd's U15 keeper is a better option at RB than a real one from a "modest" club.

played in the U20 WC though and U21 squads change totally when a new Euro campaign starts. We had one last summer didn't we so this group will see us through until the next one more or less. The age cut-off is always at the start of the qualifying campaign so some of them can be up to almost 23 when the actual Euro finals take place. As most players are approaching full caps at that age anyway it's always best to start with some underage players.

I just cannot estimate how much not doing a "McCanns" has cost us over the years and I've no reason to. Up until they were 8 or 9 (well the youngest) we had an au-pair,distant cousin of the wife's ,dragged her round the globe with us, cost a fortune, poor love had a nervous breakdown in the end and married a Spanish goat-farmer or something. Still what can you say, we are convinced we did the right thing.

Cecile Bourgeon's campaign to find her daughter was pretty impressive as well, trouble is it didn't last long, just until the PJ and their investigators with thir PhD's in criminal psychology got to work on her. Roving commissions in Algeria, ex locked up, another ex hunted down in the 4 corners of the planet,Facebook campaigns everywhere, half of Clermont turning out to search every week-end, impressive campaign based on absolutely feck all. As I've said before with a smart woman at the helm it would have gone on forever. Then there's that joke abduction a while back round Nottingham way was it ? Girl missing and at the end of the day it was just an idiotic attention seeking mother who'd stashed her round at her man's place; Not to mention another case local to me, le petit Antoine, everybody knows the mum probably accidently killed him but she says she didn't and we're still all looking for him 4 years on.

Net seems to be closing in on what the Irish family saw and we've had some speculation of that here of late.

I think the Met have had quite a few responses to their latest ID pics, 1000+ was it that I read ?

He's been starting for a while now I think.

but until now you've always made the right decision, they obviously did not. To me there is no excuse whatsover for a couple of Doctors to leave 3 small kids alone in a rented appartment. They must have had the means to avoid the situation and Nannies are easily come by in Portuguese resorts. They are hedonists and the eldest child suffered. No sympathy for them whatsover.

And have you ever left them alone to go down the road for a pizza with your friends ?

Then you are or will be a bad parent, do not worry you are or won't be alone. Parenting is a full time job, if you don't have the time to do it yourself then build a structure around you that does, grandparents, baby-sitters whatever.

33 is the right number, looks porky enough as well. And to think that some told me on this forum that he was a better player than Morgan.

But they've still called up Sterling as a replacement, even after Walker got a yellow that's the point. They've replaced Cleverly with Sterling and not with a right back so they are obviously satisfied that what they have is better than what they could get isn't it ? I don't think there's any rule about not changing the group between 2 international matches, it's just a convenient way of having all of the players together for a certain time.

or even Smalling and Jones. Walker was always a suspension risk.

doesn't work like that I'm afraid. You either stay at home or get kidsitters in even if it's only across the street..Families like the McCanns could easily afford a live in Nanny or an Au Pair, if you want to carry on your social life with 3 infants it's what you do.

because they went on a South American jolly with a substandard squad and got their ass kicked, because they failed to score against Georgia because the mandatory Real Madrid player (cos DD's mate Zizou is a big cheese down there nowadays) couldn't score for something like 14 consecutive games. Why they're even considering lancing an appeal against the FIFA ranking system because they're in a group of 5 and didn't get to muller a minnow 15-0 twice to get their average up. Deschamps is an idiot, the FFF are idiots because despite their squad actually going on strike in South Africa in 2010 they've never cleared out all of the rotten elements, in fact they've all crept back in again .

but as Cleverly and Cole have pulled out injured does that not mean that they could call up a right back? Don't think it's like Rugby where replacements have to be position for position. Hodgson obviously considers that Smalling and Phil Jones are better right backs than Clyne, then again he's an old idiot so what can you expect..

well looks like I'm wrong then, Hodgson probably takes Europa League experience as well.

Most of them are pretty good actually, we used to put ours in the resort Kid's Clubs when they were young, they loved it, not sure that the same could be said of the staff though because with 10 or 12 like ours for 8 hours they all looked absolutely shot at the end of the day. If either of them had been abducted they'd have been back within half an hour having reduced the culprit to a drooling mass.

I think that if you pull out of 1 match in an international group you pull out of all of them, so for the first match he might not have been apt and perhaps England U21s didn't want to keep him on or anywhere near the group for fear of spreading his illness. Hasn't stopped him training with Saints though. Getting the impression that Shaw is at the moment a very fragile young man who needs wrapping in cotton wool most of the time. It will probably pass off quickly enough as he gets older.

but they could have called him up for Cole or Cleverly, would have made more sense than Sterling anyway. They didn't because they didn't want to do that.
