The sick little phone molesting prick met the chav behind our back, touting himself out because we wouldn't pay his fucking agent £5k a week. Great player, but an ubercunt of the lowest fucking order.
The next cúnt that praises the phone molester on here gets a life ban.
I imagine he had a 'gut feeling' he wouldn't be making the squad. Even if it was the gut feeling of a mobile phone vibrating in his colon as Roy rang to break the news.

Nearly pissed myself there! Oh that'll get me through the day!
Despite dropping Cole didn't have the stones to drop Lampard. Appalling lack of CB cover - only Jones and Smalling who despite United's woes have played barely more than a handful of games there between them in 3 years at United. Basically picked 3 RBs and only 2 CBs.

And Jones is nowhere near international quality. Not even PL quality to my mind. As much as I despise the dirty little judas phone smuggler, I'd have picked him in the squad in general long before I'd have picked Jones, LumpoLard or Smalling.
Did I mention that the dirty little judas Nokia analist is an absolute low life cúnt?

Jones looked good at Blackburn but now looks an immobile, injury-prone utility clogger. Smalling? Am I glad he turned us down to go to Utd - he looks pretty fucking shite at RB and grindingly average at CB.
Arse-Trumpet Cole? I wouldn't pick him, on principle alone, even if every other English-qualified LB had died overnight.

England have two left backs in the squad who have no Champions League experience, not sure how that will impact on them but it looks threadbare. Hate Cashly but given the options I would have picked him. Still remember his behaviour after the Germany game in South Africa left a lot to be desired.
Can't believe I'm advocating picking another disgusting Chav but that squad could really do with Terry.
Whatever your thoughts on the strength or merits of the squad this 'progressive' selection means very little if he fields starting XIs including Gerrard, Lampard AND Milner.

So then are they not correct for leaving him at home and giving baines and shaw the experience as they will be the one's who will be expected to play key role's for the euro's ? Personally (and I said this a few weeks ago) I tip my hat off to woy for what he is doing - he and the world knows that engerland are not good enough to win the world cup and may not be good enough to qualify from their group, so he is using this world cup to give his younger and inexperienced players some much needed tournament experience before the euro's
Prior engerland managers have shown far too much loyalty to a failed generation imo
you could actually make a pretty decent team from that squad :
HART
Baines,
Shaw,
Johnson,
Jagielka,
Ox,
sterling,
barkely,
lalanna
sturridge
lambert
plenty of pace and ability, and the youth will help in the heat and high altitudes, but Woy won't pick em, he'll cave to the media and pick cahill, gerrard, lampard and rooney and we'll get raped and go home pointless.
It why I hate watching England. the managers always pick the players from the popular clubs rather than the form players like the Spanish, Italians and Germans do.

how else did Phil neville get nearly 60 caps ?
In fairness there isn't enough interlull level guile there and they'd be beaten easily by cynical experienced teams, but I take your point about the team selections totally. I'd also add that the media has too much influence. Rooney (just as an example) could be absolute shit all season and if he was dropped the media would slaughter the Ingerland manager.
disgusting but funny
