    GB and Ireland fixtures:
    England: Malta (H) Fri 17th 7.45pm, North Macedonia (A) Mon 20th 7.45pm.
    Scotland: Georgia (A) Thu 16th 5pm, Norway (H) Sun 19th 7.45pm.
    Wales: Armenia (A) Sat 18th 2pm, Turkey (H) Tue 21st 7.45pm.
    Northern Ireland: Finland (A) Fri 17th 5pm, Denmark (H) Mon 20th 7.45pm.
    Republic of Ireland: Netherlands (A) Sat 18th 7.45pm, New Zealand (H) Tue 21st 7.45pm.

    All fixtures are Euro Qualifiers, barring Ireland v New Zealand, which is a friendly.

    England squad:
    Keepers: Johnstone, Pickford, Ramsdale.
    Defenders: Walker, Maguire, Trippier, Guehi, Tomori, Konsa, Lewis, Alexander-Arnold.
    Midfielders: Henderson, Rice, Phillips, Gallagher.
    Forwards: Kane, Rashford, Grealish, Saka, Foden, Watkins, Bowen, Palmer.

    Wonky, unbalanced selection, but plenty of quality there. No left-back, again.
    No Ward-Prowse. Mark Noble curse of playing for a **** club.

    None in the U21 squad, either. Devine and Scarlett are in the U20.
    5 in the U19s: Gunter, Dorrington, Phillips, Donley and Lankshear.

    There aren’t many candidates with Maddison injured. Johnson is probably not far away, but England are very strong in the positions he could play

    Brennan Johnson has no chance of getting into the England squad, given he has 22 Wales caps

    Hell of a long time, possibly not this century, maybe as long ago as 1978!

    The England squad for World Cup 2014 didn't contain a single Spurs player.
    They finished bottom of the group and got a single point from a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica.
    Notable omissions include Walker, Rose, Dawson, Lennon and a very young Kane.

    Seen videos of Son limping off in the 82nd min against Singapore, he returned to finish the game, the club need to sit him down and have a word

    He's an idol in South Korea. No way would he pull out of a squad

    Hopefully that means that he's alright.
    He also scored the standard yet ridiculous Son goal from just outside the corner of the box:


    Leicester fans may wish to look away to avoid triggering some PTSD.

    He was saying yesterday that he was fit after the scare last weekend, but wasn't sleeping due to jetlag.
    Maybe we could look to relocate South Korea to a more convenient location next to the Isle of Wight?? <laugh>

    That's true but it was a game where at the time he was injured they were 4-0 up , he needs to think smarter in games , go on the pitch, wave a few flags and play in the important games otherwise he is getting clogged out of football at this rate, the last 3 SK international's he has hobbled off

    For some reason I have blocked that tournament from my memory banks - you see what happens when you don't take a Spurs player! .........and the squad did contain a current Spurs player

    Disappointed with Klinsmann, thought he would have helped the club

    The good news is we appear to have gotten through the CONMEBOL fixtures without any new injuries

    For once...
