    Same here, Lamb.

    There's the small part of me that doesn't want any of the players going away to internationals, because our squad isn't the biggest, and an injury or three will undoubtedly knock our cutting edge. But, what can you you do..? They are high quality players of ambition and in super form. It's inevitable that the more successful a team becomes, the more internationals a club ends up with.

    It sort of reminds me a bit of Nottm Forest in the Clough/Taylor era. They took a team of largely journeymen players, added to them, and in reaching the extreme heights with the club, they all became internationals.

    Its amazing to think that 3 years ago Rickie and Adam were playing in League 1. We lost 3-2 to Carlisle!

    What would be more concerning, England losing a meaningless friendly, or France losing a qualifier? Spider must be in a state of shock.

    Where are and who are the best English Centre Backs, we seem to be lacking any quality in this department, even our own 4 Saints CB's are overseas players, there must be some out there.

    Just look through the squad. Plenty still there. Also, Jack Cork came in either side of League One, so deserves an honourary mention, plus isn't Barnard still a Saints player, officially at present..?

    Yeah that is a big problem, we are really bad at CB compared to almost all of the top countries. Germany have got about eight who could play for us...some of them can even pass!

    Steven Caulker's having a good season. Got to be a better shout than Smalling or Jones (what's happened to Jones?)

    Dawson should be in the squad without a doubt.

    I've heard Aaron Martin is the next big thing in the CB world!

    Jones and Smalling are only in the England squad cos they are in the Man U squad...Dawson would be a better bet and is a leader on the pitch.
    Caulker has little chance playing for Swansea...it's a miracle our boys have had a look in

    Causes of gluteal-strain

    •Stretching the gluteal muscles beyond the amount of tension that they can withstand
    •Suddenly putting stress on the gluteal muscles when they are not ready for the stress
    •Using the gluteal muscles too much on a certain day
    •A direct blow to the gluteal muscles


    So someone kicked him up the arse.

    I told you they were out to noble him.
