    We could probably guess who those players are quite easily. Kyle Walker, Aaron Lennon, Scott Parker. Spurs didnt have many England players at the time.

    But I doubt they are the only ones.

    If it was the stick England players get it puts more weight on the fans. Abuse and you loose.

    I think it would be easy to guess. It's also worth mentioning those players who feign injury to get out of it!

    Well I think the period in question is what 4 years and someone should be able to compare squads to who was missing etc and show who doesn't deserve an England shirt

  6. Fours years isn't going to create the biggest list of already capped England players is it?

  7. I would imagine we will see each possible player say it wasn't them over the next week or so too

    Redknapp says he refused to get them out of it so they still went to play.

    Why does Harry Redknapp have to have information on every relevant topic at the time? For example, If Suarez is a popular subject in the media he comes out and starts yapping about how he nearly signed him and would've won the champions league if he had been able to sign him. Redknapp can't stand not being talked about, why he did all that embarrassing **** in his car window in every transfer window, even if he wasn't doing **** all.

    I think his dog had a bank account in Monaco where the dog was sending transfer bungs to avoid paying tax. And Harry Redknapp bravely took the fall for his dog.

    I think he's so bitter England turned him down after his tax dodging trial went his way (FFs how many spurs fans were on that jury?)

    I think he is constantly being negative with England and anyone involved.... Ergo Gerrard gets it... Anyone who didn't go = England's saviour. If Rooney misused he is on his side. If he does well he'll have something negative

    Kids are scum blah blah

    He once signed vdv late and all of a sudden he's on the TV say oh nobody then is in his office til 11pm and so forth, hanging out every car window.... In other words inviting sky to his home to do it, office, etc etcetc

    Seeing him relegated once again was great... Seeing him rob derby and I mean rob in a lousy play off given how bad his rich end enter club did.... Well the proxy clown should do well with brown envipes this summer but I hope they go down the pan

    Damn right, I wouldnt want to play for England either.
    Cant a player not just say "No, Im not interested in playing for England!" ?
    Chris Sutton did when Glenn Hoddle called him up (that was probably a good thing for England as Sutton sucked but thats besides the point).

    Why on earth would players want to be dragged from the only holiday they get, ie the off season, and made to play more football.
    Its like sending a kid to summer school so they miss their entire six week holiday.

    All that happens if they play for England is they get numpties who support their teams rivals blaming them for England losing (See the current farcical "It was Rooney's fault" from Liverpool fans and "It was Gerrard's fault!" from United fans. See to remember 20 other players in that squad and for me only Cahill, Sterling, Sturridge and Rooney came away from that tournament with 1 decent performance each from the two games. (Studge and Sterling in the first game, Cahill and Rooney in the second).
    Everyone else was mediocre as you like.
