Shame for the man... Jagielka, Stones and Smalling did... I thought Allardyce would not be an FA yes man, but patently he is..
First thing Jose did at United was drop Smalling and rightly so and he definately isn't international level.
Disappointing. Different boss, same ****. Have we forgotten that in the Euros, not 2 months ago, we played like an embarrassing group of clueless clown shoes, so we change the name on the top of the headed note paper then change **** all after that. Woy is dead, long live Woy 2.
Maybe Alladyce will have the same effect on those players that Phelans had on ours. They've gone from not good enough for the PL to 5th and warning plaudits for their attitude.
Curtis can also play for Sierra Leone or Ireland, I suspect if he's called up by the latter he will take it.
Rate he is going, there will be a few mentioning Livermore at centre-half for England by the end of the season- looked superb so far
Curtis is about 40 now isn't he? Can't see the point in bringing him in to the fold now. He wouldn't be in it long.
It never ceases to amaze me why people get irked at stuff like this, it's absolutely ****ing brilliant that he didn't make the squad.
Depends how passionate you are about your players making the national squad, it's a bad thing for us at the moment but surely any English City fan gets pride from seeing one of the City lads play for England
Not really, there were plenty of neutrals saying Davies should be in, can't see how that makes the FA a laughing stock
Commentators during the game were pretty effusive in their praise for him and his chances of being in the squad, so it's not just a City thing. That said I'm happy for as many of our players as possible to get a week off.
Arnt the FA already a bit of a joke anyway ... Look at their managerial appointments , the only renegade they ever appointed went mad and sang a song with Lamarr
