All good call but still not as bad as Palmer.

Curtis Davies anyone ?

He seems to be having a dig at the England set up by stating that he has been overlooked for England because he is not in a top eight team.
In an article in the Northern Echo, he goes on to say that he got all his England caps when playing for Man City despite spending most of the time on the bench, and then gets overlooked when playing for Sunderland even though he is a first team regular who had the best spell of his career in January and February..
I certainly think he has a point..
hes been taken off in the last three games for doing nothing ,how can this help his cause
Oh the last three games coincide with him not getting picked for England - perhaps his confidence has been knocked by Roy Hodgson picking 4 wingers with a combined total of 4 goals and 1 assist ahead of him? How would you feel if your colleague, performing badly at work, got promoted to a job you went for ahead of you? Would you just think "Oh well he deserves it"? I certainly wouldn;tHe has a point, absolutely. Cleverley, Townsend, Milner, Young, Sterling to name but a few shouldn't be considered.
But if he really wants to make a point/name for himself he needs to do more than a 2 month magic spell.

Roy is a **** only choosing players from the top 4

Didn't Mickey Gray and Gavin McCann get capped with us? The problem with AJ is his consistency, if you ask me. If he plays out of his skin all well and good, but he didn't do himself any favours in the LC final.
Hi problem is that England have a lot of talented wingers now, Sterling, Chamberlin, Townsend, Rodriguez, Lennon. Plus Hodgeson loves Milner. Its going to be very difficult for Johnson to get a game. Lets face it he has had 3 or 4 really good games for us and loads of bad ones so its going to take a bit more for him to get an England spot.
He does have a bit of a point though because players like Cleverly who are bang out of form and not getting a first team stat for their club still get picked
