One RB again, how many more **** games does Walker have to have before we can start talking about Clyne? PS Roy will almost definitely stick with Joe Hart, he'll be the second best GK on the pitch though.
Great news about Rickie, but, to be honest, couldn't see him not getting a call up. Not as if he did anything wrong. He has said that he won't start, but hopes he can go to Brazil as an option. And so say all of us, SRL.
Hmm, yes we used to say the same about Matt Le Tissier, but they used to astound everyone time and again, with his omission. OK, Rickie may be less of a one-off than Matty was, and someone England can fit into their system, but it'll be a few more years before I'm utterly confident of a Southampton player making an England squad. Still very odd to find myself being interested in an England squad.
Update... SENIOR SQUAD CALL UPS FOR WEEK COMMENCING 7TH OCT: Artur Boruc - (POLAND vs Ukraine & England) Maya Yoshida - (JAPAN vs Serbia & Belarus) Dejan Lovren - (CROATIA vs Belgium & Scotland) Steven Davis - (N. IRELAND vs Azerbaijan & Israel) Gastón RamÃrez - (URUGUAY vs Ecuador & Argentina) Rickie Lambert - (ENGLAND vs Montenegro & Poland) YOUTH SQUAD CALL-UPS FOR WEEK COMMENCING 7TH OCT: Calum Chambers (ENGLAND U19 vs Switzerland, Andorra & Slovenia) Luke Shaw - (ENGLAND U21 vs San Marino & Lithuania) Matt Targett - (ENGLAND U19 vs Switzerland, Andorra & Slovenia) James Ward-Prowse (ENGLAND U21 vs San Marino & Lithuania) Lloyd Isgrove - (WALES U21 vs Lithuania & San Marino) More to follow...
Don't forget Lambert hasn't got the problem of being a scoring midfielder. England Managers seemed to think Le Tissier was a striker and either played him up front or on the wing. The one time he got into the centre midfielder position (wandered in there) he nearly scored a blinder from distance. Rickie has also scored. He will go to Brazil unless he's injured but I think he will only be back up from now. Although saying that Rooney's been beaten up in training again
This night next week I'll be on the beer in Cologne for Ireland game!I fear we will be ripped to shreds!Did Shaw make his U21 debut yet or did he limp off again?

Lloyd Isgrove is in the Wales senior squad to play Macedonia and Belgium. Yes, Wales really are that bad.
Just to say that I like Isgrove, think he will be a good player, so congrats to him. But his professional career currently is 1.5 games in the milk cup. Sad thing for Wales is, they do have a handful of decent Premier players, but most of them have little interest in digging in for their country. They really need to beat Macedonia if they want to get out of the also rans pots for the next qualifying tournament and give themselves a chance. Anyway we've done our bit with Bale...who they will never see again.
I should be going to see Maya cos the ground is just down the road but I've done my back in! on another matter: why the hell isn't Morgan in the French squad ??????????????? after all he won all the awards last season for a team that's 4th in the Premiership!
