    Alan Pardew today hit out at England boss Fabio Capello as he continues to overlook United stars Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan for the England squad. Pardew has accused Capello of constantly looking to build for the future rather than picking the form players.


    Unfortunately for Nolan he is not in the right age group as far as Capello is concerned - he is looking for players who can be in and around the squad for years to come. I can see the merit in this, however the squad should be picked on current form. Capello suggested he would leave the door open for any play who is doing the business, however this has never really happened and we continue to see the same old faces represent England - and they continue to let our country down.


    Nolan is currently the highest scoring midfielder in the premiership and he deserves a squad call up. Joey Barton is a different story as he is being overlooked for his past problems - a lot like Lee Bowyer who would of surely collected many caps during his years at Leeds if it were not for his off field issues.


    Carlton Palmer, Seth Johnson, David Nugent, and Steve Guppy
    All lads who have England caps

    Call me old-fashioned, call me a dinosaur, but if I wanted to read about England I'd go to the England forum. Keep this ****e out of General Chat.

    What a load of one eyed rubbish.

    Nolan is not being picked because of his age, he's not being picked because he's not very good and he plays in a position (off the striker) in which England have an embarrassment of riches (Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard).

    As for Barton, he plays on the right for Newcastle, and England have Walcott, Lennon, Adam Johnson for that position, why on earth would he need to call Barton up when he's a one paced donkey who thrives on playing for the underdog and often loses his rag when the spotlight is onto him.

    Just another set of players which suffer from the premier league hype, just like Joe Cole, people were baffled why he didn't get onto the pitch, they even created a anti-Capello campaign criticising him for not playing Cole. I've seen him live this season and he's awful, just like Barton & Nolan.
