"King not in England squad?"

Disgrace, absolute disgrace if what MoTD said was true!

He should at least be in the squad, stupid Campbell.

Well, that's Sven-Goran Eriksson for you! :P

I also agree Ledley King should be in this England squad for the forthcoming matches; without any glimpse of a doubt.

Yet, even if he had made the cut, I'd be extremely surprised to see him anywhere near the starting-eleven (knowing what Eriksson's like), with John Terry and Rio Ferdinand in squad; bar the others.


As much as I think both Ferdinand and Campbell prove vital addittions to the England squad, when they're only so-far away from a recent injury/absence and have only had "so-much" first-team football since their returns, no matter how good they really are, you HAVE to put a question-mark over their heads first and foremost, before anything else.

However, with Sven-Goran Eriksson - as he's done with David Beckham for TWO major competitions now - it's what it says on the back of your shirt that really counts...

:P

I don't think Rio should start.

Sol and Terry with Woodgate and King as back up.

I think Rio is overrated.

If it wasn't for his Indian beating waze, he'd probably be in there, now. Well, not now, as he's injured, but you get what I mean. It's always nice to remember past mess-ups the F.A. have made in this age of massive mistakes.

Indeed, they haven't actually seen him play though, between their narrow minded selective posting, completely mis-understanding posts and reading crap from The Sun they somehow managed to over look what a truly outstanding talent he really is.

I'm just waiting for him to get fit, slot into Madrid's defence and then walk straight into the England setup. Providing he stays fit this will happen, just wait for the day.

Woodgate, in his prime, is the best central defender in the world.

I'd say England, but, really, who's better?

In all fairness to Colourless though with his anally rententive Chelsea chants and ignorance to all other things football, I have to say, over all the posts I have read Ashely possibly even tips Lil Bro for sheer crap talk.

I'm still waiting for the post to point out where I said Terry was "crap" in the air. Not the one where I said Woodgate had the advantage as he was better in the air...

I also heard from a few sources on here that the majority don't read posts properly and actually know little to do with football but instead just make things up, not even close to rumours.

But he did absolutely nothing wrong, and proved he was by fari good enough to play for England, even againist the might of France until Liverpool stepped in...

Yes, I think I heard those words from somewhere. Must have been a footballing genius, with common sense, who makes valid points....

^o) x like a thousand....

That would be extremely difficult seeing as he is out for the next 2 weeks, idiot.

Anyway, Terry and King, until they put a foot wrong I see no reason why they should be dropped.
