"Double boost for England"

Sven-Goran Eriksson has been boosted by the return of captain David Beckham and Ashley Cole which is really good.

As you probably know, the Manchester United midfielder was rested on Wednesday as a precaution after he left Old Trafford on Monday night holding an ice-pack to his calf following the 3-0 victory over Everton.

But he is now back in full training at Bisham Abbey along with Arsenal's Ashley Cole, who also sat out Wednesday's session to enable him to recover from a hamstring injury sustained last Sunday during Arsenal's win against Sunderland.

We would still win with out these two, but it is still good to have them back. I am predicting a 5-0 scoreline.

Also looks like Southgate and Ehiogu will be playing in defence, because of the absence of Ferdinand and Campbell.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

I meant "of", not "or".

Aye, it's a shame when the supposed "dominant force" or English football only have 3 people in the England squad.

Not as funny as Viera's poor "tired" excuse :D

Meh!

That was almost funny.

And he'd STILL be a better player than Roy Keane!

Yeh I heard he's gonna upgrade to a walking stick supplied by Reebok, just so he's "oh so tired legs" get a breather during breaks.

Yeah, not bad for somoeone tired though, is he? God help you all when he's refreshed and raring to go!

Well he can't be as 'knackered' as Patrick Kiora, having had such a hard World Cup and a tiring 4 games into the season :-)

Indeed.

But he'll still only be half as knackered as van Nostrilboy!
