Not bad Squad at all, Baines showed he's an attacking fullback and can't defend, Baines lost the spot. Heskey's there to compliment Rooney, with the withdrawal of Zamora Heskey has to go.

Johnson is a bit like Walcott, on a good day can be lethal but if marked out the game is a waste of player, It's a SWP win because he's not afraid to shoot from outside the box.

Theodore roosevelt - In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Why didn't Capello take that Own Goal bloke?

He scored twice for us against Japan.
