by **jonnymac1979** » Mon May 08, 2006 12:13 pm

yeah sorry, england world cup squad. cheers.
was in a rush but i have heard he is definately in (walcott that is0

by **The Ace1983** » Mon May 08, 2006 12:20 pm

I think he'll be on stand-by. Could be worth the risk, but only if injuries don't get better.

from BBC news:

Aaron Lennon and Theo Walcott are in England's provisional World Cup squad, but Shaun Wright-Phillips, Jermain Defoe and Ledley King miss out.
Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing and Bayern Munich's Owen Hargreaves are other surprise inclusions in Sven-Goran Eriksson's 23-man squad.

Injured pair Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen are also included.

More to follow.

England's provisional squad:
Robinson (Tottenham), James (Manchester City), Green (Norwich), G Neville (Manchester United), R Ferdinand (Manchester United), Terry (Chelsea), A Cole (Arsenal), Campbell (Arsenal), Carragher (Liverpool), Bridge (Chelsea), Beckham (Real Madrid), Carrick (Tottenham), Lampard (Chelsea), Gerrard (Liverpool), Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Jenas (Totenham), Downing (Middlesbrough), J Cole (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Rooney (Manchester United), Owen (Newcastle), Crouch (Liverpool), Walcott (Arsenal).

how the FU*K had nigel reo-coer got on the stand by list?

by **2520years** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:05 pm

I'm surprised AJ got in ahead of Darren Bent. I suppose he'll be at a big club next season, so Sven might as well blood him (if injuries mean he gets called up). Lennon and Walcott made a late charge too. I'm not surprised about Wallcott though. He could be a talisman to replace Rooney.

by **Dimshen** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:07 pm

and andy johson above bent...? pure madness! we're going to the world cup with 2 fit strikers, and a championchip striker on stand by! i think this is sven's statement of intent:

"im going to play out the rest of my days as england manager as someone who is actulally insane"

by **The Red Baron** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:08 pm

The sooner Sven fu.ks off the better.Hargreaves can anyone tell me why he persists with this pr!k

by **stmichael** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:09 pm

jenas and hargreaves should be nowhere near any england squad. glad to see downing in there though.

as for taking walcott, it's a gamble all right. the guy hasn't kicked a ball since signing for arsenal if i'm not mistaken.

by **The Red Baron** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:15 pm

Isnt it srange in his last tournament he is prepared to take a risk.If he had of moved his @rse in previos tournaments we might of actually won something.Iam not particularly over the moon with Mclaren,but the sooner this fu.king idiot spews it the better.

by **dawson99** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:20 pm

lennon and walcott are brave choices tho in fairness to the boring swede.
SWP not even in the call up 5 so if he doesnt put a transfer request in soon hes an idiot

by **Redman in wales** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:20 pm

Walcott is a very big gamble in my book. Not 1 minute of premiership football this season.

Crouch is the only fit striker who has played competative football this season... and while he maybe one of our own - he ain't exactly prolific is he???

Good to see lennon in the squad, I rate him higher than SWP, and think we would be alot better off playing £14M for him rather than SWP
