For those who aren't miserable bastads.

From the provisional squad of 30 that's already been named (regardless of who you'd have had in the 30 if you'd been picking it), who would your final 23 be if you were choosing?

I'd have to go for;
1. Joe Hart
2. David James
3. Rob Green
4. Jamie Carragher
5. Ashley Cole
6. Rio Ferdinand
7. Glen Johnson
8. Ledley King
9. John Terry
10. Matthew Upson
11. Gareth Barry (if not fit then Tom Huddlestone)
12. Michael Carrick
13. Joe Cole
14. Steven Gerrard
15. Adam Johnson
16. Frank Lampard
17. Aaron Lennon
18. James Milner
19. Theo Walcott
20. Darren Bent
21. Peter Crouch
22. Emile Heskey
23. Wayne Rooney

Forwards: Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.

Only one change Defoe for Bent. He has more experience.

Edited for accuracy.

Theo Walcott is shit.
Can't believe he's been to 2 world cups!

As far as I know Walcott has only been to 1 world cup ( so far ).

you know what i mean Mr.Pedantic!

The strange thing is he will still be the youngest in the squad.

I can't narrow it down to 23, due to my almost complete ignorance of the ability of the 30 people involved.

Goalies:

Hart
Green

Fuck this taking 3 keepers crap. Has a country ever had 2 injured?

Defence:

Johnson
Cole
Terry
Ferdinand
King

Baines

J. Cole
Carrick
Lennon

Carragher can fuck off, he's had a shite season and has no commitment, I'll think about the rest later....

I genuinely don't know who some of those players are, who they play for, what position - and I have no inclination to find out

Couldn't give a fu-ck

I will be joining in with all the Wales, Scotland and Ireland fans laughing at them when they get knocked out

I will pissing my sides at all the plastic micks, the daft sectarian jokos and the smelly taffs who yet again failed to qualify and channel their hate at the people who more or less fund everything they do, the inbred halfwits that they are......

How the fook can you laugh at our own countrys football team getting knocked out of the world cup? Reminds me of the clowns in this town who'd rather support Manure, Mags, Borer, Mackems, Chelski, scousers etc. etc. and have no time for our own team.

Its a simple case of laughing at those same clowns who took no notice of our relegation yet sat in the towns pubs crying as though they had lost a relative when England got knocked out in 2006

No it's not. I support my country, whatever they are involved in, same as i support Pools whoever they come up against. Obviously a load of rarfs are going to support England as well as decent supporters. But there's probably some rarfs supporting Pools as well and that won't make me stop supporting us either.
COME ON ENGLAND

I would give Barry till June 11th and if he wasn't fit call up Owen Hargreaves (If he fit enough) simply because I don't rate Michael Carrick. If Hargreaves injured still then I'd call Parker back, once more simply because i want anyone other than Carrick.

And please don't anyone tell me we can't call Hargreaves up because we can, FIFA rules state a player can be called into the squad because of injuries up to 24 hours before their first game and that player DOES NOT have to have been part of the 30 man squad.

what he said.

Don't give 2 fu-cks about the overpaid premiership wankers.

I'm English, but want no part of the national football team

Sounds like a statement a Poolie Mag or Manure would make. "Yeah i was born in Hartlepool but they're shyte"
Every other country in the World Cup have teams full of overpaid wankers. The difference being that ours represent our country, England. I was born here and am proud to be English, almost as much as i am proud to be a Poolie. So come on England!

Couldnt agree more, I want England to win the World cup and also host it in my life time. I think this is the year we will win the compertition and also find out we are hosting it in 2018

I cannot "cheer" players I despise. Simple as that.

If England sent a team of players who were worth cheering for, then I would do so
But they aren't - so I won't

Parmo stop it or I will cancel your pie rations!

You'll spit more than that when you're eating crab paste off Nelsons and Skyes backs.
