This is the England 23 that I think will go to WC, in order of probabiliy


K: James, Green, Hart


D: Terry, A.Cole, Johnson, Rio, King, Carragher, Warnock


M: Lampard, Gerrard, Lennon, Carrick, SWP, J.Cole, Milner, Barry


A: Rooney, Defoe, Heskey, Crouch, Walcott

I sincerely hope we don't need Caragher strikes me he's had a poor season in a poor season for Liverpool. Him and Campbell been strongly touted. Have we really no-one younger?


Initial 30 named later today - I'd think Zamora or Bent will be in that too and Parker

Very much agree that Parker should be in! I've always liked Bent, and still think he had a hard time at Spurs (they were saying he was sh!t when he was their top scorer), but don't think he's really up to the international level. That said, I don't rate Defoe much higher.


Zamora has had a great season, and maybe he'd be that something different to bring off the bench....

Carragher has had a poor season but he does have a lot of experience in every defensive position (and also ex-central midfield) and is rarely injured so in an England squad composed of players who regularly breakdown I can see why he is now touted for WC in Africa.

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.


Defenders: Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock.


Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Shaun Wright-Phillips.


Forwards: Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney

The excitement grows.. and naturally I shall be throwing my full support behind 'our boys' as they play 'foot-ball'


I have a few questions.


1. Is the the terrifying referee with the boggly eyes still going?

2. Do we have a new official song, or are we to be treated to another round of Three Lions, sung by tone-deaf sunburnt plasterers, high on Carling?

3. Is it unlucky to watch a match on ITV if BBC is also showing the same game?

Bob....


1) No

2) No and Yes respectively

3) Yes, although less unlucky than watching it on Sky


Just be glad there isn't a time difference for this World Cup that means people getting "into the spirit of things" at bugger-off-o'clock in the morning.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
