Ask Woy what he thinks of Joel Ward ?

The answer would be Joel Who ?

He'll stick with his big club under achievers even after Glen Johnson officially announced himself Sh!te last night.
TV, Journalists and The FA (Inc the current manager) are obsessed with big clubs & their players no matter how much they under perform.

Against Italy and Uruguay everybody will have to defend and put their nakkers on the line for ninety minutes. There will be absolutely no possibility of England going forward we would get taken apart!.

Pretty sure I heard Roy saying literally the other day something along the lines of 'having had two years to prepare for the tournement I'm not going to start picking unknown quantities now.' Also made reference to this two year period in that the form (good or bad) of the last few weeks wasnt likely to impact his final decision.

Personally, I see his point, but don't entirely agree. I think there's a balance to be had in keeping a core squad of the past 24 months, but not being afraid to go with the odd wild card, who's hit form at the right time.

Basically gave license to pick Cleverley and the other abject, confidence-drained s***e at United, instead of looking at youthful players who may only have broken through in 2014.
