fair question.. and after thinking about it thought Carrahger or Barry would make better cover than the two specialists at this level.

In fact Milner is also capable.

BBC reporting that Barry has passed his fitness/medical test and is set to go to SA

I think Carragher would go as backup(probably should be first choice) for Glen Johnson and Barry is Capello's cornerstone for his midfield, I think on that basis Warnock or Baines have to go and Baines was god awful in the Mexico friendly.

But what is the point of taking them if it isn't even clear they could perform at this level. Warnock wasn't even tried out. If in the event of Cole getting injured, it seems to me the players who can perform and could play there would be more reliable than those two who if anything have shown they are not up to it.
England have more problems up front.. and i rekon they should take all 5 strikers to get the options they might need.

Don't we find out today; thought it was about 1200 hrs?

1240: Sky sources are suggesting Darren Bent has been told he is not going to South Africa. More on that when we get it.

From James, Cambridge, via text to 81111: "Anyone would think that without Barry we won't win it. He's had an average season and if Hargreaves was fit he wouldn't even be considered."

Sky just said he would announce it at lunchtime today, who knows when he has lunch?

Just had a buttie, still no sign of the seven left overs. Come on Cappelo make them damn calls.

1256: Here's where we are England squad-wise: Sky are saying Darren Bent has been left out, while the News of the World's Neil Ashton reckons Michael Carrick is on the plane.

SS Sources saying Theo out, Defoe in.

Are Shaun and AJ in with a chance, looks like Bazzer is definately there?

[razor400]

Just heard on 5LIVE that Barry is fit, well passed the medical anyway.

[Slim]

Thank fuck for that, never would have picked him to miss out, but what a fucking chocolate teapot.

Correct, and I actually think Shaun did more in his short stint than Theo did in 2 games. Shaun can also play both sides effectively and has scored goals under Fabio. I'm not saying he is in, but a far better option for us, he seems to play very well in Internationals.
