At this stage I wouldn't be too surprised if we went to Brazil 2014 still playing Lampard/Gerrard/Ferdinand/Terry

I can agree with any team that doesn't involve Lampard, Gerrard or Terry.

I really hope only Parker from Tottenham makes the team, and surely has a shot at captain. I expect Lennon/Defoe/Walker will be on the edges of the squad with probably only Walker having a hope.

Rankine Over Gash: Feb 18, 2010; We had our meetings in a room with a bar and Brian Clough said to me "Millsy, get the beers in and get yourself a Guinness". I told him I didn't drink. He said "Get yourself a fucking Guinness" so I did. I drank it, pulled a face and then he named me in the team. I never said no again.

Ha. What a loving mess. I don't want either Rio or Lampard to go but if Gerrard is playing well he might be worth a shot.

It's all irrelevant - our tournament has been undermined already by Capello's outburst and the new captain is hosed from the start. I'd give it to Parker - he clearly gives a poo poo about playing for England and has been in great form for two years. Not sure if he does a good soundbyte though.

Fabio Capello may have breached his contract with the FA
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16905818

Between the useless FA, the outspoken Italian manager, and the stupid press who will spin anything whichever way they possibly can, it's pretty comical to watch unfold.

Scott Bakula: Jul 24, 2007

You would have thought with this, the fact he's England manager and there has been a reasonable amount of noise that Terry is fairly disliked in the England camp that he could not say anything and maybe not call Terry up. Having a group of people who are all happy to be around each the entire time is far more important than having maybe a marginally better defender there

No decent manager is going to sit quietly about having his squad decisions overruled the board though. They might as well just hold a public vote of no-confidence (even if Capello is wrong on this).

# ? Feb 6, 2012 12:28

Scott Bakula: Jul 24, 2007

Its understandable at him being annoyed and even saying something, but if there really is a large group of England players unhappy with Terry he probably should have done something about it.

The date of the trial really shouldn't have been pushed back until after the Euro's though. It left everyone in a bad situation

Edit: Capello never said anything about still considering Terry being captain. Unsurprisingly it was a poo poo translation

I reckon next captain should be, in order of preference:

1) Joe Hart. Least damaged goods in the squad, genuinely world class in his position, arguably to a greater extent than any other player. In it for the long haul. Seems a good communicator and leader.

2) Scott Parker. Everything you want in a captain, wouldn't give the press anything beyond the basics, knocking on a bit and probably won't make it to another tournament.

3) Gareth Barry; see Scott Parker.

4) Rio Ferdinand. gently caress John Terry.

It should be Hart for sure. He's young and he's the first name on the team sheet for the next decade. You want your captain to be someone who's nailed on to start every game, and unfortunately neither Barry nor Parker is there because of the 'golden generation' filling up central midfield. If you're concerned that a keeper won't be able to captain properly when play is in the other half (I've seen this as a reason it shouldn't be Hart) then make your vice-captain someone who will be up there like Parker or Gerrard and let them do the yelling.

He was pretty loving silent when John Terry was publicly disagreeing with him in South Africa.

Scikar: Nov 20, 2005; 5? Seriously?

Hart is quality but I don't know how well the other players look up to him at this point. I think Parker is the better choice for the tournament, and then look at giving it to Hart afterwards.

ragle: Nov 1, 2009

Give it to Parker, consummate pro that everyone respects and most recent FWA footballer of the year. I trust him to exert leadership throughout the pitch more than a keeper. And then when Parker is past it you can give it off to Rooney or another outfield player rather than Joe Hart keeping it for the next 10 years.

# ? Feb 7, 2012 04:44

Paperhouse: Dec 31, 2008; Legal consent is a tad arbitrary really

Parker really is the obvious choice, especially given how inspirational he was for West Ham last season when he wasn't even their captain.

I've always enjoyed Parker's post match remarks this seasons, I think England would do well to have him be captain.

Couch: May 16, 2004; COME ON TOT!

I wish Parker had been playing for us for ages instead of rotting on the Chelsea bench for a bit.

Either him or Barry should be captain purely to keep one of Gerrard/Lampard out of the side. (watch as this happens but they both play in midfield and Barry is captaining from RB).

If England went 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, could Gerrard and Parker play centre midfield with an AMC ahead of them?

Bring Lineker out of retirement imo, I'm sure he can still run around the 6 yard box.

It's the logo. The Intertoto cup existed originally solely so that football betting could go on during the offseason. It's the standard betting sheet columns for stuff like Totocalcio in Italy, though I have no idea what the equivalent things in other countries are called.
