I wonder if Mark is now knocking one out over the Liverpool revival.

What was the point of not picking Phil Jones in the u21 squad if he's not going to be in the full squad.Jones doesn't get picked but Richards and Smalling who were named in the u21 are also in the full squad.Do Crapello and Pearce not discuss the sqauds before they're announced.Another strange pick is Boothroyd,he has to have improved a whole lot because he was average at best when he was at Rovers.

He has, come on 100% from what I've seen of him. Currently leading scorer in Championship with 13 goals in 17 games, that's a hell of a record and deserves recognition. About time England managers started looking down the leagues for some talent, there's plenty there. People give England manager stick when they don't look down the leagues and they get stick when they do, can't win.

The gap in quality between the Premier League and the Championship is immense. I've sat through a couple of games this season including the south Wales derby and not only was the standard of football disappointing they were boring.

Very true on both points, I won't disagree but it's a friendly, the lad's scored 13 in 17 so why not give him a chance? surely that's what friendlies are for? He's one of, if not the, most in form English striker so why not.

Fair play as everyone deserves their chance. Either way I won't be watching so I won't say too much more on the matter
