If I was a betting man i'd put money on Hodgson (wrongly in my eyes) taking Zamora.

i'm quite sure that hodsgon will throw a couple of curveballs in there. zamora could be one. he could take joey barton. or leave john terry at home. it's going to be interesting and fun any which way.

The squad for the friendlies is announced on Wednesday.

Which is the same Wednesday Hodgson will announce the squad for the Euros. He has until the 29th to make alterations, but I can't see him naming a player and then changing his mind and calling someone else up.

No, no, no, no, no.....please don't say things like that, that just tempts fate.

A great choice . Our front pairing will look like this:

It will strike fear into our opposition.

Well thats an adventurous choice from the new manager.

[smokie36]

Even I'm left speechless by that selection.

[spongeman]

From over here it does not look like Ferdinand will be going, and that is no surprise. Hes not had a good season, Terry is a better defender.

Yes the unofficial gossip from the rumour mill is that Ferdinand is not included, and that all the old faces will be there, plus a few newbies such as Carroll, Jones and Wellbeck.

Most notable absences may be Walker, Richards, Crouch and Ferdinand.

Foster has reaffirmed his retirement from international football.

Gossip from the rags as I say.

[LucidLucifer]

Most notable absences may be Walker, Richards, Crouch and Ferdinand.

Something is wrong if at least one from Walker and Richards doesn't make it.

Well Walker is injured but i am surprised he chose Jones over Richards but his flexibility maybe have counted.

Nice he chose AOC from the Arse reminds me of when they chose Walcott not so long ago.

As for Andy "carthorse" Carroll the tournament could make him a better player if he plays but lets be honest here,he is not that good to start with and Crouch would of been the sensible choice.

Ok for throwing on for the dreaded long-ball i suppose but i just don't get it,Defoe deserves to go because of his past experience and scoring.

Hodgson's gameplan will be known to all and break us down if you can!!!! then we might nick the odd 1-0 win if we piss enough teams off
