it's probably king since taking dawson seems to make more and more sense since carragher's covering two positions in any case, plus ferdinand and terry didn't look 100% v japan.

Maybe, maybe not...

1415: How thick can this plot get? The News of the World's Neil Ashton reckons Ledley King is NOT going to South Africa. Unbelievable drama.

1411: BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan says he has it on good authority that Ledley King is IN the England World Cup squad.

The FA really is plumbing new depths of incompetence here. It is 23 names on a piece of paper, for fucks sake. Just announce it.

 

[kained&able]

ledley is by far the best alternative to ferdinand. i wouldn't want upson and terry playing together. Too similar. One classy defender one donkey(not in a bad way) is always the way forward.

From BBC:

1502: The England squad will be announced on the FA's website at 1600 BST. That is the first official confirmation of anything we've had all day.

 

[Epico]

Come on, how long must they drag this out!

Are they waiting until they've coaxed Theo Walcott off the roof?

To be fair, if it's right that Capello can't get hold of one of the players, it's hardly fair on that person potentially to be hearing first from the media, is it?

Remember how aggrieved Kevin Keegan was when Bobby Robson didn't tell him personally in 1986 ....

But who on that panel would make themselves uncontactable...
fecking stupid.. Technology has well advanced since 86?

 

[kabbes]

If they haven't made themselves contactable on the day the squad is announced, that's their OWN fucking fault!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Maybe they think if they hold out long enough Capello will get fed up and drop someone else who he can get hold of

 

[Epico]

They're busy guys.
You know what it's like; Bentley's to race, Groupies to dog.

From chrisbevan_bbc on Twitter: "Just had it confirmed to me that Scott Parker is one of the remaining England players to miss out on a place in the World Cup squad."

1525: Sky sources are now claiming they have all seven. They think Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone and Scott Parker will join Leighton Baines, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott and Darren Bent in missing out.

Only surprising one out of that lot is Johnson i'lld say, would've preffered him over SWP.

 

[kabbes]

WTF happened to the England squad? I'm sure it was looking so promising 5 years ago. Now we're discussing whether Dawson, Huddlestone, Parker, Baines, Johnson, Walcott and Bent are the players to win us the world cup.

Thank fuck we actually have a good manager for a change, because the squad is depressing as hell.

 

[Lord Camomile]

General consensus is the following will miss out:

Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, Scott Parker, Leighton Baines, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott and Darren Bent.

O RLY

 

[agricola]

Baines is unlucky, albeit not as unlucky as Darren Bent and Johnson are if that list is correct. Heskey is shit and has been all year, and the less said about SWP the better.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bent's been at the Twitter again:

"Am gutted. But thank you for all your support this season."

 

[TrippyLondoner]

That's dissapointing Bent, i was expecting a rant.

Whats the odds the FA site will crash again soon.....

Almost certain I'd say.
