Second-Choice Steve

[Kahnee]

And is in no way influenced by the media, club managers or sky commentators

 

In other news, Gareth Barry's been called up to the England squad

[Stevie H]

he does like to use that line doesn't he?

 

every time i see him grinning now i think of tim robbins in the hudsucker proxy.

[Lee W]

England should walk out to 'Tragedy'.

[The Hitman]

Barry should've earned more callups,I've always rated him.

Not the quickest,but he's got a good touch,a great left-foot and a good footballing brain.

[stressederic]

Barry should never have been dropped in the first place.

[lfc003]

McClaren is a shambles, the fact he picked no left backs for the Israel game says it all.

[Crazy Horse]

Absolutely - Israeli right wingers have always posed a real threat.

[Guest Linton]

For someone who doesn't rate Sven and think he is a bit of a clown I must say that he is miles ahead of this turd McLaren. He doen't know what he is doing at all. I don't understand why a good manager like Slur Alex rates him so highly? Can anyone explain?

because he's really media-savvy, down with the technology and can occasionally talk a good game.

 

can you imagine him motivating the primadonnas in the england squad though?

[crisps]

 

''come on lads, we can beat israel''

[Bailo]

Just called up Nugent as well. Not at all influenced by the paps on that one either, oh no.

[John am Rhein]

A hearty chorus of "You don't know what you're doing!" is called for.

[floyd]

 

''come on lads, we can beat israel''

If he's apperently had dental treatment, who the f*** did those.

 

[Guest Scot]

Worst England manager ever, in a tough field.

[sean]

A complete non-entity, can never be a success in that job.

[Swagger]

[Stevie H]

mclaren is so far out of his depth the fish have got lights on their noses.

[Lee W]

McClaren = ashtray on a motorbike.

[McBain]

McClaren is his own man, and even though he was in the crowd for the Spurs Chelsea game it will be purely his decision to start Lennon behind the front two and SWP on the right

[Gilps]

Luke Young's been called up. This means another option at right back, helping keep Carra and Phil Neville free for left back. Because you wouldn't want to do something silly like play Gareth Barry there, would you Steve?

 

Leighton Baines must be pleased with the confirmation that despite being under 21 left back, he's about 7th choice for the full team anyway.

it's not that long ago that stephen warnock was in the england squad and he's been playing better than ever for blackburn.

God knows how many centre halves, right backs or holding midfielders are ahead of him in the queue. I'd fancy Downing, Richardson or even Hargreaves to be given a game there before it occured to McClaren to call up Matt Taylor or Nicky Shorey.
