Rio moaning C**T ....Grow up your worse than a little kid except it your not going to euro,s gives you more time to play with fergie

[TANGODANCER]

Can't seem to accept it's all based on being good enough and not just on wearing a United shirt. Never been able to stand him since he started telling the world how he was worth more wages than every player on the planet.

Not too sure about that, Tango. If he's been left out because Hodgson thinks that he's not a better option than Terry, Cahill, Lescott or even Jagielka, then that's fair enough.

But when there's a choice between him and yon Kelly lad, who's experienced two minutes of international football and played no more than a dozen matches for Liverpool the season just gone, it baffles to not select him for 'football reasons'.

Have you thought that Hodgson is finally doing what England fans have been clamouring and phasing out the failed old guard? Ferdinand is finished. Only fit half the time and has lost some pace.

Roy is doing what needs to be done, give younger players tournament experience.

Picking Ferdinand would just be repeating old mistakes. Build for the future. Who knows next Euros we might even have half a chance!

I've never rated Ferdinand like some. Solid enough meeting the ball, but passes square and backwards too much for me. Can't get shut of the ball quick enough when somebody presses him. His attitude always irks because he's a "do you know who I am?" type,and he's nobody in my eyes. Give me a young trier any time. Hodgson couldn't have foreseen Cahill's bad luck in the first place. That's the real bugbear now. Cahill himself is a comparative newcomer to international level football and he got his chance, so should others.

Except for when we've brought Peter Crouch on, at which point the entire midfield may as well nip for a piss.

Also, I'm inclined to agree with BWFCI regarding the younger players. I'd like to see them given this tournament as a launchpad for the next World Cup, especially after the global embarrassment of two years ago.

[Relentless09]

Not from England but will be supporting the English and the Dutch. I agree England need rid of the old guard but when injuries strike your top players I don't feel you can chose a player with few international caps and not even a regular premier league starter over a player who's had 80+ caps, world cup/euro's experience, regular in a top English side and won all major competitions with them. It's non logical, Ribery bombing down the wing against Kelly doesn't fill me full of confidence

It's not Roy's fault that we don't have a sterling crop of younger players. You work with what you've got.

[Athers]

I think Ferdinand has been a Rolls Royce of a player for a decade, but there you go.

[H. Pedersen]

I prefer Rio's attitude to Carrick's or Foster's.

Did you read what I'd put?

[Ianmooreslovechild]

Ferdinand isnt fit to play a concentrated set of games and maybe just maybe there is the question of his gobbiness unsettling the camp. Not sure how him and Terry get on these days.Hodgson seems to be valuing a settled happy camp in some of these choices and given that our only hope is organisation and spirit I think he's doing pretty well.
Mind you losing Cahill is a big loss, cant really play from the back. I can see the approach being pretty close to that employed by a certain fat sam some time ago.Be compact and competitive, play for set pieces and go long flooding with midfielders to support the big lad up top.Losing Cahill may well push us toward having Carroll as a starter now .

Yes, I wasnt disagreeing, probably shouldn't have quoted the post. Was just adding it in there......

Time to call up the real old guard from Bolton

[Harry Genshaw]

On the eve of a tournament our former captain is stirring up trouble in the camp by moaning about his exclusion. Despicable and comfirms he was always the tw*t I knew he was.

According to Jason Roberts it's because Rio is black, well, he's not got the sack to openly say it but he's hinting at that. Does he ever fecking stop?!

Dear Jason

We know you're black, but ffs pack it in, you are not Reverend Al Sharpton.....and judging by your TV appearances, you'd have got nowherer near those MOTD sofa's if you were white.

Yeah, I'm eagerly awaiting Roy, when asked the question "Why no Rio?", to reach under the table and don his Klansman's hood. Looks the sort to me.
