Kevin Davies, the new England centre forward!

How long has it taken for the collective morons ( southern bastards ) to realise that Kevin Davies is THE best English forward in the land. He has pulverised any number of 'defenders' : Mathew Upson being the best example, but not the only one. Since Owen Coyle has decided to support him, with the talents of Elmander, Lee and Holden, his wonderful talents, which we all knew existed, have been brought to others attention - the press (bastards) have now started to describe him as no longer a pub footballer ( which he never was ), but a forceful presence.

We all were aware that Emile Heskey was a joke performer, not an inch, not a millimetre close to Kevin's abilities: at the end of the day, I'm sure Kev will spend the whole experience sat on his arse as a sub.

Fantastic. Great to know that after many years he can at least say he's been in the England squad. It's the very least he deserves.

So pleased, so very pleased for him. Well done Kev!

Already seen plenty of people knocking his selection, but I'm sure the heathens will soon be swayed.

It's because he doesn't play for them. If he did he'd be hailed a hero.

In fairness, it's actually a Kettering Town fan who has been most vocal in his disapproval of SKD's selection, but I know what you mean.

I love how this has enraged certain members of the Southern press. That alone makes it all seem worthwhile.

I'm a bit torn on this anyways....

Its great for Davies and he deserves it for all the hard work he's put in.

However calling people up at 33 rarely proves fruitful, so he'll still be unlikely to get a cap and might risk him losing his Bolton focus (though I doubt it). But I can see why plenty of England fans are saying that its a bit of a waste of time calling him up now, should have been 4-5 years ago.

He deserves a chance and this is great recognition for him. But from an England point of view it really doesn't make a lot of sense in my view.

Edward Sheringham? I think he could do a job for a couple of years, cos he's not had pace since his Chesterfield days.

BTW, am I getting confused, or did he win goal of the season when he was at Southampton about 12 years ago (I seem to remember him running half the length of the field, beating six men then slotting home)?

Sheringham played for England well before his 30's though.

I've no doubt Kev can do a job but to me it doesn't make a lot of sense having a player who's never been in a squad before brought in at 33 when you're really planning for 2 years time. Davies will still be going then I hope and yes his game doesn't rely on pace but realistically what are the chances of him going? Whereas someone younger who perhaps isn't quite "ready" now might be if given the experience in a couple of years.

Why plan for 2 years time?
If we don't win our qualifying games we won't be going the championships anyway.
For me you live for today, pick your best team/squad at your disposal for each match.

Which is one way of looking at it. The other is that unless England start planning for major tournaments properly they're always going to underperform when it comes to the crunch.
