Leaving in half an hour but will hopefully get back in time, come on England!!!

Neville can play the holding role in midfield so maybe his inclusion in the squad is not a complete waste (maybe), I think Lescott's inclusion is because of the height when defending and the threat when attacking. Our back four all play at centre half at club level so shouldn't be any problem with long balls and if we get our set pieces going we should have plenty to aim at.

Lescott played much of last term at left back and has pace to burn so i can see the reasoning. I read somewhere that he always played in an attacking role for the Wolves before he played in the first team and took on a more defensive role.

Also I think Lescott is the highest scorer in the Premiership out of all our squad.

I thought I was listening to 5 Live. You announced that goal easily 30 seconds before I heard the commentary on tinternet.

Had to laugh:

Russians water their plastic pitch just before kick-off in an attempt to negate the 'getting used to it' England had done ... then one of their players slips over!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

We have looked sound this half - good honest performance
