Shearergol Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Terry better than Ferdinand? Ferdinand is miles better, it's not even close between them imo. Better positioning, better reading of the game, more comfortable on the ball, makes less mistakes, doesn't get shown up at international level.... I'd put at that the other way round. All about opinions I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest where would you put Lescott in the scheme of things? I haven't seen Everton play this season, not even against us, but heard he's come on a treat since he's been there. I think Lescott is "best of the rest" really. On a par with King and a bit better than Woodgate but he's not injured every 5mins like those two.

Huddlestone ahead of Carrick is a strange one. Maybe Carrick has already shown what he can do?? Personally, I think he's in the 31 to let him know Capello has him on the radar but probably will be one of the half dozen cut from the squad later.

Depends on the strain. 50% is still too much mind, especially as there is no treatment and it is up to the person's immune system. 99.999999999999% a malicious rumour mind.

Guest SB Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 It's not Ebola, seems like just a reaction from vaccination (if I remember correctly, polio is drops in the mouth, not even an injection) While the rest of the continent gets feverish about the European Championship finals, England's summer will comprise two friendly matches against the United States and Trinidad & Tobago, a prospect that has made Michael Owen sick. The striker will miss both games after picking up a virus from the vaccinations he had to travel to the Caribbean. Owen did not report for international duty when Fabio Capello's squad assembled on Thursday evening - the nine players present in Moscow for the Champions League final do not arrive until today - and because of his infectious symptoms he has been told to stay away. Having had hospital tests last week, the Newcastle United striker has been advised by doctors to rest for at least a fortnight. After returning to his best form for his club in recent months - playing in a deeper role under Kevin Keegan's management, the forward scored seven goals in Newcastle's last nine fixtures of the season - Owen will be frustrated with a lost opportunity to force his way into Fabio Capello's plans. The 28-year-old has figured in only one half of football under the Italian and he was hoping to benefit from an otherwise dubious enterprise. It is understood that Owen suffered his illness from a polio injection, but whether it will prove professionally damaging is unclear. While the game against the US, which takes place at Wembley on Wednesday, and the jaunt to the West Indies the next Sunday, appear low-key, Capello has insisted on an 11-day training camp to work closely with his players. Since his appointment four months ago, the manager has not spent more than three consecutive days with his squad. Owen will have to wait until August and a friendly match against the Czech Republic to add to his tally of 89 caps and 40 goals. Given his chequered record with injuries and the severe knee ligament damage he suffered at 2006 World Cup finals, there will be relief at St James' Park that Owen faces a less strenuous close-season than originally thought. If, his health permitting, Owen's enforced spell on the sidelines allow Newcastle to speed up the laborious process of contract talks with their record signing - as The Times reported last week, contact has been made with his representatives - it will also provide a chance for others to shine ahead of the resumption of competitive football this August. As well as the usual suspects of Wayne Rooney, Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe, Capello has selected two uncapped strikers in Dean Ashton, of West Ham United, and Gabriel Agbonlahor, of Aston Villa. Theo Walcott, who travelled to Germany for the World Cup two years ago but is yet to start a senior match, has also been included after a breakthrough campaign at Arsenal. “Ahead of England's friendlies against US and Trinidad & Tobago, the England squad has seen two changes,” the FA said in a statement yesterday. “Michael Owen was unable to report due to an infectious virus and is expected to be out for both games, while Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas reported with an ankle injury and has returned home.
