We get a thread like this for every England game. Fact is only Dann is good enough. Townsend needs to do more and consistantly. Ward/Wilf miles away from England.

Ward: agree Wilf: would be a useful squad player. Take on teams that put every man behind the ball [i.e. most of our games] the best way to beat them is down the flanks. He had a 5 min cameo a few years back and still got an assist. I agree he is unlikely to get picked if we play the Germans; however, imagine the returns when we take on the usual minnows in the qualifiers and we have Wilf + RB tearing FBs a new one.

England players are selected from the top clubs wherever possible, regardless of comparative ability. Is Cleverly better now than he was at United? Certainly no worse, no longer in the squad. Jack Wilshere on Arsenal's injury table is selected, not selected when in Bournemouth's team. Martin Kelly selected when at Liverpool, certainly a better player now but would never get picked. Probably never good enough for England but playing for Liverpool got him a call up. Townsend on Tottenham's bench - selected, Townsend at Palace/Newcastle - not selected. There are so many examples, it's honestly not worth being surprised that any performers at the 'smaller' sides aren't selected. Deeney, Dann, Cresswell, Noble... 26th January 2010 - Enter Administration 2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough 1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds 7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

I want to see Palace players in the England squad because I have grown so sick of international football that it is the only thing that could rekindle my interest. To suggest that our players are somehow staying under the radar because they aren't picked is utterly naive. If there is any club in this league that hasn't already extensively scouted every other club then they aren't doing their jobs properly. I would suggest that a far greater concern is players wanting to leave us if they feel they won't get international recognition here. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Don't Southgate and Zaha have 'issues' since the U21 days when Zaha was dropped at the request of Henderson?

dannyh wherever I lay my hat....... 03 Oct 16 12.49pm
Until Someone comes in and totally revamps the FA with a baseball bat and a pad of P45's nothing will change. They are nearly as bad a local councils with their faceless bureaucrats with no actual tangible qualifications or justifiable knowledge of the subject matter making decisions based on who will make the less waves as a manager. I'm also mystified as to why Wilf doesn't get a look in. every time he got the ball against Everton he beat his man, Bolaisie didn't in fact he was in Wards pocket for most of it, baring one or two crosses he was made to look very average. "It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"

Patently untrue, we are the only club to have 2 players to play for England, whilst still playing in the 3rd Division ( League 1 now ).
