And now for the serious business
After a convincing victory over a wholly unconvincing Greece, Big Mac is to pick his first squad for a proper competitive qualifier. Although being optimistic Andorra shouldn't be all that competitive and, no disrespect meant, btu England will have to tackle bigger and better teams than Macedonia too.
So who's going to be in? Gary Neville is ruled out. Carrick will almost certainly be in porbably at the expense of 52 cap Phil Neville. I hope Jermaine Pennant gets in the squad and also Scott Parker. As for the striker to replace the injured Dean Ashton? Hmmmmm...may well be Andy Johnson perhaps his Everton tema-mate James Beattie? Marlon Harewood has been mentioned. Darius Vassell? The cupboard's a bit bare. To be honest none of those fill me with much excitement. Go on the Johnson at a pinch behind Crouch, Defoe and Bent.
