DAWSON

looks like he might get a late call up back to the england squad, ferdinand is injured and having a scan on his knee after the first training session. dont book your hols yet michael.

Heskey knobbled Rio in a training match ... Gerrard now captain

Drogba out too ......fractured arm

This is Arnie Ardiles ... Sun City , South Africa ....

ty arnie, thats not good news if rio is out.

shouldve taken Theo istead of Heskey , then it be all okay for Rio , burger

I don't agree there Burger. (Surprise surprise!!)

Ferdinand has been a long term injury problem and, when he has played, has looked decidedly ropey.

Now all they have to do is nobble Terry and then King & Dawson resume the Premierships best defensive partnership with Capello breathing a sigh of relief at his good fortune in losing rubber lips.

And Terry n Ledders dont get on Ion ... Dawson and Ledders for me too ...Terry on the bench ..... COYS .... I mean England

im waiting for the day u do agree with me ion lol, i have no problem with dawson and have always rated king, but at international level at a world cup, im not sure, dawson reminds me very much of a young tony adams, and im sure i no need to tell u how is international career started, clever forwards made him look silly, i fear the same could happen to dawson, and ledley cant do the whole tournament, so i disagree with u on this one and i dont like the idea of england going in with that pair, but giving it a moments thut i suppose a clubs pairing does make sense in alot of ways, but if rio dont make it and terry gets cropped i think carragher will get involved first.

Carragher (shudder), Heaven forfend! He was shoite when he was younger and has steadily got worse.

I'd choose Upson ahead of him and Upson, on his best day, will never make a top International.

Where do you goons keep that dodgy Lasagne?

cappello has made a phone call to carragher persuading him to come out of retirement, JC was very vocal at the time about it and his lack of game time and all, im sure this would of came up in the conversation, and i dont think for 1 min that cappello would bow down, i just things like that will give JC the edge over others, abilty wise i agree i would prefer upson. cappello tryed to get scholes out there too and that one would of made more sense imo.

Kings only played half a season. Our first game is on a sat, then the following friday and i think then weds after, plenty of recovery time, then its another 5 days befoe the next game.

More Spurs players at the World Cup and for England, luv it !!!
