Bye Bye Becks!

The End of Beckham?

The new England manager Steve McLaren has named John Terry the new England captain. Oh, btw, Beckham is finally axed from the England squad to play Greece in a friendly next week. So, is this the end of the international road for the former captain? I think so.

Also, I feel Gerrard would have been a better choice for the captaincy, just because he raises his game to the next level when extra responsibilites are given to him. Anyway, good to see Dean Ashton, who has been terrific for West Ham, being given a chance to prove himself. I had hoped Kevin Nolan to be there too but there is too much competition for places in midfield right now.

The Squad...

Robinson (Tottenham), Kirkland (Liverpool), Foster (Man Utd); Bridge (Chelsea), Brown (Man Utd), Carragher (Liverpool), A Cole (Arsenal), Dawson (Tottenham), Ferdinand (ManUtd), G Neville (Man Utd), P Neville (Everton), Terry (capt, Chelsea), Young (Charlton); Downing (Middlesbrough), Gerrard (Liverpool), Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Jenas (Tottenham), Lampard (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Richardson (Man Utd), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea); Ashton (West Ham), Bent (Charlton), Crouch (Liverpool), Defoe (Tottenham).

Mclaren has insisted Lennon would provide his team with more pace and aggression and that Beckham is not in his plans, although he did not rule out calling him into his squad sometime later.

But I feel Becks' days are over considering Lennon and SWP would definitely be valued more than Beckham.
