[Rob1981]

Announcement at 1, presser to discuss it at 2

[Lermon]

this is a good time to Lay England.

[CaptainPlanet]

Carragher going as 2nd rightback.

[AdyTaylor]

Carragher going as 2nd rightback.

Shut up!!!!

[Rob1981]

Ruddy is apparently in as third choice keeper, Rob Green 2nd

Ruddy due to get married on day of England v Belgium friendly

[Rob1981]

Please tell me thats a joke about Carragher

If he goes that's it for me.

[James M]

If Carragher is in the squad I'll be supporting 15 other teams at the Euros

[markypoos77]

Just been confirmed Heskey is in

[Razzler]

I can't wait for 1,000 'reports' on Twitter!

[Smallen]

BBC Sport ‏ @BBCSport

CONFIRMED: Jerome Thomas has made Roy Hodgson's 23 man England squad

[H.O.V.I]

Jerome Thomas?

Bloody hell

[Philip Rolfe]

CONFIRMED: Jerome Thomas has made Roy Hodgson's 23 man England squad

Haha try again.

[CaptainPlanet]

Zamora, Heskey and Kevin Davies

[Razzler]

There is no way Carragher can be picked, you can't leave out Richards even and then pick Carragher, ffs

Zamora's not even been playing well so I assume these are all jokes.

Is he gonna pick Bent? I am guessing no or to put it another way if I put that on Twitter "it's all over Twitter: Bent it out"

He can't really do too much surprising stuff tbh, will the Ox make it? I doubt it

Guardian got a running thing

Telegraph reckons Ox is in. Apparently also Stewart Downing. :confused:

Seems to be a lot of speculation about Zamora but I haven't seen anyone claiming it's definite.

[afced7]

Carroll, Downing and Defoe in according to the Guardian.

[Razzler]

I think Downing is gonna be in, as much as we laugh at him he always seems to make these squads. He can come off the bench, I expect Ashley Young and others depending on the system may be in front of him so hopefully he doesn't see any of the pitch. Hardly the guy you throw on when chasing a goal is he

[Barry Cartman]

The same Stuart Downing who has less goals and assists this season than Tim Howard?

[Ricky Button]

Why even bother speculating, assuming, believing rumours etc? Just wait until he makes the announcement ffs.

[djvandyke]

No! John Terry is going, the thought of that mindless hooligan representing my country again it makes me sick.

Roy Hodgson; shame on you! You have lost my respect.

[Razzler]

The one and only!

I dislike him immensely but I would be amazed if he's not picked just cause everyone picks him. What it is that Managers see I have no idea but I don't see it.

[Morto]

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Man City), Scott Carson (Bursapor), John Ruddy (Norwich)

Defenders: Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Man United), John Terry (Chelsea), Joleon Lescott (Man City), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton)

Midfielders: Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Gareth Barry (Man City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Scott Parker (Tottenham), Ashley Young (Man United), James Milner (Man City)

Strikers: Wayne Rooney (Man United), Danny Welbeck (Man United), Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham)

Apparently.

[SOStriker]

Stewart Downing? I call BS otherwise I'm flipping many tables.

[Robbie S]

Rooney, Welbeck, Carroll and Defoe.

I've just realised how atrocious our forward options are :o

[Razzler]

The 3rd and 4th strikers have never been super brilliant down the years, have they?

[Kenco]

My squad would be:

Hart, Foster, Ruddy

Johnson, Richards, Cahill, Jagielka, Lescott, Jones, Cole, Baines

Gerrard, Parker, Barry, Milner, Young, Walcott, Downing, Johnson, Ox-Chamb

Carroll, Crouch, Welbeck, Rooney

[Robbie S]

Why is Carrick not even being mentioned?

[Robbie S]

The 3rd and 4th strikers have never been super brilliant down the years, have they?

One of Welbeck, Carroll or Defoe will be the 2nd choice though, and that's pretty terrible.

[Marc Albrighton]

Carrol, defoe, downing and walcott? Oh goodie.

[Barry Cartman]

The 3rd and 4th strikers have never been super brilliant down the years, have they?

Shearer, Sheringham, Owen, Fowler, Phillips, Wright

[McMaster#28]

If Carson makes it, will he be the first England player at a major tournament based outside the UK since Hargreaves?
