Terry and Lampard out. Interesting, as most seem to blame them for our inept World Cup. With them now absent, who will be picked on as we struggle in our first two Euro 2012 qualifiers ?

[cmonurz]

No-one. With Terry out of the way we may have a defence that has a turning circle smaller than a spaceship, and with fatty boom-boom injured too our midfield might play with the freedom not afforded to it when Lampard is just running around in circles looking for one-twos with Terry and that dipshit left-back, and so we'll win both 6-0.

[cmonurz]

Upson, Carrick, Wright-Phillips, Defoe, Crouch all recalled. New startLOL.

[Zammo]

Anyone remotley interested in this ?

Can't make my mind up to either nip down the local with my 'once worn' England shirt, or watch the Inspector Lynley Mysteries on BBC1

[Row Z Royal]

Football Lynley multiscreen?

[Turns8]

This is one of those times where I wish the match was on Sky, then I wouldn't be able to watch...

[TBM]

Makes me laugh when people say they're not bothered with England.........and always make a point of telling everyone they are not going to watch it.

You dont go round telling people you're not going to watch Eastenders tonight etc, so obviously you lot do care when England play.

[Big Foot]

Will be tuning in

My XI would be 4-2-3-1

Hart

A Cole
Upson
Jagielka
Johnson

Barry
Milner

Agreed

[Y21_Royal]

England will have yet another new kit on display tonight http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11176405

[Stranded]

Shall be watching - its a competitive game after all. The fact that I have absolutely no expectation of the team is actually making the prospect more interesting.

[cmonurz]

I'll be watching for the 'new' England we've been promised. Hope to see Lennon, Johnson and Walcott all playing a part.

[willz_royal]

anyone have any betting tips?

[Row Z Royal]

anyone have any betting tips?

Yeah. Don't do it.

[Skyline]

Good luck with that one

It seems likely (radio reports this morning) that the team will be very similar to the one used in qualifiers and at the WC, with a few enforced changes, something like...

Hart

Johnson
Jagielka
Upson
Cole

Walcott
Gerrard
Barry
Milner

Rooney
Defoe

I'd be disappointed to see that team, certainly not a step forwards in sticking with the regulation 442, but more than enough to beat Bulgaria at home (esp now Berbatov has retired).

Yeah. Don't do it.

Don't think Lennon is in the squad but I will be watching in hope but not expectation, as always...

[Maguire]

Theo has started the season in rare form so he needs to play on the right. Johnson, A. can play on the left.
