As I said when the last squad was announced - Young's absence must have something to do with his attitude and behavior off the pitch in the presence of Cappello during the friendly trips he was included in. In any case, given the toughest hurdle in their group is now cleared by some margin - if Young is out in the cold now he will probably remain so until after the 2010 WC.

Lets not get carried away. England won 4-1 against ten men. Granted they were one nil up when Croatia had a man sent off. One could hardly suppose croatia would have rolled over so easily with 11 men on the pitch.
Capello still has plenty to prove. If Englnad don't qualify do you think the media or indeed the fans will be happy because they beat Croatia?

What's the point in including Bullard earlier on, not playing him and then dropping him a month later?

But it was Croatia without Krancjar and Eduardo so they quite possibly would have. I agree that it doesn't mean Capello can start resting on his laurels though.

No Young is a joke really but obviously Capello doesn't like the chap.

Thats a bit of a silly question. Cappello took him in to have a closer look at the lad. He's done that now and has decided that there is better options than him at this moment in time.

If you brought a chick home from a nightclub and next day said your goodbyes do you think your friends would be saying "Whats the point in DEmeant0r bringing that girl home if he's not planning on seeing her again?" Of course they wouldn't, they'd say "DEmeant0r got his hole last night". And that's what Capello would say about Bullard.

Him not even getting a look in to the squad is just ridiculous and with Young being my favourite player outside the EL it's always going to make me fairly bitter towards the man.
Is that because he's got a massive schlong?

ROFL! Okay, you've said enough. Not sure how he can judge Bullard based on a couple of training sessions though...

Capello slept with Bullard? No wonder he dropped him it must have been awkward.

Absolutely shocking. How Downing is in there over Ashley Young defies logic.
