Just be thankful it's Woy and not Harry.........But agree new manager was a chance to change things and bring in all the fresh young exciting players but half the fans/media are already on his back and was the same day he got the job so he's played it safe can't blame him really he has come into the job abit late to make too many radical changes with the Euro's not long away...
Kinda the last chance for many of those players (age wise) so i'd expect alot more changes after the Euro's
P.S Come on Bayern Munich on saturday

We got all the crap about making changes and last chances at the world cup, 2 years on and nothing has changed. The media are going to get at Hodgson not matter what, he's picked a team mostly made up of players that have already failed miserably on the big stage on several occasions so why not take a chance and shake things up a bit? The likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry even Rooney have been utter gash at major tournaments but they get picked anyway, it's time players started getting picked on performance instead of reputation, price tag and playing for a "top club". Grant Holt has been banging them in all season but instead the 35mil gypo thug that's been utter dog shit for 18 months is going along with a spuds bench warmer. Downing, wtf is roy still being paid by looserpool?
Oxlade chamberlain is the only bright spark unless he get the walcott world cup treatment.

I hear ya i hear ya!!Personally i can't see why he's not taken Adam johnson,Micah richards or Aaron lennon..but like say taken Glen Johnson and Stewart not scored all season bag of shite Downing!!
Another is Crouch although i don't rate him ya can't knock his international record but i spose Carrol offers that same threat...
I don't think you can really leave out Rooney or Gerrard out but Terry even being up for selection is wrong plus he's shite these days and like in the world cup will get found out..too old and too slow.
Defoe tbh isn't a bad shout although he hasn't been given the chances at spurs this season still managed to finish top scorer for us and is probably the only out and out striker England have..

How Cahill has got in before Smalling is beyond me. And I have to agree with you Poje. There shouldn't be a place in the England squad for a confirmed racist, let alone the professional game.......

Smalling is injured, along with a few other new/young guys that would surely have been in the squad. Good to see Oxlade-Chamberlain there, this time last year I was watching him seal our promotion from League One to the Championship!

Only if he actually plays Tom...Probo end up like Walcott when he went to the World cup..just sits on the bench and doesn't get used!!Pointless taking the lad if that happens but he is promising lets hope he gets a chance.
I see KING kenny is no longer!!!Such a shame he was doing so well at keeping them away from that top 4

The EPL this season was probably the best season ever...it'll take some topping!!right down to the last day for the title and for 3rd/4th and the relegation battle.
As for the last day well...Unbelievable doesn't even come close!!
Unfortunately it looks like yrs and yrs of Man city dominance with no1 getting even close in seasons to come...
