What has that Italian guy got against Joe Cole, he actually played very very well the other night for LFC and is one of the most gifted talents in english football.

Good to see Wilshire, Zamora and bent called up.

couldnt agree more with you about cole ...thought he had a great game. and he seemed to put a bit of fire back in the team ..will have to see if the changes r any good

Whilshere has not started a prem game yet only substitute appearances... this just seems silly to me and gibbs has been injured for 6 months?

Believe me jack is a wonderful prospect for england, he will be one of the best players in the world when he is 27 from what I have seen of him.

But now he is very raw, but hey anything is better than them pre-Madonna's lol

100% agree with COLE posts... I wanted him to start every game at the World Cup but he did not get a sniff.

cappello is a muppet

Is this the payback for Terrys "Joe Cole should be in the team" rant at the World Cup?
