Heskeh called up for England

waiting for the day that an England manager abandons the belief that you NEED one big striker, and one small one.

We're so stuck in our ways it's unbelievable.

No forward and no goalie. England would be better off playing a 0-4-7-0 ffs.

People suggesting Lita and Nugent. They are rubbish partners for Owen, no? McClaren is obviously going to start with Owen.

Who else is there?

My brother worked with him, and lived near his old estate, interesting character!

He's got the same build as Heskey probably about the same goal scoring record aswell, although in fairness Lordy does have a good touch for a big man, which is where Heskey falls down unfortunately.

Heskey's problem isn't lack of talent, it's mental fragility. The higher the level of football and the higher the level of expectation, the less he is able to cope with it. So for me, good form for Wigan or not, those problems haven't gone away, and mean i would still expect him to be unable to transfer that form to the higher stage.
