England will meet France in a great international friendly on Wednesday but Fabio Capello will be missing both John Terry and Ashley Cole. Newcastle's Andy Carroll is also struggling with an injury so his presence is doubtful.
That's shocking, calling up a 28 year old mediocre Championship player...
Fabio Capello made another surprising decision by calling up Cardiff City striker Jay Bothroyd, a man that could make his debut for England at the age of 28!

The last time that happened was in 2007 when David Nugent was called up while playing in the Championship.

They have to boo me like the players." Do you think they deserve to be booed?
