Why the sniping over inclusion of Wilshere and Gibbs?

I’LL be honest: the inclusion of three Arsenal players in Fabio Capello’s squad makes me far more inclined to watch my national team. Fickle maybe, but truthful.

Sadly, certain people who you’d think would welcome Arsenal finally contributing to England have found something new to moan about.

Bemoaning the lack of regular Premier League and Champions League football played by the likes of Gibbs and Wilshere, Alan Shearer says:

“It is the age-old problem of foreign imports taking priority over home-grown talent and I cannot see it changing because the pressure on managers to deliver instant success is greater than ever.”

Jack Wilshere is only 18. He first played Premier League football and Champions Leaugue football at 16. He played almost an entire second half of the season for Bolton in the Premier League last season, signing four weeks after turning 18. Ok, so Rooney and Fabregas started a year earlier, but hardly a late starter.

Kieran Gibbs is 21 next month but actually his football career stalled nine months ago when a frustrated Standard Liege player kicked him out of the season. When he resumes it he will fight it out for the left back berth with current France international Gael Clichy. Quite a few people think that within a year he will have won that fight and will be the Arsenal left-back.

What is there to argue about?

Commenting coincidentally after seeing four of his own players dropped from the squad, Harry Redknapp said: “It’s unusual that players not in their club’s team are in the England squad.

“‘Wilshere is a good prospect but I thought England were supposed to be better than than any club side. Maybe Arsenal are better than England.”

One of those was Peter Crouch. He was fit to play apart in every one of Tottenham’s 38 league games last season. He started just 21 of them.

Nice one Arry.

   Lift every voice and singTill earth and heaven ring,Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;Let our rejoicing riseHigh as the listening skies,Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.Sing a song full of the hope that the present has bought us.Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,Let us march on till victory is won. – James Weldon Johnson

   This is some helpful material. It took me a while to locate this web site but it was worth the time. I noticed this page was hidden in bing and not the number one spot. This web page has a ton of first-class material and it does not deserve to be burried in the search engines like that. By the way I am going to save this site to my list of favorites.
