Pub Talk - The Midweeker & Weekender meet up for a pint...

Usually they pass like ships in the night, in & out of the office on their quest for the footballing Holy Grail, but this week saw our two pundits meet over a pint of Best......

The Midweeker: Back in my day International friendlies meant something! Now every Tom, Dick n' Barry are getting a cap, what have we learnt?

The Weekender: Not much really, at the end of the day we can only take a squad of 23 players and Don Fabio should by now know his best team, so the remaining number are just along for the ride

Who's in and who's out? Will anyone make a late bid for selection? Kyle Walker ahead of Glen Johnson? Norwich's John Ruddy a late replacement as England's number one? Of course not, every England manager or any manager has their favourites, the only place up for grabs is Wayne Rooney's.

MW:Well we gotta look at the case for defence, John Terry's head ain't in the right place, the blokes a mess! Needs to pull his head from the clouds and let his feet do the talking! And don't get me started on Cahill... how many goals have Bolton shipped already this season?

WE: I actually agree with you on that one! An England player has got to be playing @ the top end of the League and in Europe against top players, but Rio's on his way out too, so who else could come in? Newcastle have been tight at the back? To be honest I think we'll fail @ Euro 2012 and the age old problem of too many foreigners in the English game will rear it's ugly head........

MW: Steven Taylor @ the Toon could be a shout, as could Danny Simpson? Spot on with the Johnny foreigner debate! If I'm honest Fab should be kicked into touch and replaced by an old school English Manager.....

WE: When will we learn though! Same excuse every time, Southgate & Brooking need to sort this out, we won't see England as European or World Champions in our lifetime, mark my words!

MW: One things for sure next summer the Irish will be having a party. Guided at the helm by a passionate Italian (unlike the English)
