Bent bias!!!!!
Oh shush. Just because you'd rather we play Zamora and hoof it up to him.
Only 7 ex-Villans in the squad this time, 6 if you don't count Walker. Less than normal, but still a good amount.
I remember about 3 years ago, possibly just before Euro 2008, in the Birmingham Mail how Villa could field a full side of English players that had the potential to go on and play for England, it was really pleasing to see us actually trying to make something of homegrown talent.
It was extortionate though, if MON had signed the same sort of players but foreign we'd have saved millions!

Well, if you want a competitive side comprised mostly of British and Irish players, we're the team to go to. Out of our strongest 11, only Stan and N'Zogbia aren't. We've even overtaken Spurs in that regard (though they have a better quality squad, admittedly). At the risk of sounding like Nick Griffin, it's good to see a British club with British players.

Surprised that Steven Taylor isn't in there, especially when the defence Gary Cahill plays in has shipped 8 goals in two games.
Because he isnt as good as Cahill in all fairness

Players from teams in the North East aren't allowed in the England squad! It's too far for Mr Capello to travel.
Fair enough, but which defence has been better this season, Steven Taylor has been in top form, surely he at least deserves a chance?
