What a load of s**t, Walcott has never played a premiership game, so we are taking 4 strikers, two which are in jured and are never going to be match fit, Walcott who has no experience and that muppet Crouch.

Hargreaves, what has he ever done for England, he is a waste of space, Jenas, not a bad player but their is no need for him in the squad as their are other players who are ahead of him, his place could be taken by another striker, Defoe.

Good decision to leave SWP out though, he has had an awfull season and should have never left City, all he was intrested in was the money and has now ruined his careear.

Also good to see Lennon in there I know he hasn't got any internatinal expereince but he has had a great season for Spurs and at least he has played games (unlike Walcott).

"Just one more game, I promise"

I'm suprised Darren Bent isn't there. I'd have left Walcott out because he isn't ready for something this big (i mean he hasn't even played a premiership game for Arsenal yet) i'd have included Bent for Walcott, Bent is more deserving of it.

i have no problems with the squad apart from Walcott, as you have all said...what the hell is he playing in the world cup when he hasnt even played for Arsenal yet...thats madness,he is relying to much on the youth, i just dont think Theo Walcott is ready for a England Shirt yet...

no as he spent the last half of the season on loan at Fulham.

I guess not seeing players on the field makes no difference though to Sven, look at Walcott, Sven has only seen him in training and thought "great!". Without hammering the kids ability too much at this time I've not really seen much of him to judge whether he is an international class player.

Rubbish World Cup Rules?

For all men (as if we're gonna listen!)

1. I will not wear a stupid hat, paint my face, the dog, the car or house

2. I will not carry you home from the pub unless you have broken a bone. You got yourself in that state deal with it.

3. I will not chant C'mon england in the bedroom.

4. In no way will i miss Lost on a Tuesday night. No matter what game. You will find somewhere else to watch it.

5. I am allowed to comment on how fit a foreign player is or how sexy becks is without a jealous remark from you. at least i will be taking an interest

6. I will watch a game with you as the long a you keep the OH, C'mon son, i could do that blindfolded!! to a sensible level

7. If you want a house full of mates with me keeping you supplied with beer and snacks i am allowed to flirt with your really hot friend.

8. In return for my silence during games My mum can come over more often

9. If i get ill during the World cup i will not hassle you with it in return for you never ever moaning about a man cold again

10. Finally if you want my love, support, silence etc i suggest you take me out before the world cup thingy starts and buy me something nice i.e a pink diamond.

29 minutes of football isnt very promising though is it DC, he could be quite "rusty" after being out for so long, even playing a B international wont get him upto speed immediately, and then there is the risk of him or any of the others picking up an injury and then missing the WC......

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
