Steve McClaren obviously spent so long with Sven that he inhaled some of the Swedes more stupid ideas. Here we go again, square pegs in round holes - two right wingers in the squad and so he plays Gerrard on the right and leaves Lennon and Wright-Phillips on the bench.
The reason? Because Fat Frank Lumpard, who had three thousand shots in the World Cup and couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo, must be in the side. Why can't we treat Friendlies the same way as other countries do and experiment? England have played more friendlies in the history of football than any other country and we learn absolutely bugger all from them. We should be playing Lennon against Greece.
The way Fat Frank reacted to a pretty ordinary challenge from Bo Zenden on Sunday in the Community Shield suggests all is not right in his head at the moment - mind you playing in a side managed by somebody who regards themselves as the special one but who resorts to lumping it forward for John Terry to knock down for the last ten minutes in a friendly must piss you off.
Don't worry Frank, Chelsea won't win a thing this year and next year that nice Mr Lippi, who really is a special one, will be in charge.

Why is he called Fat Frank, he looks pretty fit to me...
Blimey Lucy, that was pretty quick off the mark.
It's from his days at West Ham - probably a bit of jealousy on us Hammers part - although I heard a Man U fan call him Fat as well.
He also went to public school so I guess that puts him out of favour with a large number of folk.
Talking of football I have put the details of a free fantasy league on my blog - it could be fun...
Fat Frank of the Lumpard can still look a little chubby depending upon what time of the month it is! I do so wish that he would go to specsavers because he obviously has problems seeing the goal or the defender as to whom he should aim for the deflection.
As my Mother always said, never trust a man with thin lips and FF has VERY thin lips.
Mags, I'm also slightly sceptical of men who make it public knowledge that they've had all their body hair removed.
I thought I'd learnt in physics that smoother objects create more air resistance than rough ones!
