    Who would you take to the Euro’s?

    Who would you take to the Euro’s? This Wednesday Roy Hodgson announces his first (currently taking bids on whether it will be his last) England Squad.  The English wait with baited breath to see who the man the nation commonly refers to simply as “Woy” will choose to represent the mighty English at Euro 2012. Personally, I think the hype will soon turn into mass pessimism as Woy announces he’s taking more or less the same players that Fabio Capello [...]
