After this season, the players — especially those having long injuries — will be able to have a long rest followed by a full pre-season and hopefully be fully fit to start off next season at full speed.

No excuses, no European games, they need to be fully committed to start off completely the opposite of the start of last season.

What I would say is Spain have better players than Arteta in that position, although England don't. Jags at present is behind quite a few better players, certainly on current form. Baines is the second-best English left back and goes as cover only.

I'm looking forward to the World Cup and hope:
1/ Everton players don't get injured;
2/Moyes picks up a bargain player or two while he's out there;
3/ Gerrard gets sent off for diving / cheating; etc, etc...
and
4/ England do well.

I don't think Jagielka deserves to be picked as a matter of fact but certain players do who haven't been selected. Carragher is also a joke. The joke is on England though as he is well past his sell-by date.

I don't really care as I want England to go out as soon as possible!

Arteta should be in the Squad. It's a strange squad with an uneven balance. Do they really need that many goalkeepers and strikers?!

I agree about King, he is good and would be brilliant if he could play regularly all season instead of fits and starts but I'm glad in a way that Jags hasn't been included, same goes for Arteta because they will go and have a nice long rest to recharge the batteries and come back a lot fitter and stronger and kick on even more next season, I believe.

Carragher is perhaps the biggest example, I suspect he wouldn't get in the first team of half the Premier League teams but is rapidly becoming a hero to me for his fundamental part in the demise of LFC, I believe he's now earned the moniker "Agent Carragher" with his own goals, hapless penalties and general hopelessness.

In terms of England, hopefully he plays and gets England sunk quickly so as I can enjoy some skilled football from the proper footballing nations.

Then Capello puts in Upson and Carragher ahead of Jags — a total no-brainer, especially when Carragher snubbed his nose up at England already. There is no justice and we only have to look back at the Howard Kendall injustice many years ago to know all about that...

Sadly England will flounder anyway so better Jags & Mikel stay away and stay fit for next season. Bainesy won't get much of a look-in now that Cole is fit again.

Most players are first class idiots, none more so than the one we are begging to stay when we all know what`s going to happen, yet again he preaches God today when asked about his Everton future, the same man who drink drives and kicks fuck out of his wife...

Apart from the odd Cahill, take footy players like a pinch of salt.

Pienaar is indeed a prat, there is no two ways about it. I am in the minority who doesn't care if he goes though, to be honest.

I think Cahill coming out and saying what he has said deserves to be praised. A gentleman off the field even if he isn't on it! I would prefer Everton to not sign players like Ireland. That's just my view.

Guys, Baines has been selected initially, so it's not about us being unfashionable, just relax.

Okay, Jags has come back after being out for a while but is still a great player. How many others are in the squad who have been out or very inconsistent at club level in recent months? Walcott, Lennon, Wright-Phillips and Heskey. Capello will have no excuses when we don't make the quarter finals with this bunch.

He was desperately unlucky with his injury, but he has come back and he`s giving away goals — or actually scoring them — and you guys think he should go to the World Cup ?

Not sure if it was his fuck up when given his chance for England or the list of fuck ups as long as your arm that have cost Everton so many goals in the past couple of seasons that convinced Capello to leave him at home.

Smell the coffee guys, Jagielka has a lampost, a lighthouse, two crocks and Jamie fucken Carragher as competition and he STILL cant get in the squad.

I hate to tell you this, but Bobby Moore he ain't.

He's got so much more to offer than Martinez and Busquets, its such a shame that he doesn't get chosen for Spain because he only plays for Everton. I've no doubt if he played for one of the top La Liga clubs or even Liverpool, he'd walk into the squad.

And with his lack of comfort on the ball he's always likely at the very top level of international football to be punished. That coupled with his injury means he isn't going to the WC. Dawson has been fantastic all season for Spurs and deserves inclusion in the squad.

As for Arteta, I agree with the fella a few posts up — there is no bias in the Spanish squad there manager picks who he believes are the best players. He'd be crazy not to.

"the list of fuck ups as long as your arm that have cost Everton so many goals"

After making a statement like that please could you give us some idea of this extensive list?

In Arteta's case he is obviously not rated in Spain, as Del Bosc is the second manager to ignore the very talented Blue. In Jagielka's case, I think it's a little too soon, he is still trying to get back his fitness and form from last season, and I think a good rest will benefit him for the coming season.

Being very Everton-minded, I just hope it's to our benefit, and that, with maybe the odd addition to the squad, we really have a good go for silverware next season.

When you have so many injuries and a everyone has a bad start, your player of the season is only ever going to have to be good for half or less of the season — just look at this season.

Try to engage your brain, and take issue with the points and not the individual, certainly not this individual, he knows too much for you.

When you say we`ll have the same Jags back next season, I sincerly hope you are wrong — again. If we are going to have to endure his hoofball and his fuck ups, I want much more than that.

Apparently Capello does too.

Yes, he has been a bit iffy since he has come back from injury, but that's hardly his fault is it after having a career-threatening injury which has sidelined him for 12 months and as soon as not even half fit gets put straight back into the team? The man is class, he will be fully fit and back to his best next season.

Also regarding his non-inclusion in the England squad: I agree on the above stated that he has been injured most of the season and is still making strides to getting back to what he was, plus Dawson having a cracking season fully warrants his inclusion (but Dick Anderson suggesting he is better than Jags is way off the mark). However, I believe Capello (if thinking with this logic) has contradicted himself completely by including the yard dog that is Carragher as I cannot see for the life of me why he has been included.

As for Arteta: again if he were have played the full season and to have been consistent with his form as he has been since he came back, then I believe he definately would have had a few call ups before the squad was picked and it would have went from there. It's certainly no shame on his behalf being overlooked as I believe Spain to have the most unbelievable midfield in the world I have ever seen, however saying this (and repeating what I said above) he definitely would not have looked out of place amongst them, and if he was to be any other nationality he would walk straight into the team.

Anyway, Bainesy has been picked ahead of the Elephant Man so I'm happy with that. And in retrospect of all the above mentioned, I can't wait for the World Cup!

Heitinga is a top quality CB. None of our other CB's are in his class. Jagielka should be able to do a decent job there though.

Maybe Mikky wont get in the starting line up past Xavi and Iniesta but how he can't at least be in the squad is crazy.

As for Jags, just not had enough time to build up form after a horrible injury. This World Cup has come too soon and Dawson and King have earned their place with some outstanding games. If we are going to critcise Capello for picking Carragher based on form then sadly he can't pick Jags who at 100% I rate as better than Upson, Dawson, and Carragher.

Heitinga has everything Jagielka does but with the added ability of superb passing and vision. The difference in class between those two is vast.

2 hours ten mins in (start of conversation lead up to short song)

Quite funny and very true!

Ok, perhaps, I have a naturally strong Blue bias and an equally strong Red loathing, but come on... Carragher has had an awful season. He's a liability in the box, often giving away penalties and free-kicks outside the box. His tackling is suspect, he lacks any speed, and only knows hoofball.

Ok, our Jags is also guilty of the last trait, but for the rest, he's miles ahead of Carragher. So why Capello, WHY?

Paul Robinson has been brilliant this season, finished in the top 10 with 13 clean sheets but Capello picks Green who has just finished 17th? And Jagielka is better than Upson, Dawson and probably Carragher now, but he doesn't get in?OK, I understand Jags has just come back from a serious injury, but Ledley King... Jags can play more games than him and will be ready when called upon and not have to rest a dodgy knee!

Another point on Carragher, he turned his back on England when he was in his prime and now he's gone and had the worst season in God knows how long, making numerous errors, and Capello welcomes him back with open arms... pathetic! We don't want him, his legs have gone!

A: there was the time when Robinho skipped past him stopped on the by line, Jags got back but still lets him shoot from a ridculous angle to score.

Q: Ok, ok... Apart from then and the two own goals, when did Jags ever let us down?
A: What about at St Andrews when Birmingham scored as a direct result of the Jag's fuckaroundary on the edge of our box, that cost us two points.

Q: The St Andrews thing doesn't count, he`s been injured you know. Could you name a clanger he made when was on the top of his game?
A: Didn't he play a pass straight into the path of Ashley Young a GP last year, after we`d sweated blood to get back into the game? Imagine that was Phil Neville? Then there was the one against Pompey...

Q: OK, OK, OK... APART from the own-goal against Wigan, the own-goal against Stoke, the fuckaroundary at Birmingham, the cock-up against Pompey AND the back pass at home to Villa, AND allowing the Brazilian to score from the by line — when has Jagielka not been solid as a rock?
A: Of course he did head into his own net at the death at Villa this season, costing us another two points and ending any hope of European footy next season.

Q: Wasn't that all Hibbo's fault?

Can you imagine the abuse Hibbert would get if he was responsible for the erors I pointed out? Even when he is MotM, people can't find it in their hearts to congratulate him.

I do get pissed at the Jag's over use of the long ball, but just as I`m not blinded to his shortcomiongs I`m not blinded to his strengths either, he`s a superb defender and if he wasn't injured, he would be on his way to SA.

I just want ALL of our players to be judged the same way... Never going to happen though.
