Meni je svejedno... Iskreno, odgovara mi ovo zbog iznosenja stavova na engleskom i eventualnog kontakta sa 'crvenima' sirom evrope...
U tom cilju:

I have to say, Eriksson will make a big mistake if he doesn't include Jamie in the first 11! Steve will definitely play midfield so I guess the starting lineup should be:
Robinson
Carragher, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole A
Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Cole J
Owen, Rooney

Defoe showed good composure this season, so I think he ought to be in the squad, but Peter will do just fine!
I can't belive that Andy Johnson made it to standby! It was definitely a surprise, but I'm delighted because of this! He's one of my favourite players, and I hope that next year he will escape the 'Championchip' and replace his blue Crystal Palace shirt with a red one!
It's to bad Robert Green won't get a chance to play, he's a great goolkeeper, and also one of my favourites...

Tomorow - FA Cup final!
