In todays paper it's an interview with Shaun Wright Phillips and that Sven told him he wasn't going to the World Cup because he hadn't played enough games HELLO he played more games than Walcott so go figure, he also said in the same interview that he speaks to Beckham alot and Beckham gives him advice sorry to say Shaun but I have the feeling Beckham had a hand in you not going to the World Cup.
Conversation went something like this imo, Beckham "Sven my old buddy you know you don't really need to take that Wright Phillips lad as I play on the right wing and you know your not going to drop me so why bother taking him ?" Sven "You are right my little friend instead I will take Lennon who nobody will ask to play and I will take Hargreaves as he still as the pics of me with that Thai ladyboy"

SWP not only didn't play much last season, but he was generally poor when he did. On the other hand, Lennon had a good season and a
very good end to the season. Beckham's value to the team can be debated, but I don't see any problem with Lennon being selected over SWP. If SWP is upset about missing the World Cup, he can blame himself for accepting Chelsea's money and a place on the bench rather than staying at City or looking for a move to Arsenal or Liverpool, who were both interested. As for "who nobody will ask to play", nonsense - there are plenty of media pundits calling for Lennon to start, either in place of Beckham or with Beckham in central midfield or at right back.
As for Hargreaves - you don't like him. He played very well against Sweden; better than about 8 or 9 of the rest of the players. But no, you came onto this thread to slate him and Crouch, and continue to do so. Well done. Very original. Why not discuss tactics, or why Ashley Cole is invisible, or why Lampard is off form, or what would be the best formation? No, let's make silly jokes about Hargreaves.
