Hodgson names England squad

Rio Ferdinand
Roy Hodgson has named his England squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro.
As expected, there is no Saints representation in the side, although two of the club's former players do feature, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The big news from the announcement is that Rio Ferdinand is recalled to the squad, having not yet featured under Hodgson's reign.
England will travel to San Marino on Friday, March 22, before then heading to Montenegro for a testing trip on Tuesday, March 26.
England squad:
Goalkeepers: Ben Foster, Joe Hart, Fraser Forster.
Defenders: Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand , Glen Johnson, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker.
Midfielders: Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Leon Osman, Scott Parker , Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Ashley Young.
Forwards: Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Welbeck.

England would look something like this:
Fraser Forster, Chris Smalling, Rio, Michael Dawson, Kyle Walker, Scott Parker, Tom Cleverley, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck.
Saints would look like this:
Kelv, Shaw, Clyne, Stephens, Martin, Cork, JWP, Lallana, Punch, JayRod, Rickie.
We're a bit weak at the back, but I know who my money's on.

Don't worry everyone, Welbeck will do absolutely nothing as usual. Lambert would provide so much more than Welbeck, such as winning headers and his passing are a million times better than Welbeck. One day Rickie will be in it, it's too big of a crime to not happen.

I think NC should invite Woy to SMS for a friendly between his make-weight also-rans and an England-only Saints 11.
