Shorey to star for England!

[Reading_Royal]

Well done Shorey! Your future wifes not going to be happy though

[Coppell's Right Footed 11]

Sign this lad onto another new contract .

Reading no individual stars?? Sidwell off to Chelsea, Shorey in England Squad, Whole Republic of Ireland side..

How wrong all the pundits were

[amdocsroyal]

I thought Shorey and Bentley where the two stand out wing players, he certainly can't have hurt his chances in anyway and if that really is the first time mclaren has seen him play my guess would be they improved slightly.

From BBC Sport.
"Reading's Nicky Shorey and David Bentley of Blackburn are also included in the 26-man squad. "

Never thought we would see this......

Full England squad to face Brazil and Estonia:

Goalkeepers: Robinson (Tottenham), Carson (Liverpool), Green (West Ham).

Defenders: P Neville (Everton), R Ferdinand (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea), Bridge (Chelsea), Brown (Man Utd), Carragher (Liverpool), Dawson (Tottenham), King (Tottenham), Shorey (Reading).

Midfielders: Beckham (Real Madrid), Gerrard (Liverpool), Jenas (Tottenham), J Cole (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Bentley (Blackburn), Carrick (Man Utd), Lampard (Chelsea), Downing (Middlesbrough), Dyer (Newcastle).

Forwards: Crouch (Liverpool), Owen (Newcastle), Smith (Man Utd), Defoe (Tottenham).

not a bad squad apart from Neville, Brown, Jenas, Dyer, Crouch, Smith and Defoe... and you can forgive a few of them as well I suppose.

What does Jenas do to keep getting picked?

Congrats to Shorey. Glad Beckham is back.

[Royalee]

Congratulations Nicky and well deserved.

Best news I've heard all week. Brilliant, well done Nicky you deserve it.

Heard it on the radio but seeing it written down like this is amazing.

I guess we'll have to change his song now. "England's Number 3" perhaps?

The more pressing question is what name goes into "..... for England" now? It works like a charm. How about Halford? England are woefully weak at RB.

[Y25]

So glad I got tickets for next Friday

Going down JJB later to get Y25 junior the new shirt with SHOREY on the back!!!

[AthleticoSpizz]

For those that are interested

apparently, England have a "C" team (the non-league step-down from our B team)

England won the FOUR NATIONS TOURNAMENT.....including a certain Paul Brayson


Neil Smith is now player/manager of Welling

Ricky Newman has got another 1 year deal with Aldershot

Stuart Beavon (ex- Didcot and currently Weymouth.......and slagged off by many on hna) looks like getting snapped up by Exeter....a good step forward

and once upon a time (back in 2002) I predicted Shorey would play for England


....just didn't think that he would be a Reading player at the time
