Earlier on, I was perusing the England u-21 squad for the forecoming European Championships and couldn't help noticing that there no less than THREE former Cobblers who had been selected. Not bad.

We could do well in this tournament.
Kyle Walker, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Jordan Henderson, Connor Wickham and Danny Sturridge are all future regular senior internationals. If we could have added Wilshere, Carroll, Gibbs and Richards to that (withdrawn or injured)... then wow...
Shame we're missing a class young goalkeeper really.

Don't forget Joe Hart is only 24, think we've got a bit of time before we need to worry about another keeper....

"Players are eligible for the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship if they were born on or later than 1 January 1988" Answered my own question. Joe Hart was born Apr 87.

Although the defence was the only part of the team that acquitted themselves at all well today, I think Walker was man of the match.
Hopefully the two we're bringing on loan to us this year will be playing in the U-21's in a few years time.

Kyle Walker and Chris Smalling were outstanding for England.
Javi Martinez was on another level though - I would expect some big clubs to be circling around him.

My thoughts exactly! Bit of optimism for future English football

When we had Walker on loan I said to some mates that he'd be an England player one day. Looks like I was right. (cue sense of smug self satisfaction )

Well that was short lived. What a depressing last two games of football for the summer!
