Scott Parker to captain England against the Netherlands

Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker will captain England in their friendly against the Netherlands at Wembley on Wednesday, BBC Sport understands.
More to follow.

I see Robert Green is out of contract at the end of this season with West Ham. He needs premiership experience, so if WH don't go up, then where to? Currently 2nd reserve keeper for this evening's match, I think.

Accrington Stanley perhaps Harry? -):

Skinny, Parker bit of a surprise, money on Gerard I thought.

Unlucky Dil on Sunday, thought Cardiff may have pulled it off.

Which one Stan - neither can score from the spot :-)

Yeah that's true, wonder if Pearce remembers -);

England 2 Holland 3... Pearce out!

Not Pearce's fault but that England defense is as usual a comlete shambles.....lack of direction for the team....what on earth is the point of the team changes...just put on the field the best eleven...that's it....one or two substitutions possibly....when they get the ball : I think it's more down to luck than good planning and it's always the same thing "crumbs !...I've got the ball..what on earth do I do with this ?"....oh ! I know I'll just pass it back or to the side....that'll look good".....one or two good performances but overall not that good as the Dutch hardly looked world beaters.

Only joking RF.

the greed in football is now destoying it good these footballers are over paid by 10 times there worth . in scotland they will only be 4 teams left so who are they going
to play . in the english leagues there is 37 teams on the brink .
very good news the greed is killing them .they need to diet

I've seen better footballers on the playing grounds than some in an England shirt !....

it is in the interest of ever football club to start a fund or in the end it will destoy the game they would be no one to make up a league

So far as I can tell Scottish and English football is funded by a mixture of oligarchs and the UK taxpayer, and a bit by people like me who pay to watch.

Stan, I thought your boys had it in the bag at half time (2-0)!!!

Villas-Boas sacked by Chelsea: AVB goes after just nine months
