Bent out of the squad

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Harry Redknapp will raid Tottenham for his backroom staff when England come calling.
The people’s choice to be the next *England boss will seek reassurances that he can bring in his own coaching team.
Redknapp, 64, wants to take Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan with him to England and safeguard their immediate futures. The Spurs boss will also move swiftly to ensure that Stuart Pearce, the *current caretaker England coach, will have a pivotal role in the future England set-up.
Redknapp sees Pearce – in charge of England this Wednesday – as a vital *component in his backroom team if the White Hart Lane boss is invited to take charge of England’s *European Championship campaign.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Rafael van der Vaart has pulled out of the Holland squad for their friendly against England on Wednesday.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, who came on as a half-time substitute in the weekend defeat to Arsenal, has an ankle injury.
The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) said in a statement that Van der Vaart had picked up the injury during the match at the Emirates.
Van der Vaart is the second player to withdraw from Bert van Marwijk's squad, after Swansea's goalkeeper Michel Vorm was sidelined with an illness.

Yeah, I think Van Persie's got one of them too.

Walcott's fine, though.

[Marc Overmars]

Bent injured.

Out for 3 months, probably the remainder of the season.

[Cripps_orig]

Heskey to get a run in the Villa first team?

Also Bent out of Euro 2012?

With Rooney out of the first 2 games, Bent was sure to play.

Who now? Heskey back? Crouch?

Fuck me England are screwed
