This was on the cards from the moment the media decided THEY wanted Scott Parker as captain, then of course the media's lapdog Harry "Rosie" Redknapp crowed "good old Scotty, goes to bed early, loves his family, and he watches Antiques Roadshow on a Sunday night."
The British press run the England set up, because the FA is nothing but a circus full of men in suits who quite frankly have the back-bone of a jellyfish!
In a way, I am glad Stevie isnt the captain, because when England fail again, which they will, the press and the fickle Southern idiots will turn on that brave boy Parker. However....I do think that picking a player who is the same age as Gerrard, but only has 10 caps since 2003, is a bit of a slap in the face for Stevie, and for that reason alone he should tell them to shove the whole thing up their arses.
My own personal view, and I believe the view of many of us on here; who actually gives a fook about England? Its full of egotistical pricks with huge bank balances who firmly believe they are world class players, when they clearly arent.
I support Liverpool Football Club, and nobody else.
