This is a sick joke, right?

I think it's time for Capello to pack his bags & leave now.

Ben Foster has now also pulled out of the squad for the friendly against Hungary tomorrow leaving us with just one keeper in Joe Hart. Rather than doing the sensible thing and calling Green back in he calls up 2 rookie keepers who haven't even played a minute of Premier league football between them.

Scott Loach has been a regular for Watford for the past 2 seasons (so if nothing else he's got some 1st team experience) & Frankie Fielding is Blackburn's reserve keeper whose ONLY 1st team experience is a handful of loan games for Wycombe, Northampton & Rochdale.

So now we're in a situation whereby our current 1st choice keeper is almost certainly going to be 2nd choice at his club, our 2nd choice has only ever played at Championship level & 3rd choice is a complete unknown! What a complete farce.

Yes, I know Green made a howler against the Americans but why is he being made the scapegoat for England's poor showing in South Africa? Where were the rest of the team who should've put that game & the Algeria game to bed to make his mistake a non entity?

The guy has completely lost the plot imo. Get rid of him now & get Martin O'Neill in before it's too late.

    The reason Robinson and Foster have walked out was because they were told they werent even going to get 45minutes of the friendly.

    Capello wants to give Hart the full game and they can't be bothered to just be called up for England to make up numbers in training.
