Barry named captain for England

[leighton]

Captain for England in maybe his final game as well for England. With the players of Wilshire , Parker , Gerrard , Lampard and even Huddlestone and Milner his days as a England regular are coming to an end in my view. A great story to tell his grand kids that he captain the England team.

Think he'd be a decent captain, usually the coolest player on the pitch. The only time I remember him going mad was after that ridiculous penalty decision was given against him at Fulham last season.

Good on him but he isn't captain material

Wasn't he Aston Villas captain for pretty much 11 years?

Not the first time he's captained England, may be a last hurrah for him as Capello is making about 11 changes and after seeing Wilshere + Parker in the middle and with young players coming through, he's not likely to be selected easily from now on.

I dunno mate, possibly. Still won't make me think he's any more captain material though. Hardly inspirational is he? Quiet as a mouse and doesn't particularly lead by example.

Oops! This would not seat well with the "Barry is shaite" crew. I guess following their wobbly logic, we should now make Barry captain at City too :)

Funny how dumb arguments come back to bite :P
