Bridge has quit England.

He'd been playing much better since he reurned from injury, but had a stinker yesterday. Might have had something to do with this impending announcement.

Wayne Bridge is only in the squad to start with because his reputation became unfairly promoted by playing for Chelsea.

Leighton Baines is better than him and hopefully now they'll see sense and call him up rather than going for someone like Lescott or Shorey.

Another player who is playing out of his skin at the moment but who won't be picked because his commercial personna isn't big enough is Leon Osman. He's been outstanding recently.

Bridge should never have been picked again after his total mare against Croatia a few years back

This.

I'm glad Bridge has decided not to make himself available for England, because basically he's garbage!

I assume he's going to duck out of the game on Saturday as well. If not, his timing is really strange.

Can someone set up a 50-50 between Bridge and Terry please

Exactly! Haha, TBF I don't think anyone will give s flying f-ck.

Baines in!

I'd lose a lot of respect for Bridge if he does anything. My bet is that he will shake his hand whilst looking at the floor at the weekend and that there will be nothing but professional performances from them both.

I do hope he does a Keane on him, would make for interesting TV viewing.

Apparantly the England squad voted to keep Terry in the squad following Capello's decision to ban the WAGS. They didn't want him being left at home for a month with their WAGS. It'll be interesting to see what things are like against Egypt, will the likes of Barry have an issue or just ignore it?

It's got absolutely f-ck all to do with him. There won't be a problem.

I'm glad Bridge has quit. There should be no problems within the team now. Had he gone, I think there would have been a 50/50 split in the camp. Team Terry - Team Bridge. Which would have just been typical of us.

Are you and Everton fan by any chance?

Baines is not better than Bridge at all. Don't be daft. Even Capello the other day said that Bridge and Cole are the best two English left-backs. I'd take his judgement ahead of yours

I'd rather it be de Jong as the Dutchman would cut Terry in two
