Carlton Cole for England - you heard it here first...ish.

I don't know who first suggested it.
It's one of those things that everyone is now claiming, but if you scroll down the page you will see that i said Carlton Cole was a serious contender for an England cap as far bnack as January the 11th.
I also said that you might end up in trouble for suggesting something so ridiculous but it just goes to show you how strange football is.Carlton 'the goal' Cole now looks set for AN ENGLAND START on Wednesday in Spain.
An injury to Emile Heskey might force Capello's hand.
And to be honest it would be nothing more than Cole deserves.Here is a player who shows what can be achieved with effort.
New focus and extra training have really paid off for Cole who gave Nemanja Vidic a real tough time yesterday - so much so that Vidic resorted to hauling him down at one point having been beaten for strength, skill and pace.
Good luck Carlton, nice to see West Ham with three players in the squad. Anyone seen a Spurs player in there??
