Lampard Gerrard Problem Solved (sort of)

I was wondering how and if Fabio Capello was going to address the old Lampard/Gerrard problem against Germany. But wonder no more, the problem is solved. Sort of. Because they’ve both pulled out through injury.

Scott Parker and Jimmy Bullard have been called up to replace them, but the main beneficiary will hopefully be Jermaine Jenas. I’m sick of the poor fella getting what Americans call “garbage time” (I want that introduced to English English by the way, maybe as “rubbish time”) at the end of every game, so maybe with the big boys away JJ will get to come out and play.

One other injury: Joe Hart has been forced to withdraw with an ankle injury. Paul Robinson (hooray?) has been called up instead.
