Hansen mystified with benefit of Wilshere U-21 call up

Daily Telegraph columnist and BBC Match of the Day pundit Alan Hansen believes there is no benefit for Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere or Liverpool’s Andy Carroll being called up to the U-21 European Championships this summer. Jack Wilshere has become a mainstay in the senior side under Fabio Capello after flourishing this campaign becoming one of Arsene Wenger’s first names on the team sheet.  While Andy Carroll made a British transfer record move of £35 million from Newcastle United after a great start to the season scoring 11 league goals for the Geordies.

Charlton keeper signed up for Dartford trip

Lewes manager Tim O’Shea has secured the services of Charlton keeper Conor Gough for Saturday’s game at Dartford.

Rooks No 1 Chris Winterton serves a one match suspension after his red card at Chelmsford, and with no obvious replacement, O’Shea has arranged for the second year pro to play at Princes Park.

The game kicks off at 1pm and the Wales v England international will be shown in the bar after the game.

 If you’ve not been to an away game this season, then try this one.

Worthington seeks gritty display

 

BOA duo banned from LOCOG meetings
India through despite Ponting ton
Rashid called up by England
Robinson praise for Yardy
Lewsey answers Wasps SOS
Ramsey named Wales captain
Mackail-Smith gets Scotland call
Coleman pulls out of Republic squad
Barry expects Wilshere to start

Northern Ireland boss Nigel Worthington has told his side they must “get stuck in” against Serbia on Friday night to avoid being outplayed.

Despite going into the Euro 2012 Group C qualifier ahead of their opponents in the standings and with a game in hand, Worthington accepts Serbia have the personnel to win handsomely if his men allow them to play.

“We have got to look to get a good start right from kick-off, go and get stuck into them like we have done to teams in the past when we have got results against quality teams,” Worthington said.

“You can name the games – Sweden away, Czech Republic home and away, Poland at home and away, Denmark at home, Slovenia away.

“They are the ones for me that are typical Nigel Worthington performances – hard working, fit for 90 minutes, give nothing up.

“That’s how I want us to play all the time.
