Good to see Scott Parker play so well for England against Wales and earn praise from Fabio Capello. No England manager has ever been able to get Lampard and Gerrard to play well together and England look a much better side with Parker in a holding role and Wilshere and Lampard going forward.
A manager like Brian Clough would surely never have been caught in such a quandary - he would have selected one from Lampard and Gerrard and put the interests of the team before fielding the big egos. Hargreaves was our best option a few years ago but now Parker should be a regular (though please don't get injured against Ghana, Scotty).
And just to complete the Superman image Parker turned out at Spurs the day after his father's death. And what's more he's played superbly in a team that's been at the bottom of the league for most of the season. He's reminded me of Billy Bonds the way he just gets on with the job every week.
And further good news was Robbie Keane finding the net for Ireland…

And even our Icelandic reserve centre-back Eyjolfsson scored the winner for Iceland under-21s v England last night....
Good call! Maybe he'll get a game for us one day…
