Young pretender

HE might have missed out on a call-up this time around, but it seems Ashley Young is very much on Fabio Capello's mind.

Not only has the England boss sent the Villa flyer a letter informing him that he is in contention for Three Lions selection.

Capello also continually referred to Ashley Cole as Ashley Young during a post-match interview following the Kazakhstan qualifier.

No, Fabio, when Young creates goals with impeccable balls from near the touchline, it's usually his own team that benefits, not the opposition.

And you might want to remember that next time you pick an England squad without a proven left-winger.
