Would you put Michael Owen in the next England squad?

I may be laying myself open to accusations of double standards here but there was a time when Kieron Dyer was booed by Newcastle fans while playing for England at St James' Park. He was booed because he refused to play on the right wing when Bobby Robson told him to in a Newcastle away game. I whole-heartedly agreed with that, as it was one of the things that got Bobby the sack and was his first appearance at SJP since it happened.

Bentley got booed as well early on last season over the U-21 "tiredness" fiasco. That was more understandable I suppose too, though if I had been there I personally wouldn't have booed.

The booing of Ashley Cole (who is largely disliked by a lot of people anyway) was for a mistake and is not acceptable. If he retires from international football I'm sure the same people will say he's walking out on his country etc. Wembley seems to be getting a pantomime crowd these days I must say. The team was booed as a whole anyway at half time. Maybe this thread is getting off topic... someone create a new one and move this in there.
