I rate Baines if everyone remembers before the World Cup I said he should go, I think everyone was in agreement on that too, but two bad appearances and the worry within the camp that Baines complained about being homesick cost him his place & probably England career.
Internationals Topic
He started off bad for everton after his move from wigan
so it might be a mental thing where he needs a few games and a bedding in period into the squad
and right now would of been best for him instead of just before a world cup
He had a very good u21 career hes good going foward.... offers a much better left footed set piece option then gareth barry

Walcott equals 99-year-old record
David Barber
Thursday, 12 August, 2010
England can’t stop winning with Theo Walcott in the team.
Arsenal’s flying winger Theo Walcott, now 21, has now featured in 12 England matches…and England have won all 12.
He became his country’s youngest player at 17 years 75 days when making his debut as a substitute for Michael Owen in an Old Trafford friendly against Hungary in 2006, a match that England won 3-1.
England’s results in the eleven internationals in which Walcott has played since then have been: 3-0 v Trinidad & Tobago (away), 2-0 v Andorra (away), 4-1 v Croatia (away), 5-1 v Kazakhstan (home), 3-1 v Belarus (away), 4-0 v Kazakhstan (away), 6-0 v Andorra (home), 3-1 v Egypt (home), 3-1 v Mexico (home), 2-1 v Japan (in Austria) and 2-1 v Hungary (home).
Last night at Wembley he equalled a record that had stood for nearly a century. Derby County half-back Ben Warren won 12 consecutive matches with England between 1908 and 1911. England’s results in a different age were even more spectacular: 6-1 v Austria, 11-1 v Austria, 7-0 v Hungary and 4-0 v Bohemia (all away), 4-0 v Ireland, 2-0 v Wales and 2-0 v Scotland (all at home), 4-2 v Hungary, 8-2 v England and 8-1 v Austria (all away), 2-1 v Ireland and 3-0 v Wales (both at home).
They weren’t the first 12 appearances made by Warren, a player described as ‘a touch slow but brave, splendid in ball control and crisp in tackling’. Certainly no-one would suggest that Walcott was ‘a touch slow’...

Might of been better if they never mentioned those 12 teams.

He was crap for Everton for ages too. He's about 5'6, gets caught out positionally, he's not particulaly quick or aggressive. I just don't see what he does except put a decent cross in now and again. He's never England class.
Gibbs 45 minutes>Baines England career.
