I suspect Austin will go with Eddie Howe to Bormuff, so Ritchie in the Sweatie team Charlie in the England team....great.

Perhaps that is why he is not getting the nod for england - they seem to be calling up anyone that is english other than Charlie boy
To be fair is he is better than any of 4 strikers in the squad at the moment though? You could possibly make a case for Welbeck but his international record at the moment is pretty decent

Unfortunately true, Howe has long been an admirer of Charlie and will break the bank if they get promoted to try and sign him.

I was hoping Austin might get a late call up after Sturridge withdrew, but you're right, he's 5th in line at the moment.

Hameur Bouazza is currently playing for Red Star in the French "National" league (equivalent to our League 1).
I went to see him play a few weeks ago - Luçon v Red Star. Highlights of the game here:
Red Star has had a couple more ex-Swindon players in the last few years - Frédéric Darras and Philippe Cuervo, which is the reason I started following them (mind you, they've also had Tony Cascarino.....).

Today I watched Charlie Griffin, Ashan Holgate and Alex Ferguson labour to 0-0 draw away at Frome Town.
A far-more-portly-than-I-remember Michael Pook watched from the stand.

The Paris Massive is going to watch Red Star in the next few weeks. Topping the National. Hopefully meets our expectation of a proper old skool night out. Might get a bit edgy up in St Ouen.

I remember Ashan Holgate at about the age of 8 playing on the pitch week after week at half time. Looked great then and for a short time hoped he'd crack it. Maybe he would have done under someone other than Andy King...

The wife, 3 kids and I increased the Red Star contingent to 17 against Luçon......they sing occasionally in English which is another reason to support them.

Named for its communist origins - not sure why in English though. Etoile Rouge is only used to refer to the team from Belgrade.

I didn't see the same kid as you. Temperamental, never likely to grow up and actually listen to anybody who could of helped him improve.
