Sky Sports: "Jamie Carragher has revealed Liverpool's failure to qualify for the Champions League persuaded him to come out of international retirement."

Fair play to the lad.

I assume based on this comment he will be available for the Euro 2012 qualifiers then?

I would guess so mate yeh. Can't see him jacking it in when he returns, if he gets on the plane to South Africa.

Why would you assume that ?

Maybe he just wants to play in the world cup.

i'm guessing that scs is making a joke about the fact that we might not be in the CL in 2012 either...

Scholes is England's most talented midfielder in a genaration but he is passed it now. Better off without him.

Carra can do a job, you know what you get. I don't see many other options.

it doesn't matter now anyway, Scholes has said no

I am still suspicious of the timing of Scholes retiring and announcing a new contract at scum, maybe a clause or out of contract agreement he plays for England no more.

As for Carra, brave decision as all the knives, guns, bombs etc are out for him. Scholes retires because he wants to win things and wasn't going to with England, Carra quit playing for England because he was always one or two places down the pecking order no matter how much the pecking order was decimated, and yet he's not criticised despite his absence/presence being arguably far more important.

Or put another way, Scholes is like the kid who walks off with his football/bat and ball etc because he wasn't winning. Then again half the country will slate any Liverpool player for any reason, being in the England side just gives them more chance. It is rather ironic we should have a pants season and have three current players in contention to go to the World Cup and several ex-players. You can bet West Ham fans would have totted their's up and be quoting it! There is a lot of debate about individual and groups of inclusions, but the bottom line is unless we left out players like Rooney, Gerrard or Terry then there aren't any other real 'must picks'. Most will argue ad nauseam whether Lennon is way better than Walcott/Young/Milner/Cole/Johnson etc, but the bottom line is if any were 'must picks' then there wouldn't be any debate now would there? ie we'd all be agreeing not arguing

I wasn't actually, but it's a good one nevertheless.

My point was the qualifiers for the 2012 Euros start later this year, with no CL to play in Carragher may choose to continue with England. Especially as his fixture total at club level will be reduced due to lack of CL.

But we are in the europa league, as long as we dont get beat in the qualifiers like
