Recalled to the England squad ;d England coach Steve McClaren has called Wigan forward Emile Heskey into his squad for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia.
The Wigan striker won the last of his 43 caps against France at Euro 2004 but McClaren saw the 29-year-old in action at Newcastle on Saturday. Macca really has lost it

Heskey gets called up and Lita doesn't even after him being the best striker at the recent U21's.

In all fairness, 4 years ago Heskey and owen worked well together - Heskey holding the ball up and popping it through for Owen to latch on to. Note the words, "4 years ago" though It'd be nice if this worked out, but I can't see it doing so. Nugent or Lita would probably have been a better bet...

he works well with owen, and although he doesn't score alot his general contribution is too often underestimated.

What's wrong with Jermain Defoe or Andrew Johnson, established Premiership players at good clubs.
What next? Titus Bramble? ;D

I disagree with you all, Heskey has been in fine form and deserves a call up, he also has the experience at international level unlike Lita, Defoe and Johnson, which could crucial in these vital games.

He has a habit of going missing when it matters most! I did semi-seriously tout the Heskey idea a few days ago, given our current squad's condition. As has been said, he used to be a force with Owen, and - on reflection - these games are probably too important to risk untried players at international level. My personal choice would have been Ashton, if he's fit enough (I don't think he is though...) - I guess we'll just see how this goes!

I CAN'T SEE THAT PICTURE!!!! Nor can I; I assumed it was just work's firewall blocking it, since it shows weapons (and the first two didn't show either...) It was forewarning of a missile strike; either I hit the wrong button and Venuzuela's in deep shit, or you've got about one minute to say goodbye to everyone ;D
