Weeeeeeee, bring it on :-)

OK guys I'd just like to say one or two things at this stage.

Firstly, many thanks for all your kind words regarding my wish to stand for the England Captaincy.

I do however feel a bit bad about this as I think it may have put off anyone else from applying for this coveted honour.

But if this is the case then I would ask anyone else wishing to put their names forward to do so; there may well be people in our squad who don't want me as captain but at the moment have nobody else to vote for.

Last year's captain was in the unfortunate position of gaining the captaincy 'by default' as it were and this left him open to some flak from other team members if they disagreed with his decisions etc.

So it is in the best interest of democracy, and I believe the solidarity of the England squad, that the captaincy should go to the vote.

I would just like to add that I'm delighted to see some new names down for next year's WoF, some of whom are well known, highly skilled avatars who could help England do even better than last year!

If they don't have the bottle to stand against you they don't have what it takes to be Captain of the team!

By all means, but they will lose.

Last years Captain thought himself bigger than the team. It wasn't by default he became Captain, it was a pure fault of non democratic means.

He arrogantly held on to the position despite attending less of the matches than Kev, and when he finally decided to put it to the vote in the belief that he would cruise it, and started making a big deal about it because he was acting all Captain like, he soon stfu when the actual voting started to look bad for him.

And of course the Captain will get some flak now and then, but at the end of the day even the most vocal of the team members (that would probably be me ) gave 100% to the TEAM and did what the team did regardless of personal opinion or differences.

And the nominees are: Kev and Oracle
