Green left blue at England snub

ROBERT GREEN cannot understand why he has slipped down the England pecking order after claiming he is in the best form of his career.

The West Ham goalkeeper was called into Steve McClaren’s squad for the summer games with Brazil and Estonia and insists he was told his “position was there to lose”.

But he was overlooked for the Euro 2008 qualifiers with Israel and Russia at Wembley in September and has again not been included for next week’s double-header with Estonia and the Russians in Moscow.
