JC goes ga-ga over radio slur

Jamie Carragher has angrily rejected suggestions that he does not have the stomach to fight for his place in the England team.
The Liverpool defender is considering his international future after growing increasingly frustrated at his lack of chances in the team.
Carragher has yet to make a definite decision on his international future, but concedes it is likely he will quit playing for England.
The 29-year-old was furious after it was suggested in an interview he was taking the easy way out and he hit back at the slur.
"Don't ever call me a bottler on radio with all those thousands of people listening," Carragher said on talkSPORT.
"I've had the stomach to fight for my place for the last eight years.
"All I can do is play as well as I can for Liverpool. I've never played that well for England because I've played a lot of the time at full-back.
"There's that many people he's [England manager Steve McClaren] played ahead of me. It's a game of opinions.
"But when you're at my age they are all younger than me, they are all going to improve and maybe I won't at my age.
"I'm 29, I've been doing it for eight years and obviously I haven't proved it enough so it's not going to change now is it?
"It's not like I've just got in the squad and I've jumped out.
"At the moment it's not 100 per cent official because I've still got to speak to the manager before the next game.
"But it's looking like that and as I said, if there was a major injury crisis and the four centre-halves who he obviously picks ahead of me are all injured and he's absolutely desperate then of course I would (come back), yeah." -
I really don't understand why is he ranked behind woodgate and ledley king?
