And there we were getting our hopes up.
Mark Noble has been overlooked for England once again and this time it looks as if the Hammers have had enough.
With the likes of James Milner, Theo Walcott and Adam Lallana getting into the squad, fans are right to feel aggrieved when Mark Noble has to face rejection once again. The fact that Hodgson has opted for these players suggests there is a tendency to stick to the safe option and that has angered Hammers fans.
The news hit particularly hard as many were convinced that Noble’s time had finally come, especially due to the fact that the upcoming friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands are the perfect opportunity to change things up a little.
It now looks as if Noble’s chances of getting into the England squad for the Euros is unlikely. Although it is hard to accept, Noble may have to wait for a change in management in order to finally get his England chance.
Either way, the Hammers are not best pleased with Hodgson’s latest rejection of Mark Noble and West Ham. Here’s a selection of some of the best tweets concerning Noble and England:
Who was more deserving of an England call-up?

Noble over Drinkwater, Dann over Jagielka, Deeney over Walcott. In my opinion @talkSPORTDrive Roy’s made at least 3 errors today

Whether you think Noble should be in or not, explain why West Ham are the only top 10 Prem team without a player in this England squad?

Such is the level of outrage, Mark Noble is now trending worldwide

I don’t see why WHU fans are surprised. On MOTD when he was literally asked about Noble, Roy responded by talking about Danny Drinkwater

Would have been a good time for the England manager to look at Mark Noble and Aaron Creswell. What is to be learned by picking Walcott?

As good as Drinkwater has been you have to feel for Mark Noble. He’s been overlooked for so long. #EnglandSquad

If you’re Mark Noble of @whufc_official you must be thinking what a liberty and what do I have to do. He should be in the squad for sure.

I’m sorry if you don’t think Mark Noble should of been called up to the squad today ahead of Hendo and Milner you shouldn’t watch football..

How 3 Liverpool midfielders have made the England squad and Mark Noble hasn't is beyond me! "Big" club bias.
