Noble Overlooked...AGAIN!

It recent times I have heard many of my fellow West Ham fans say how our players seem to get overlooked when in comes to England national selection. The most prominent name mentioned is Mark Noble, the central midfielder has been a constant force to be reckoned with in the middle of the field; for the last few years now but his name never seems to be mentioned as a potential successor to Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard. 

With Gerrard and Lampard now retired from international duty, the national team funds itself in unfamiliar territory. 
Many players have tried to prove worthy but have not lasted long enough to have any real impact.  

Although Roy has obviously proven that he is ready to give uncapped players a chance, by picking Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph and Newcastle midfielder Jack Colback, so my question is...Are these players really more worthy than Mark Noble

In my opinion, they are not! 
Some may argue that I am bias but I find it hard to believe that Delph and Colback have been that outstanding these first couple of League games that they deserve and England call up; out of the blue over Mark Noble. 

Mark has been one of the most consistent performers for our club for years now, yet he gets no reward for his hard work! This was surely the best time to call Noble up, after the dreadful performance from England at the world cup, it's clearly a time for a change in personnel, out with the old in with new so to speak. 

I remain adamant that If Mark played for a team like Manchester United he would already have 30 odd caps by now, I mean are you telling me that a player like Tom Cleverley is a better all round player than Mark Noble? Not a chance in hell!
