Shock shock horror horror
Poor old Fabio Capello.
Six million quid a year apparently isn’t enough to persuade the England manager to make a choice between Gerrard and Lampard. In fact, on the basis of last nights game, it’s not enough to inspire him with any original thought at all. Things he may have learned from our 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic:
- That Frank Lampard can’t replicate his Chelsea form in an England shirt.
- That David Beckham, while still capable of delivering a mean set piece, has all the pace and movement of a geriatric tortoise.
- That Stephen Gerrard isn’t a left winger.
- That Wayne Rooney wanders around the pitch too much.
- That the likes of Wes Brown and Jermaine Defoe simply don’t cut it at international level.
So it’s lucky we had the game really, because I don’t think anyone’s ever noticed any of those things before, ever.
In other unsurprising news, over in the village of the damned Mssrs Baldwin and Fallon clearly, without any doubt, proved Craig Popes innocence of any racial slurs by, er, offering no new evidence at all at last nights fans forum.
Baldwin managed to remove his head from a large bucket of sand just long enough to trot out his usual rhetoric:
“The feeling of everyone at the fans' forum was that having reviewed the evidence and watched the video we would all get behind Craig to try and show our support,” he whined, neglecting to mention that the barrister he hired twice failed to get his player off despite this overwhelming evidence in their favour.
Also it seems that, quelle surprise, Pope’s self-imposed retirement may not be permanent, and he may return to the ‘Stutes squad as soon as his four game ban is up. Much like England’s poor performance, I don’t think anyone saw that coming, no siree.
Meanwhile, the shock news of Norman Gautrey’s imminent resignation cannot be a good thing. While I’ve never dealt with the guy directly, no one seems to have a bad word to say about him, and when he leaves you have to wonder who will be steering the ship, with none of the current directors being based at the stadium full time. It should be an interesting fans forum tonight, that’s for sure…
