FA Try to Suppress Bugged England Conversation
No Comments »
After yesterday’s nice news, its a return to the norm today, as the FA have discovered that a bugged conversation between Fabio Capello and his players before England’s win against Egypt last week was offered to the press. The FA have warned the press that it would illegal for them to publish the material as it was gained via illicit means.
Of course this is the era of the internet, so I’d be pretty suprised if it doesn’t come up on the www before to long, if newspapers can’t publish what was said. I can’t imagine it’s that interesting mind.
The FA is convinced that it might give away some tactical secrets (ie “We’ll play 4-4-2 for the first half, then go back to the old formation on 45 minutes”) but knowing the fascination this country has with scandal, its probably more likely they were hoping someone would say something re JT/Bridge or uncover a whole new scandal.

Theo Walcott Reminds Us How Good He Is
Comments(3)Yeah, Theo’s performance for England vs Egypt was a little underwhelming. But based on the highlights I saw of Arsenal 3-1 Burnley, the young man still has plenty to offer the England team at World Cup 2010.
Walcott delivered some dangerous crosses from the right flank, crosses that a better striker than Nicklas Bendtner probably would have buried. But no worries, ... [read more]
Beckham Should Go to the World Cup
Comments(5)
An interesting article over at the Guardian today, which suggests that taking David Beckham to South Africa doesn’t really make any sense. The thrust of the argument is this – we have other more/similarly talented players waiting in the wings that we just can’t afford to leave at home.
The focus is ... [read more]

England’s World Cup 2010 Preparations: Training in Austria, Friendlies vs Mexico and Japan
Comments(5)
The FA has very helpfully released the timeline of England’s World Cup preparations.
Capello will name what’s expected to be a 28 man provisional squad on May 16th, for a training camp in Irdning, Austria (pictured, sort of, or at least that’s how I imagine it will look). Why Austria? I’m not 100% ... [read more]

A Rant on the Sunderland Game
I'm not quite sure if I'll get the heart to write a full report. I am thoroughly disappointed with our team, and their ability to come back after a goal. It is hard to work up your spirits again after conceding at 41 seconds, but, dear lord, this is their ...
