Fabio Capello

Fabio Capello – distinguished football manager (and former Italian international), having won many league and cup titles, including Serie A, La Liga and the Champions League. Fabio Capello has a reputation for being totalitarian in training and for shunning ‘pretty football’ for the sake of results. He also has one of the most impressive art collections in Italy. He currently manages the England national team (Fabio Capello profile).

Capello Criticism Unfair

It seems everyone is happy to throw a punch at England manager Fabio Capello. The Sun pictures Capello with donkey ears and brands him a “jackass”. What is his crime? Not selecting two players with great potential – and yet so little experience. Surely Jack Wilshere and Andy Carole’s exclusion is not a crime worthy…

The Sun Reach A New Low In Football Journalism

When you think about, and I mean really think about it, I mean take in everyone you come across on a day-to-day basis, an overwhelming number of British human beings are fucking morons – and it is these thick-necked meatheads, whether by accident or design, that make up roughly all of The Sun‘s target audience….

The Super Injunction: Blackpool Wins? Pepe’s Howler And The Latest Super Injunction

Blackpool Defeat Wigan, 4-0.

Tangerine. Tangerine. Living Reflection from a Dream. Pretty much every single pundit and commentator had Blackpool’s Premier League stay pegged as a very short one. Almost everyone picked them to finish last and be relegated back to the Championship. In fact, before the start of the season, Racingbase had their odds of going down at…

David Beckham – We salute you

David Beckham – We salute you

David Beckham’s turbulent sixteen year career at international level looks all but over. Fabio Capello has deemed the former Manchester United and Real Madrid man as “too old” and will no longer be seeking his services as he begins to groom younger talent into his England set-up. The manner of Capello’s revelation is somewhat ignorant…

Club or Country

Club or Country

With the World Cup well and truly gone but not forgotten on England’s behalf, is the honor of playing for one’s country losing its value? Fabio Capello named his squad for Wednesday’s friendly against Hungary on Saturday night and since then has been embarrassed only to be rejected by two of England’s fringe players.   Paul Robinson…

England’s next generation

On August 11th, England will face Hungary in the first match since crashing out of the World Cup against Germany. The failings of the team, the problems with the formation and the managerial situation has been talked to death since the country’s exit but for the team to move forward there must be a line…

South Africa 2010 Was Officially England’s Worst World Cup Ever

South Africa 2010 Was Officially England’s Worst World Cup Ever

FIFA have done the decent thing and finally confirmed what we have all known to be true for some time (about 16 days in fact), by rubber-stamping England’s woebegone showing in South Africa as the Three Lions’ worst performance at a World Cup finals since the tournament began in 1930. The post-tournament rankings saw England…

Fabio Capello Will Continue As England Manager

The FA have confirmed that Fabio Capello will continue as the manager of England, despite his side’s woeful showing at this summer’s World Cup. The decision was made at a meeting held by the Club England board (which includes the likes of the FA’s head of media Adrian Bevington and director of Football Development Sir…

What’s the point in sacking Capello?

England’s loss to Germany in the last 16 of the World Cup has sparked another predictable round of tabloid inquisition and calls for Fabio Capello to lose his job.
