Chelsea man weeps his way into Capello’s heart

Everyone has been bleating and blathering about how it took courage for Terry to stand up and take the dreaded fifth penalty in the Champions League final. What bottle, they weep, moved by his bravery. And yet, have they forgotten what actually happened? The guy missed it. It was a BAD decision to take it.

But it’s amazing what a few tears can achieve

The serial blogger may have got the maths slightly wrong

David Beckham took time out of his intensive training schedule yesterday to post a blog on his official website:

I am sure you will have read a lot of Mr Capello’s call to leave me out of the squad but in truth I admire him as a manager and respect his decision. In his explanation, he said that it was purely down to match fitness and that it was unfair to the other players, competing week in and week out for their clubs, to include me in the squad.

A lot has been made of my trips to Sierra Leone and Brazil but these were only a total of four days in six weeks. I postponed my holidays to spend five days a week training with Arsenal and I did everything possible make myself available for England.

It’s ‘more than just a football shit’

Footballers who don’t hate worthy causes manage to attend

Last night’s huge Cystic Fibrosis charity event at the Dorchester Hotel brought out plenty of stars from the world of football including John Terry, Peter Crouch, Emmanuel Adebayor, William Gallas, Gael Clichy, SWP, Wayne Bridge, David Dein, Arsene Wenger and Alan Sugar.

So where was Beckham? In the end

He’s been out promoting the brand

The breaking news is that David Beckham will not be earning his 100th England cap against Switzerland next week, despite insisting that he is ‘fit and sharp […] and ready to be selected’.

Capello obviously doesn’t share this view
