Morning! So the Capello capitulation begins. Let me give you some food for thought is it me, is it every England Manager for the past few World Cups or is it the players, the same players to blame for this state of events? Remeber Beckham? How he came around once he realised public opinion was against his tantrums and antics. Including his spat with Capello at Real Madrid that brought him back from the brink once he realsied like the other galactico's that Capello was not to be messed with. Mc Laren lambasted, Sven (agreed weak but that was a stupid FA appointment probably based on an assessment by someones wife) also couldn't do it but even I believe and continue to believe that Capello is good enough. The players to a tee agree their preparation was perfect - a 5 star hotel and facilities lol makes me laugh. Alan Shearer last night said rumours are they don't like the manager and they don't like this and disagree with that well here's the news they don't have to like it they either play his way or do one! Capello is paid to do the tactics and preparation and these players need the discipline they proved beyond doubt their own self centred attitude is more important than their pride and desire for their country. Doubt me do you? Look at their faces they were never a team and haven't been for several years, Beckham has consistently gone out there and done the business and I believe dragged them with him. Had I been Capello at half time John Terry would have been off he is the bad apple in this and as a Chelsea fan I find this at odds but he has proven he must have his way or no way. Gerrard isn't strong enough as a leader neither is Lamps or Rio. I want Capello to stay because it is the only way we can clear this shite out and start from the bottom again. There are some that should stay, Milner, Rooney, Defoe, Crouch, Dawson, Upson, Lennon, Gerrard, Green, Ashley Cole (on thin ice) but the rest need a long hard look at themselves and not blame the manager.

Finally why did he sub Defoe for Heskey? I think he was saying to all those players who constantly lauded him behind the scenes leaking it to the press that here was a guy that has never performed for England yet he's in because the players like him and he failed  - again.

The F.A. need to man up give Capello the next 2 years and leave him do his job. Oh and the press keep your nose away from the players they are spoiled kids reporting on the teacher when he tells them off.
