Spurs are clearly keen as mustard when it comes to David Bentley, and have offered

With four months remaining until England’s first World Cup qualification game against Andorra, manager Fabio Capello has hinted that he’s narrowed down the search for the squad’s next captain to two names: Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand.
The Sun is reporting that Gerrard is a slight favourite to take over the captaincy on a more permanent […]

Let’s face it, a leopard can’t change its spots. There seems little point trying to remove the aggression from Wayne Rooney’s game for fear of making him half the player he is. Nevertheless, it’s clear that whenever he’s pulled on an England shirt recently, the boy has become nothing short of a liability for his […]

Fabio Capello has adopted the role of generous grandfather ahead of England’s crucial and desperately important friendly against the footballing superpower that are the United States of America. The BBC report that the Italian is going to allow the likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry the opportunity to open a whole can of ‘whup-ass’ […]

It appears that crying gets you everywhere as far as international football is concerned. Despite being involved in a number of unsavoury incidents this season (on and off the pitch), it appears that John Terry could be leading out the England team against Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday.

Perhaps it’s because Fabio Capello is relatively untouchable as England manager at the moment that elements of the media decide to stage a witch-hunt against the Chelsea manager, who is simply trying to get […]

Rio Ferdinand captained England on their latest outing, a disappointing 1-0 defeat to France. However, the Daily Telegraph report that his Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney could be the national team’s captain of the future, if Fabio Capello’s comments are anything to go by.
Much uncertainty surrounds the current England captaincy, with Steven Gerrard, Ferdinand and […]

Who would have thought it? When Fabio Capello was appointed England manager, you would have got big odds on Jermain Jenas scoring the first goal of the Italian’s reign, but that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday night. Indeed, the Tottenham midfielder more than justified his selection in the starting XI, while his club form hasn’t […]

…Or are the tabs making a mountain out of a molehill? Fabio Capello yesterday reinforced his no nonsense image after he left Michael Owen as an unused sub in yesterday’s game, this is predictably causing a wave of outrage amongst the tabs, with The Sun’s Mark Irwin claiming:
“Fabio Capello gave England’s superstars the first taste […]
