Number one, naturally, is Wayne Bridges' decision to stand down from the England squad. What we get is a multitude of differing opinions on this in the papers who all find someone different to blame. The Guardian, naturally, takes the touchy-feely approach and expresses some regret that it's come to this. Oliver Holt in The Mirror is a man apart and blames Fabio Capello for the "circus". The Daily Star lays the blame squarely at Wayne Bridge's door, calling him a "bottler". The only man completely innocent in all this is John Terry, having done absolutely nothing wrong . Which reminds me, did anyone watch 'Green Street' on ITV4 last night? How embarrassing is that!?
Second up, Portsmouth into administration. Like a forgetful stable lad suddenly recalling that he's neglected to do up that door, the players are allegedly considering taking a pay cut. You really couldn't make this shit up (but somebody has to).
Final story from Darren concerned Roberto Mancini's "awful record" at Manchester City (or Manchester United, as Darren called them twice). Now I know a bit about City, and I know his record, though far from perfect, is at least as good as the former managers who the press believe City were wrong to sack (even though they were summoning the vote of confidence demons prior to his dismissal). I look forward to the press nodding sagely as Mancini is dismissed at the end of the season.
