Firstly, Martin O'Neil's surprise resignation yesterday. Steve informs us this is because the club weren't willing to give him the proceeds from the likely sale of James Milner to bolster his squad, which is plausible enough. However, of greater interest to Steve is the revelation that certain Villa players, upon hearing the news MON had gone, were texting pictures of champagne bottles being opened to each other. So assuming this is true, genuinely earth-shattering news that some of the workers don't like the boss.
Final story, Cappello. Steve refers to his friend & ours, Henry Winter, sticking the verbal boot into Fabio: "Henry's a conservative, thoughtful journalist, so this isn't like him". I think I may have spat some of my breakfast out at that point. After a bit of prompting by Mike Wedderburn, Steve elucidated with the following comment and our 'journalist, in the 3rd person, quote of the day' : "Capello has got onto the wrong side of the press, and as we know once that happens your days are numbered". So there it is in black and white, the press certainly believe they can get the England manager sacked.
You ever had the pleasure of Darren Lewis on TalkShite of a morning? The thinking man's fuckwit. I shall endeavour to write a piece about him next time I don't snooze through his early morning bollocks.
