The line between opinion pieces and factual reporting gets ever fainter; non-story of the week is the England captaincy going back to the fit-again Rio Ferdinand. Steven Gerrard, when asked last week, had stated that if fit he expected Ferdinand would regain the armband. Very sensible, in that he was Capello's choice way back when. Henry Winter's opinion on this 'story' :

Hyperbole and bullshit naturally, but Shaun lifted the lid on Henry's motive for such a piece...

"Henry should declare an interest here, having written Gerrard's biography..." he stated with a chuckle, before adding "mind you, so should I having written Rio Ferdinand's...".

Last night's Monday Night Club on Radio Five Live discussed the same story where 'the Scottish one' (sorry I'm terrible with names) stated that after being told he wasn't going to captain the side, Gerrard "...stormed off to bed." Of even greater concern was the fact that Capello then neglected to tell Ferdinand he would be captaining the side "...until the following morning."

Nearly makes you wish Rooney would climb into bed with another prostitue...
