Come anticipate Fabio Capello's two years as England manager with me

The FA were right to strip Terry of the captaincy. Capello had been desperate to get out for ages, we all know he doesn't care about the captaincy that much.

otm

they suggested this on Monday's Guardian Football Weekly podcast

p sure this was an actual resignation fwiw

Entertaining subplot - the FA will now have to negotiate with Levy, who is probably wetting himself with excitement at another opportunity to play hardman.

srsly levy has bought a silk glove and a jar of vaseline and is sitting naked in a dark room beside a gold phone

All true. Well done the FA for handing him the opportunity.

that was gonna happen this summer anyway

why anyone would want the england job i have no idea. at least at madrid it is crazy landscape + an awesome set of players you can change if you want. at england it is just crazy.

still think my suggestion of rafa is otm in that he is the funniest troll of the english press, unemployed and knows his way around cup competitions.

Was an xp about Capello, not that lovely image.

Rafa wouldn't be a bad choice. He also wouldn't give a toss about the vilification.

But I've a sneaking suspicion we might get Hodgson For England after all.

proper candidates:

Redknapp- but they're gonna hate it, and levy will force them to give us wembley or s/t

Pardew- nah

Pearce- nah

Mourinho- too soon for int'l management imo

Hiddink- too foreign

?

hodgson! One for the lfc cru.

Allardyce?

Hodgson for England would be Hodgson at Liverpool all over again. If he weren't likeable, it'd be compulsive viewing.

Hodgson and England deserve each other, this is true.

Although iirc Hodgson said from now on he would only take a job where the majority of fan opinion was favourable towards him at the start which considering the whole Arry for England thing seems unlikely.

i doubt that england fans would hate him just because capello left, tbh

But I've a sneaking suspicion we might get Hodgson For England after all.

you turned traitor you cunt?

Aw yeah, you've got to love this ain'tcha?

You cunt.

:)

just checking you hadn't gone gorman on us..

lol u guys

gone german on us?

rooney tweets redknapp

D bent presumably not

going german is fine, english on the other hand...

Rafa is amazing at knockout football, he'd probably win England the Euros.

The players taking sides already? This gets better and better.

and no deems i dont mean like Éamon de Valera in ww2 ;)

pick that out

^ knows his stuff

Marcelino for England?

daniel levy has been spotted wearing a daniel levy mask

cunts are outside his house now

owen 'never felt right' with a foreigner in charge shut your maw you little fuckless prick

trap in

rooney obviously concerned about tottenham's title challenge.
shook.

owen has still got an important goal in him iirc. The Euro's beckons.

i thought owen had retired.

The Europa League beckons, maybe.

all the habeens who had been frozen out under capello will now be tweeting they wany 'arry in hope he picks them. Wonder what Lampard will be thinking.

*hasbeens

lampard will be thinking 'my uncle'

lampard for captain then

The BBC website's been offering me Sheff Wed v Blackpool live all evening (and still is). The whole country's gone to pieces.

jamie as coach

has the boro game got to penalties yet?

lampard will be thinking 'my uncle'

Hahaha, this has been a beautiful evening.

gareth southgate has invaded roy keane's personal space one time too many in the ITV studio and has lost an arm, amazing stuff here brian

Keane reckons rooney should have shut up, kept his head down, maybe if he'd worked harder and behaved better he'd have helped his manager a bit more at the end of the day- all spat through clenched teeth as southgate scrambles around looking for ice and suturing facilities

OTM, but still disappointing because it could've been played in a way more LOL-sy way tbh

have we had any update on the whereabouts of phil brown?

during the boro/sunderland match, they had a breaking twitter update from rooney. lolitv.

owen 'never felt right' with a foreigner in charge shut your maw you little fuckless prick

Michael Owen - "Don't know if was just me but it never felt right in the first place knowing the England manager was heading off after the Euros regardless."

This sounds like it's less about where Fabio's from than where England go after the competition.
