Capello didn't understand the meaning of 'permanent' Apparently Capello used the word "permanent" out of term. Terry will be captain for only one game. According to ESPN anyway..

Indeed. Until we lose a game, then you can f*ck off.

Brill article! You'd be a great asset for this site :eyebrows:

Next person to mention reps gets a touchline ban

Your team might be full. I think there's a limit of 20 players max, so if you want some youth you'll have to sack some players. Selling rarely occurs from what I hear, unless you get lucky.

Interesting.. Benayoun selected for Israel qualifiers Hope he doesn't do an Essien and get injured while with them!

Doubt it. I reckon Carlo would opt for Zhirkov to fill in (if Cole does get a rest) and then he'd play Malouda on that wing ahead of him. Hope I'm wrong, because I'd love to see Bertrand get his chance on the big stage!

I hope he gives Torres a start at least. Dropping him won't do much for his confidence. Would like to see Ash rested though..

And he wonders why he fails to inspire the squad. (Crapello)

Feel sorry for the boy more than anyone. He knows Ancelotti vouches for him, yet he is not allowed to be played. Hope it's not too damaging for his development.

I kind of feel sorry for Rio now too. He, technically, hasn't done anything wrong.

Perhaps his last visit to Cobham..

Wait.. Now I'm confused

I was thinking give Ivanovic a rest. If Alex is fit then we should use him, as his strength can be a big asset against a team like City. Their players are quite small so Alex can intimidate them and he wins most of the aerial battles that come his way. Just a thought really. Would like to see him on at some point though, be it from kick off or after 80minutes from the bench.

What about the message from the Sao Paulo board?

Capello to wait after Wales clash Apparently Terry will lead them out vs Wales, but will decide on whether it's permanent or not based on that. You can guarantee that Rooney will have a "bad" game then

Starting to come round the idea of what Blue Lion was saying about putting Luiz at right back. Luiz - Alex - Terry - Cole?

Sad, but true..

€12million is quite a bit for an 18-year old (in real terms). Hopefully he's as good as that suggests!

Nice! Don't know much about him, I'm sure our American associates & Henrique can fill us in though.

Interesting they left out Cork

Great match! Played a 4-2-4 formation and went all out

Ahahahahaha Rio's crying over it.. At least Gerrard knows who the real captain is

Great competition for defence now! Luiz vs Alex Alex vs Ivanovic Bosingwa vs Ivanovic Luiz vs Ivanovic.

Ashley Cole's first touch in that goal vs Sunderland was very similar. A very hard skill to master that, and there's the master showing how it's done
