Watching England's warm-up against Wales, which consisted of Chris Smalling running into James Milner and Gareth Barry tripping over his own feet, Capello knew something was up. "Today I understood something [before the match]," he said, before awarding himself a gold star. "I knew the game would be difficult. The problem was here [tapping his head]," although the Fiver thinks the problem was there [pointing to its feet]. Not that the Italian needs to spend too much time working out why. Because after the win against Wales, Capello also had some words of advice for Chris Sutton tribute act Andy Carroll. "If he wants to be a good player he needs to drink less than the others," warned Capello, prompting the Fiver to query which others he might be talking about.
Lawyers for Professional Footballers' Association chairman Gordon Taylor said he wanted to be "vindicated or made rich" in negotiations over his controversial £700,000 phone-hacking settlement, according to News of the World's briefs. Self-serving trade union leaders? Whatever next?
Rugby World Cup memories, a big man from Stoke rolling a cigarette on television and the heartwarming tale of FC Twente's unlikely relationship with Stranraer are among the myriad delights to feature in this week's Classic YouTube.
