    "Capello will be happy to sit on a 1 - 0 lead / Boring Italian football", a stereotypical out-dated view.

    But even now, 5 years on(?), we're still getting, "AND HERE'S WAYNE ROONEY ON THE BALL!!!" even if he's keeping the ball at the cornerflag to run down the clock.

    I look forward to seeing Motty & Lawro next on Headcases.

    "Baros in here, oh, maybe a, save, oh, but, yes, no, yes goal"
