The Daily Teaser …

Bleugh …

And, yes, I’ve got to admit I had another late night, last night. Rather interestingly late, as well.

Because Movie Night Adrian and I managed to catch the Michæl Caine film, Harry Brown.

I’ll try and put a post up, about that, later.

But I do know that, while I’m writing this, I’ve got the BBC News channel on: and they are, obviously, doing the post-match inquest, after England’s 4-1 defeat that knocked us out of the World Cup.

And seemingly, there’s a lot of people saying Fabio Capello should go.

I can’t for the life of me, see why: bar this tournament, the man’s got an impeccable record, distinguished by the fact he’s won the domestic league with each club he’s coached.

Personally … ?

Yes, I know I’m not a fan.

But that also doesn’t stop me thinking that blaming Capello for a bad job, when it seems obvious that he had a poor quality team, is daft.
