Caps all round

I think its a disgrace that David Beckham is getting his 112th cap this evening by starting for England. Caps are being handed out like sweets. Bobby Moore must be turning over in his grave.It is as obvious as those ridiculous tattoo's that cover his neck that this is a move orchestrated by the FA. England have all but qualified for the world cup finals and tonights minnows Andorra are almost a training match for the three lions. I expect a comfortable win. The problem for the FA is the whole country share my views about qualification and its unlikely England will falter at this late stage. So the problem is attendance with the game also being shown live on ITV they will be lucky to have a half full stadium. This will result in a huge reduction in gate receipts and advertising revenue. For all the talk of Capello being his own man who wouldn't brook any interference in team matters especially selection he turns out to be another puppy dog whom the FA can roll over and tickle anytime it wants. As a England fan I cant wish anything other than a victory tonight. But wouldn't it serve Fabio and the FA right if we got a David and Goliath result tonight.

  1. Totally agree. This is so cynical, and its made 'caps' a cheapened commodity. Why stop there - why not bring back Lineker for another international cap too, or even Greavsie?

  2. Lineker sound's a bit far fetched but Greavsie could certainly still do a job.
