Props maketh the man...

Why Lippi is the man to take England forward...

Jose's rejected the job apparently, making Marcello Lippi and Fabio Capello the new favorites. Without a doubt, we should plump for Lippi. Is it because he's already a World Cup winning manager? Or is it his vast international experience? Or even his ability to craft a side that is defensively solid but dangerous and effective on the break? Well, no.

It's because he looks cool.

Just look at the man, with his cigar and 80's-style specs that look like he's raided Jimmy Saville's dressing room. Class act.

There's no question he would be an improvement on this fashion calamity anyway. Umbrellas + Latte = not cool.

THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN CALLED STEVE HUNT...

Oh yes, it's Lex's Limericks again!

There was a young man called John Terry
Whose eyes were bigger than his belly
When out on the town
He threw the beer down
But not as much as Lee Cattermole

(That's not quite working, is it? - Ed)

Say what you mean Thaksin...

Thaksin Shinawatra speaks...

We've not heard much from Thaksin Shinawatra since he took over at City, but after his recent comments in the press we definitely fancy hearing a bit more. The 23rd Prime Minister of Thailand has been speaking candidly about transfer targets in January, including Brazilian Adriano.

"We're looking to see whether we'll do a swap deal or not. Adriano was a top player, but he lost form when his father died, and he put on weight. Now he's returning to form.

"Dietmar Hamman is getting old. We're looking at a new midfielder who we think will play very well with Elano. We're going to play in a classic style."

Don't mince your words Thaksin. We're sure Dietmar Hamman was delighted to read the comments while waiting for his pension outside the Post Office...

Sorry!

Betting genius gets it wrong. And goes into hiding...

Betting editor Dan Clarke yesterday advised everyone to back Red Star Belgrade in their UEFA Cup tie against Bolton (below). And after his well informed shout to back AC Milan against Celtic the other night, he was looking to make it two in two days.

But alas, Gavin McCann's winner for Bolton meant that Clarkey's tip would not be earning anyone any money.

And sure enough, he's got the day off, too ashamed to come in no doubt. So apologies on behalf of the tarnished tipster.

Clarkey, if you're reading, you better make up for it with this weekend's accumulator...
