England Expects: Twitter Jokes About Fabio Capello, Harry Redknapp And Stuart Pearce

The Huffington Post UK   Andrea Mann   First Posted: 9/02/2012 14:12   Updated: 9/02/2012 14:12

Fabio Capello has resigned, Harry Redknapp is in the clear, and Stuart Pearce has been named the caretaker manager of England. Well, of the football team, at least. The caretaker manager of England is, as we all know, David Cameron. At least, we hope it's just a caretaker position.

So, how has Twitter reacted to all this news? Is it sick as a parrot or over the moon? At the end of the day, it's hard to tell. But I'll tell you this, Twitter: for a big lad*, you're good with your feet**.

Alex R. Bath: Capello - The Latest Victim of Britain's Difficult Relationship With Europe

Poor Fabio Capello, he was fighting a losing battle. He started as an Italian and he left as an Italian. He never had a chance as long as he insisted on staying that way. It didn't matter if his appointment was a coup for the FA, or is he was the most qualified national team boss for a generation.

Martin Edwards: Football: A Modern Morality Tale

Cabinet ministers, and even captains of national sports teams, are exemplars of behaviour. They should be role models. Their conduct therefore needs to be judged by the highest (realistic) standards.

Richard Berry: David Beckham, Team GB and the Olympic Ideal

Beckham has now indicated he fancies captaining Team GB (that stands for Great Britain, by the way, not Golden Balls), and it would be a shock if he wasn't given that honour, too.

So the favourite candidate for manager of the England soccer team, is by his own admission unable to write a letter and doesn't know what an e-mail is.

Don't say much for the lesser candidates does it?

Thank god I'm a rugger fan and explayer.

not talking about the money,it's the fact that the prats at the top had to stick their noses in and sack J.T.. That's purely a manager's job.

I cannot see any comedy in the fact that an Italian immigrant will be signing on or that at least thirty job applicants are going to get a rejection letter!

I heard today that Fabio Capello resigned to concentrate fully on his commitments as one of the Dolmio puppets.

Another example of a captain running for a lifeboat before the ship sinks. Pity he didn't take the people at the top table (FA) with him.
