About the England v France friendly, a heavy emphasis on that word ?friendly? too Mr K......

Whilst France have taken positive and effective action after the World Cup, comprehensively making wholesale changes to the national team and management structure, banning the tin pot revolutionaries, Evra, Anelka, Toulalan and Ribery, and ringing in a new coaching Ayatollah none other than Laurent Blanc, on the other hand after returning from South Africa, England coach Fabio Capello has been accused of having a preverbal beer and then going shopping, but this Friendly was all about experimentation, Fabio Capello gave the youth team a chance to shine, in the guise of rookies Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson , but I will not make pretences, this was a new squad carrying all the same old dogma, and yes MR K they were trampled on by France.

Malouda clearly had a field day parking himself on the left and cutting in to the center at will, he could have pushed a full shopping trolley past Henderson and picked up his vouchers and loaded his car, with the amount of time and space he was allowed, and Barry with all his experience, failed to overlap and provide cover, England had some moments to savour but too few and too late...... Come back to you later about Premiership and Chelsea....
