Re: The Guardian, did you see yesterday's Fiver?

"Capello said today that his side had "played not with confidence but with fear" in South Africa and that the mental state of the squad was vitally important. Still, at least he knows what he has to do to improve the mind of the players. "I don't know what we have to do to improve the mind of the players." £6m a year well spent."

They've spent plenty of time, not necessarily in that post but in the past, ripping into the players, but I think that last paragraph means they'd not be shy when it comes to piling into the manager like the rest of the press.

Dunno, it's the Fiver, it's supposed to be edgy and provocative - perhaps it's not representative of what the Guardian's On-Message message might be.
