One of my favourite blogs, Dirty Tackle, has managed to exclusively obtain a transcript of the bust up between Capello and Heskey:-
Capello: Emile! What do you have under the table?!
Heskey: …nothing.
Capello: Your hands are doing something under the table! What is it?!
Heskey: Noth-
Capello: You better not be texting! Do you dare break the Law of Capello against having phones at meals?
Heskey: I’m knitting.
Capello: No you’re not.
Heskey: I’m playing Gameboy.
Capello: No you’re not.
Heskey: I’m having thumb wars against myself.
Capello: No you’re

As a rule I try to avoid the more scurrilous stories, but as I decided to opine on Emile Heskey’s apparent cry for first team action recently I feel strangely compelled to continue the trend with the most tenuous of links.

With all due respect, I don’t think you’ll find too many Villa fans who will go out of

Gabby Agbonlahor’s recent run of form has been recognised by Fabio Capello and is included in the England squad to face Ukraine and Belarus.
James Milner and Emile Heskey are also in the squad, but there’s no place for Ashley Young.
