Capello would have had a heart attack, though. I prefer to think of it as Cannavaro getting it out of his system, using the Bernabeu as a cleansing spa.

Watching Fabio play against Valencia filled me with horror when I looked ahead to Euro 2008... haha while the Real-Valencia match pleased me greatly, and amused me considerably largely for the same reasons as Ursus mentions, it’s not all good news.

Alternatively they might try visiting The Royals at the Madejski. Or King Kev at Newcastle. They had best hurry on that one as he may be moving on soon Presumably they go to QPR because they are expecting the Queen to be there?

Calabresi


King (second from left)

Okay, on the evidence of these pictures, I don’t think Calabresi is Otumfuo. But I’m not at all sure that he isn’t Prince Charles.

The pigmentation issues alone pose significant challenges. Not to mention the fact that Flavio Briatore and Calabresi go way back. At least the King is used to dealing with prickly situations; Asante Kotoko are one of the few clubs to feature a porcupine on their badge.

So the president of Real Madrid and the King of the Ashanti go to Q.P.R. games together. Just something to bear in mind.
