ENGLAND beat Swiss might, and Fabio Capello, manager of dread ‘Team England’, appears on the Sun’s cover page.

Over four stills, Fabio introduces his fingers to his face.

The impression is that he is about to shock us all and pick his nose. The pressing of fingers over lips introduces the notion of Capello then eating his excavations.

There is no shot of Capello inserting his digit up his nose, and he might not have picked it.
But if he wants to he surely will. Capello is his own man.

And he was once a world champion…
