Boot-Licking ‘N’ All Another tempestuous week in England has seen Carlos Tevez label Gary Neville "a boot-licker," Owen Coyle accuse William Gallas of "assault" and Steve Bruce brand Liverpool "disrespectful." Tevez's unique form of playground name calling came after Gary Neville reportedly said he was not worth the US$41 million Manchester City paid for him after he left United last summer. Tevez gestured at Neville - suggesting the latter talks too much - during the Carling Cup semi-final between the two sides, and Neville responded by raising his middle finger. Boot-Licking ‘N’ All originally appeared on About.com World Soccer on Friday, January 22nd, 2010 at 18:45:43.
Capello Wields the Axe England coach Fabio Capello is not a man to shirk his responsibilities, never afraid to make tough decisions. His sacking of John Terry as England captain after allegations of an affair with Wayne Bridge's ex-partner was a timely reminder that he remains the sergente di ferro (iron sergeant), as he became known in Italy.

Nesta Return Would Prompt Questions The news that Alessandro Nesta is considering coming out of international retirement is interesting from a moral perspective. It is certainly positive for Italy. The team lack quality cover for first-choice central defenders Fabio Cannavaro and Giorgio Chiellini. Coach Marcello Lippi is keen for him to join the Azzurri's World Cup squad, and paid Nesta and his fellow Italians a visit at AC Milan's training complex recently.

Back in the Big Time Ronaldinho's third goal in AC Milan's 4-0 win over Siena on Sunday was not only his ninth of the Serie A season but also confirmation that he is returning to something like the form he demonstrated on a weekly basis with Barcelona. The Catalans were desperate to offload him and Deco in the summer of 2008 as both were becoming disenchanted with life at Camp Nou. They were emerging as destructive influences in the dressing room, Ronaldinho's relationship with Samuel Eto'o in particular having deteriorated.
