Arsenal defensive problem solved!

A club like Arsenal scour the world to find the best in football talent, so who would've Adam and Eved it that the solution to their goalkeeper and centre-back problem lay just a couple of miles from Highbury!

Like two (book) ends.

Here's Mayor of London, Boris Johnson and yours truly in the Outdoor Games Area of TreeHouse School for autistic children in Highgate, North London.

It's a beautifully equipped school with 140 dedicated staff, looking after 80 children upto the age of 18. Believe me, the kids lives are transformed through this form of intensive education.

Ken can't half hit them.

Note the assuredness, sheer majesty of girth and the suits that would grace any Cup Final day! Then the calamity of the defence breached from a set-piece.

There were Arsenal community officers present. I'm sure whispers have reached the manager's office already. They've been conceding like this all season!

AUDIO: Capello tight-lipped over team selection

Like Sir Alf Ramsey before him, England boss Fabio Capello keeps the nation and his players guessing about who'll figure in the starting line-up for tonight's game with Algeria in Cape Town.

Capello tight-lipped over team selection

It was a tactic that always kept Sir Alf's squad on their toes - and performing, and ensures that control remains very much in the manager's office (if they win, of course!)

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson, our mayor of London urges fans to master the vuvuzela with some stirring Churchillian words. Statesman or 'Kin State Of That Man? you decide!

And after another World Cup shock this afternoon provided by Serbia's 1-nil win over Germany, maybe England have less to worry about than first thought.
