Gerrard - I'd boo England

Team leader Steven Gerrard admits England deserve to be jeered by faction during Wednesday's friendly in opposition to Hungary - and he would join in if he was in the stands at Wembley.
England are predictable to be given a rough time by fans following their disappointing World Cup campaign in South Africa this summer.

Asked if he would boo the national team at Tuesday's press meeting, Gerrard said: "I almost certainly would."

He added: "I'm expectant a mixed reaction. I'm sure there'll be boos but we have to take it on the chin. We merit it, we let them down.

"Hopefully, with time, we can show them we are a good team and that we're frantic to make them happy."

Coach Fabio Capello conventional a lot of criticism for his man-management and tactics throughout the World Cup but the Football Association chose to stick with the Italian, and Gerrard has no doubt it was the right conclusion.

Premier League has no room for a winter break, says chief executive Richard Scudamore

England head coach Fabio Capello has insisted a smash is essential if the national side is to do well. Capello's comments came after England's stoppage in the World Cup but Scudamore cannot see where the space in the packed out fixture calendar could be found for a winter break.

Scudamore said: ''We are open-minded to it but I don't see where the drive is going to come from for it.

''Mr Capello might desire one but I can't see where the impetus is going to come to reduce our league from 20 to 18 clubs.

''It would be daft to do that when you have a global property of our strength. We have 380 games and you're not going to go down to 306 - why are you going to do that when people like Uefa are mounting the number of dates of their competitions.
