GOR blimey - the entry for last week's caption contest was, as Mr Eriksson seems to say in every media interview these days, "very good."
 Top of the league – just like Eriksson’s Manchester City – was this effort from GEORGE YEATS, Bamburgh Road, Palmersville: "Just look at Bolton’s start to the season before you accuse me of leaving England in a mess!" Here are the best of the rest... ROBERT LAMB, Haig Crescent, Scotswood: "The point is, Sam, two heads are better than one and I have the better one!" TREVOR O’CONNELL, Hauxley Drive, Red House Farm: "And what is it you do, Sam?" DON McKEOWN, Raby Road, Newton Hall, Durham: "Don’t mention the England job, Sam, and I will not mention your spell a Sunderland." B JORDAN, Winton Way, North Kenton: "I am sure it is your turn for the wine, Samuel." ANN BEWLEY, Broadviews, Great Lumley: "Watch it Sam, I an no Nancy boy." DANIEL RIDLEY (via e-no mail0: "Sam, Joey Barton is NOT available." "But Sven, did they not tell you, we picked him up two months ago . . .oops!" KEN WILKINSON, Wingfield Road, Hull: "If my yoyo is not returned in 10 minutes, I will get Nancy to pay you a visit!" BOBBY LUMSDON, Barnard Castle: "So, you are an English manager at an English club which is run by an Englishman and owned by one too. You must be lying!" ANDREW KERR (via e-mail): "Sam, I was told it would be funny if I let you pull my finger and offered you £20m for Luque." "You mean, pull my leg and offer me £20m for Luque!" ROB BROWN, Bahrain: "Let’s try this again . . . you missed the England job and got Newcastle and I am the one who missed the Newcastle job and got England? So which one of us followed Kevin Keegan and Bobby Robson?" DENIS KING (via e-mail): "Weren’t you after my job when I was England manager?" DENIS MASON (via e-it mail): "Was you who ate all the pies?" SARAVDEEP LALLY (via e-mail): "What is that thing in your ear? I hope you are not taping our conversation, I have been caught out once before in Dubai!" GORDON REID, Links Green, Gosforth: "Listen, Sam, I am telling you, Freddie offered me the Toon job." DEREK MOONEY (via e-mail: "Now are you absolutely sure your secretary is not married?" ---------------------------------------------------------
