Frazier Campbell just got an idea.
Yes folks, indeed it’s true. The Sunderland striker hoping to get a spot on England’s 2010 World Cup squad had admitted his achilles heel: debilitating arachnophobia.
“I can’t stand spiders. They are so creepy. I don’t hate animals or anything – I used to have a pet snake as a child.”
It says so much about the man with the streaky scoring rate; we imagine that the sight of strike partner Kenwyne Jones’ hair might be the root cause of their difficult relationship. After all, when you’re running at full speed you could be forgiven for seeing something a little spider-like in those dreadlocks.
Still, such is Bent’s determination to make the World Cup team that he’ll consider hypnotherapy to overcome his affliction. So come on, England strikers, what are the rest of you willing to do to get in the mix for South Africa?

Stevie G and Wayne Rooney will stop diving.
Just kidding… no they won’t.
When does King Ralph get signed?
“Take note EPL: put spiders on the goal posts.”
But that would mean changing away from zonal marking, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And if it is broke, shattered on the floor in billions of pieces, don’t fix it.

@Georger. Ha sorry mate, picture change ruined your point.
It’s cool, though I’m not sure why you replaced it with a picture of Shelden Williams.
