"Top bosses shun home-grown stars" said Tuesday's Sun, illustrating its piece about the lack of England players employed by the Premiership's big boys with a cartoon of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. Turn from page 62 to page 60, however (in the manner of a sports-mad Sun buyer reading from the paper from the back to the front), and the very next story is about an Arsenal player who also plays for England under-19s. The player in question, incidentally, is Tom Cruise – no, not that one – who had bragged to the Sun he thought England's teenage Top Guns could beat Spain in that day's Euro semi-final. They lost 3-1, which just goes to show that it was Mission Impossible (sorry).
