Apart from the fact the song is insane.
He looks like the crossbow cannibal realising he's full but there's half a prossie still in the fridge.

Look out for Frankie goes to Hollywood's guitarist on the mixing desk. 
England's 23-man squad for the World Cup finals:
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham).
Defenders: Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Ledley King (Tottenham), John Terry (Chelsea), Matthew Upson (West Ham), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa).
Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham), James Milner (Aston Villa), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City).
Forwards: Peter Crouch (Tottenham), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United).
Out: Theo Walcott, Darren Bent, Adam Johnson, Scott Parker, Michael Dawson, Leighton Baines and Tom Huddlestone.
F**k me!
I'm sure Emile Heskey is a very nice man, but he is a f**king donkey. 7 goals in 57 matches? It would have been more beneficial if they had left him at home and taken extra oranges for half time.
On the England World Cup squad. I think it was brave leaving Walcott out, I'm not his biggest fan but I would have chosen him over Wright-Phillips though. If I was a gambling man, I'd have taken Adam Johnson instead. Anyway, Lennon for me is by far our best winger.
As for Heskey, I do rate him and would start him in the finals. I know his goal-scoring is appalling, he'll probably score one goal in the World Cup, but when he doesn't score, 8/10 Rooney or whoever's up front with him will. Crouch is probably the best player to have up there with Rooney, but I think he'd be a great impact sub, so would start with Heskey and as the games go on, replace him with Crouch.
All the flim-flam discussion is ultimately about reserves, though I would say SWP is very lucky to get in ahead of either Walcott or Johnson. Best news is that Joe Cole is in - I can't believe he was ever not going but the Sunday papers reckoned so.
Joe Cole never looks like he's happy, in fact he looks like a coink (mixture of c**t and oick) . Neither for that matter does Lampard. Must be a chelsea thing
So, all you armchairs pundits, how safe is my £20 @ 6-1 ?
Will I collect ?
Heskey's record is poor to say the least but he has scored some important goals:
Goal 5 in the 5-1 drubbing of Germany in Munich and goal 3 in the 3-0 win 2002 World Cup second round against Denmark. The problem is is that both those matches are the best part of 10 years ago and has only scored three times since...against South Africa, Slovakia and Kazakhstan.
He's played against some real footballing power houses in his 30 games since his goal in the 2002 world Cup mind. Should we talk about his failure to score against the likes of Liechtenstein, Andorra and Iceland? Probably best not.

On Radio 5 Live Five Live Radio 5 ( one has to do that to keep up with Tristram's channel ID targets) Heskey had eight shots on target in the last Premiership season.
Do you think Betfred would give me a refund on an unused World Cup bet ?
Or would anybody like to buy it off me for £15 ?
I'm hearing lots and lots of rumours Rafa Benitez has been sacked.

Wish I had a job that paid millions per year, and that if I failed they'd pay me £15M you f**k off. There's something very wrong in this world.
It must be difficult for Rafa though, not only managing Liverpool but also starring in them 'Go Compare' adverts.
