One, two, three, five. It sounds like the punch-line of a drummer joke, but is in fact, part of the Fibonacci series, a mathematical sequence wherein every number is the sum of the preceding two numbers. The series determines the spirals of sunflowers, snails and pine-cones and also leads us to the golden ratio, with which, if we've got time and some sticky-backed paper, we can build a golden rectangle.
Pythagoras used to build golden rectangles out of hippopotamus hide and massive bits of stone, and used the series to determine the cement to sand ratio in the mortar. Centuries later, Leonardo Da Vinci took the remains of those mysterious rectangles, and using the irrationality of the golden ratio, made them into a helicopter. The series is so immersed in function and beauty that it's no surprise to me that 1-2-3-5 is the only true and right formation for a football team to adopt. I think the England team should look like this.
James
Richards A.Cole
Gerrard Mum Barry
Bentley Rooney Owen Me Young
Yes, Fabio Capello! I urge you to spurn the boiling madness of religious fundamentalism (4-4-2), reject the cold stupidity of crass materialism (4-5-1), and instead seek enduring truth and equanimity in the sacred rhythms of the natural world (2-3-5).
In this satisfyingly pyramidal England line up, I've given my Mum the nod over Rio Ferdinand and preferred myself to Frank Lampard, but I would stress to Fabio that it's the formation, not the personnel, that's most important here. Having said that, even though it's a big ask, if picked, I think me and my Mum could do big jobs. She's got bags of biscuits, and with my punning skills, I think I could open up Andorra's box.

Fibonacci played for Italy didn't he?
England will still lose.

Very clever Rory. I'm one of your silent readers, addicted to you puns. Your Mum sounds nice too. I have only known one person who knew about the Fibonacci sequence of numbers and he is a devotee of Chelsea - he hasn't yet recovered from the departure of Jose 'the special one'. I am sure he will embrace your new religion.
