The QPR & Chelsea handshake: off…



The QPR & Chelsea handshake: officially boring Urgh, enough of this already. Apparently Mark Hughes will announce at his Friday afternoon press-conference whether his team will spurn John Terry’s handshake or not on Sunday. Never have so many column inches been devoted to something so pointless – well, at least not since Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra bored us all to death wi […]

Handshakes at Chelsea against QPR?



Handshakes at Chelsea against QPR? Before processional handshakes were mandatory ahead of Premier League games, did anybody demand their inclusion? Did fans attending games think “I know what would make this football match better”? I understand why handshakes exist, and I’m aware of all the good sportsmanship rhetoric that accompanies them, but the only tim […]

Fabio Capello should have no say over…



Notice that word: future. That’s the basis for this decision, and equally, that same future doesn’t involve Fabio Capello. After Euro 2012, the England team and the future of the national team are no longer of any concern to the Italian. The question with the Terry issue is a hypothetical. What if he captain’s his country […]

Why John Terry should be omitted from…



Why John Terry should be omitted from the England squad going to Euro 2012 Take football out of the equation here, and look at this from the FA’s point of view. John Terry is now due to stand trial for alleged racial abuse in July, which of course falls after the European Championships. Up until that point obviously, we’ll be no closer to having a resolution to this ugly mess. This is not about being […]

Why the need for CPS involvement with…



So John Terry is going to be tried is being charged by the Crown Prosecution Service for something that happened on a football pitch. Football has eaten itself. I don’t know what what Terry said to Anton Ferdinand, but I doubt that the CPS would have any interest in prosecuting him if he wasn’t the England captain. This is setti […]

Blame the FA for deliberate yellow ca…



Blame the system, not those who find a way around it. I don’t know whether John Terry intentionally got himself yellow carded against Wolves on Saturday, but I don’t overly care. At least not nearly as much as The Sun clearly does: ‘Villas-Boas denies Terry card con!’ Con? Why? Until the FA amends the ridiculous r […]

The Sun making a story out of Luis Su…



BIG news in THE SUN today, as they REPORT that Luis Suarez and John Terry actually SHOOK hands before yesterday’s game at Stamford Bridge. OH NO THEY DIDN’T! Ok, enough of the capitals. Basically though, the Sun have tried to the picture moment below into a story. CHELSEA’S John Terry gets a wink from Liverpool’s L […]

Everyone still missing the point over…



John Terry’s not a racist? Of that I have no doubt, but it’s not the point. The drama created by the Anton Ferdinand incident has been over what it is and what is not acceptable to say on a football pitch. The remarks that Terry made were those of a poorly-educated person, not necessarily someone that harbours deep-routed racial […]

Capello/FA are wrong in involving Joh…



John Terry shouldn’t be in the England squad, provisional or not, at the moment. This has nothing to do with his innocence or guilt, rather the naivety that’s being shown in associating him with the national team when such a cloud hangs over his character. Whenever there’s an issue over race, there will always be sections […]

The Sun misquoting QPR’s Anton …



It was only a matter of time before this happened really. ‘Ferdinand: Put JT in the dock!’ shouts The Sun’s website today. Actual quotes from Anton Ferdinand: “I have very strong feelings on the matter. But in the interests of fairness and not wishing to prejudice what I am sure will be a very thorough inquiry, this […]
