Agree on the whole, but on this particular occasion I think that's a bit harsh. He'll get off on the evidence (or lack of it). In fact, it's worth bearing in mind he's been charged with the offence precisely because he's a footballer (ie there are few other scenarios where there'd be that level of scrutiny/footage, if it was an ordinary bloke on the street it would have come to nothing) so he's actually been held to a higher standard of probity. Not saying that makes him a victim, because equally its that same higher level of scrutiny (ie live commercial football) that has made him a multi millionaire and as such it's fair enough, I'm just saying those are the facts and that's the complete context. Aye. Why though has it gone to court and gone this far if there isnt enough evidence? Like whats been said, maybe there is other evidence other than whats on youtube, i.e witness on the pitch etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfoaoQImtaI&feature=related Apologies, it was "fucking black cunt", not bastard. Thing is though, he definitely does seem to say "Yeah yeah yeah. I..(something something ??) just as Ashley Cole obscures the footage of his mouth, and then ends: "..fucking black cunt! Fucking nobhead" It does seem to be dismissive language, even if it is with his trademark hate face. Then he offers another insult at the end, which he'll no doubt argue was redundant if he had actually already insulted him. It's whether it's plausible he's fitted the missing five syllables into the bit when Cole jogs across the screen. He's getting off with it iyam. Of course he is. Footballers have waaaaaay too much power with the amount of cash they have.

I see racism is rearing its ugly head again.

I think the FA have to hold back on this one / are in a difficult position due to the legal case. I'm not one to defend the FA under normal circumstances either. The game in England needs a solid figure at the moment and the FA should be that. Why is it difficult to act quicker to take the arm band off Terry as soon as he is charged? Its a joke.

The FA have come out of this as shambolic. This and the whole racism situation we have at present.

They banned Bowyer and Woodgate though, pending the outcome of their criminal trial, so there is a precedent for it. A lad has just phoned 5Live up and put this point in. They asked the Chelsea supports group Chairwomen and she basically had blue tinted glasses on. The scumbags!

Agreed. Lack any pace at all.

Just had a Chelsea fan on 5Live moaning about it "Rio's kicking off because its his chance to get the armband" Errr no, its because he has allegedly racially abused his fucking brother you brain dead cunt

I love HF charts

?????????? If we got into the CL would you expect Fat Mike to spend cash? No. He will see us as achieving well on a shoestring budget. Playing CL and domestic football on an already threadbare squad wouldnt be good.

If they're gonna act at all, then he shouldn't be playing for England. I'm not saying that I think that that's what should happen, but I don't get the "you can't be captain cos of this, but you're ok to still play". You either do nothing, or you tell him he can't play for England until its sorted. Taking the captaincy off him is just a weird gesture. Agreed

Apparently the FA will be stripping him of his England Captaincy. Why has it taken so long to do this?

Dont see why not as this season has been so unpredicatable. I would love CL football again, but I dont think it would be right tbh.

Were talking about Taxi people, the meter will of been running

Stop wearing shorts in this weather then

Those fuckers are raping Norwich by all accounts

Yeah, which is mental. Why they're willing to pay me and the two agencies for another year, instead of a reasonable pay cut and save cash by eliminating two agencies Good look Fish mate, that sounds a bonkers do that.

Read the riot act Pards

GET IN

Did he get booked for diving?

Oretty happy with that tbh Really? That says to me Pardew is going for the same formation that failed against Brighton. 4-4-1-1 with Best wide right and the immobile Shola up front alone, unable to hold up the ball, nor get onto the through balls from HBA. I predict a turgid 0-0 Having Colo back is a big plus. I am HOPING Pardoo will play 4-4-2.

Oretty happy with that tbh
