Would it be a bad thing if England didn’t qualify for Euro 2012? Would it be a bad thing? Capello is leaving after the Euro 2012 tournament. So do we want to go to another tournament with high hopes and fail again? I’m telling you if England head to the Euros with Capello once again it will be a quarter final fail because Capello and England don’t know how to play in tournaments. The old guard is still there stealing positions and players who won’t be anywhere near the squad come Brazil 2014. England need to plan or the future now. Harry Redknapp in, make sure Wilshere is fit. Bring Welbeck, Sturridge, Carrol, Rooney, Bent because their the future.

With what happen at White Hart Lane last Sunday, I do feel slightly sorry for Arsenal fans, and I’m not talking about losing 2-1 to their rivals Spurs. What I am talking about is the chanting directed to Adebayor. Now for some reason a chant as naughty as it was is being talked about as if it’s the sin of the century. This chant or chants going on at this game has been going on for years, remember the Tottenham fans were at it too. They even came up with the first Adebayor song! and the Wenger one was if I’m right was started by Manchester United fans. If you don't know the chants I’m sure you can find it on Youtube if you have that time on your hands. Anyway the question is, Is it right that these chants happen? Should fans been thrown out? Is it as bad as racism or is it just banter at the football? I don’t think it could ever be stopped, and banning fans won’t help. There’s always someone else who will die for a ticket and that fan could just as well sing these songs. Of course...
