On the day that Gary Cahill had to withdraw from England's Euro 2012 squad with the
inexperienced Liverpool defender, Martin Kelly, taking his place, the 'representative' of Rio
Ferdinand has blasted both the FA and manager Roy Hodgson for failing to pick his client.

Roy Hodgson has confirmed Steven Gerrard will be England's captain at the finals of Euro 2012.
The Liverpool skipper, who briefly worked under his new international boss at Anfield between July
2010 and January 2011, will regain the armband having led his country at the 2010 World Cup.
John Terry had returned to the role as captain under Fabio Capello after the finals in South Africa
two years ago, having previously lost the role as a result of revelations about his personal life.
He's back! Rio is out.
Team unity be damned. Old is gold. We have John Terry back resurrected until proven otherwise in
the racism charge against Anton Ferdinand. Fabio Capello was sacked for going rogue on Italian TV
but Roy Hodgson brought back Terry to the squad without it raising a cheep out of the FA as he
sugar coated it on purely "footballing reasons,"
What is Hodgson building on if you also include Frank Lampard, James Milner, and Gareth
Barry?
Roy Hodgson's tenure as England national team manager is off to a controversial start.
Hodgson named his squad for Euro 2012 and has included the likes of John Terry, Stewart Downing
and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain while leaving out Rio Ferdinand, Daniel Sturridge, Aaron Lennon, Darren
Bent and Michael Carrick, among others.
The final day of the Premier League season provided more entertainment than we could have
possibly hoped for. And even though Man City came back to beat 10-man QPR with two goals during
injury time to win the title, we still must ask the all-important question: "What if it
continued?"

Amazing, amazing last day. What a nail biting finish! City looked done for as full time went by
and they were a goal down to QPR. They had to score twice to win the title with about 3 minutes
left in stoppage as United were winning away at Sunderland.
10 man QPR were proving extra-ordinarily tough to break as City swamped them but kept running
out of ideas.
This morning, we received this epic artwork in the mail from Alex in the UK.
Thanks to Alex, you know what to expect in the following weeks. After Sergio
Ramos, it's now time for a slew of Mancini Memes such as this
one to hit us all.

A phenomenal display from Fernando yesterday.
Revenge has been a recurring theme recently. We have a few things to settle with this lot,
too.

In case you missed it, Peter Nowak was fined and suspended for two games for leaving the
technical area and initiating contact with an opposition player during last Saturday's win against
Chivas USA. The next time he'll be on the sidelines will be against Schalke.
Very interesting decision the Premier League has taken ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture
between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers. The Premier League has decided that there will be no
pre-match hand shake due to the legal situation involving John Terry and Anton Ferdinand.
A statement on the its website read:
"The Premier League position on the pre-match handshake convention remains
consistent.
Serial handshake dodger Mark Hughes is set to reach the pinnacle of his career this Sunday after
his entire QPR squad was given permission to snub handshakes with Chelsea. The Premier League has
confirmed that the usual handshake rituals will be scrapped due to the impending legal case
involving John Terry and Anton Ferdinand.

"I'll knee you in the back if you're not careful..."
Who would have thought that the simple act of shaking someone's hand would have become such an
incendiary issue in the Premier League this season? Hot on the heels (ish) of the Patrice Evra/Luis
Suarez handshaking palavar, the Premier League have now decided to cancel the usual pre-match
shakedown between Chelsea and QPR in case it prejudices John Terry's summer trial.
April 24th 2012: After 37 minutes in Chelsea's Champions League semi-final at the Nou Camp,
Terry was sent off for kneeing Alexis Sanchez in the back off the ball. From the dressing room,
Terry preposterously claimed: "The player checked his run and piled into the back of me. He put
his weight on the back foot, that's why my knee went up.

Tough assignment writing about QPR. Why? Because I have a real soft spot for Rangers, but and
this is such a huge but, there is hardly a bigger but in the Western World - not even J-Lo has a
but this big. You know what I am referring to .... yes ..... two of the most unpleasant men ever to
grace a football field, Mark Hughes and Joey Barton.

"The club is alive... with the sound of impending relegation"
Brother of celebrity Twitter start, Rio, and QPR football defender man, Anton Ferdinand, has
revealed that his life could have taken a different, altogether more auto-tuned path in his younger
days.
Quick turnaround for Liverpool after their Sunday victory as they head to Loftus Road to face
Queens Park Rangers tomorrow night. After a difficult start to 2012, Liverpool finally look as
though they're turning a corner with a convincing win over Everton in the Merseyside Derby and a
grinding victory over Stoke on Sunday to advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

- Annual QPR Player of the Year Dinner?
Images: QPR.co.uk via Backpage Images.
The 'ballers from Queens Park Rangers were out at the movies Tuesday night for the film premiere
of "The Four Year Plan," which is *not* an autobiographical account of a ride-or-die WAG, although
it should've been.
Representing for the first team was Fitz Hall, Anton Ferdinand and Shaun Wright-Phillips, all of
whom were dressed in a very predictable, very London nightclub circa 2007 dress code of of denim
and trainers.
Some thoughts:
The game was Fulham under Jol in microcosm: lots of lovely attacking play in the first half,
then a complete shutdown and hanging on phase that could easily have seen us lose the three
points. I don't know why it happens but it is frustrating. That was a 4-0 win waiting to
happen.

The fuss about handshakes is all the rage at the moment, after the FA cancelled the pre-match
handshake between Chelsea and QPR following rumours that Anton Ferdinand's teammates would all be
willing the snub John Terry's hand.
Last weekend we had more fuss, with speculation then suggesting that Rio Ferdinand wouldn't
shake Terry's hand in support of his brother.
