WIND BANANA!*
(*I have absolutely no idea what a 'wind banana' is)

Much of the top o'the headlines furor due to the Luis Suarez and John Terry racism issues has
seemingly boiled over, the print now focusing on the Andy Carroll rubbishness issues which have
been brought to light through Luis' siesta, but it's now at least time for a solid wrap on the
situation.
Not quite but we're getting there. The JimmyG2 Column Apparently I was the only one that saw the
huge Fyffes banana blimp that had been moored over WHL since the third round draw was made. But
it was safely towed away and deflated without too much difficulty. I can't believe that I was the
only one that saw the 100ft.
It's time black players took a stand against racism in football Carla Palmer

With all the furore kicked up by FIFA President Sepp Blatter a couple of weeks ago
regarding his stupid and senseless comments regarding racism in football, needless to say that
subject has grabbed the headlines back again in the blogosphere.
I have been told by someone who'd know that Blackburn have not ruled out coming back to actually
complete a deal for George John in January. It's just my hunch, but I still think "Mr. Manager"
could soon be looking for a job at the banana stand - and that's why this folded. Or maybe I've
just spent too many consecutive days with my head in the silly season and I'm dizzy.
We are exactly three-quarters through the MLS season. Forget adding, subtracting and dividing
the number of games your favorite side has played; it's good enough to know that Week 24 just
passed in a 32-week season.
So, let the gloriously mean season of meaningful table watching and scoreboard tracking
officially begin!

PSV breezed past SV Ried in the Europa League last night, whooping the Austrians 5-0, with
Jeremain Lens scoring the goal of the night.
After nipping past the charging Thomas Gebauer, Lens then proceeded to 'banana' a shot in from
the corner with the outside of his foot before the SV 'keeper could make it back to his goal.

Both Fulham and Stoke secured themselves a spot in the Europa League play-off stages with
second-leg victories over RNK Split and Banana Hajduk Split respectively last night.
Coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw in Croatia, a near-post Andy Johnson header
and the now-mandatory Danny Murphy penalty saw Fulham emerge victorious by two goals to nil at the
Cottage and maintain their unbeaten run in the preliminary stages in the process.

while playing for his Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala,with one fan throwing a banana at
him before the player left the field of play giving the two fingered salute in the
direction of the racist fan.

It's now just seven years until Russia host the World Cup and bananas are still being
thrown at black players in their domestic leagues...
After refusing to rise to the bait after being issued with a banana by a racist Zenit supporter
three months ago, it seems Carlos wasn't prepared to take the repeat offence quite so lightly
substituting himself off in protest.

In this week's roundup of the football news from around the world, we focus on Brazil an amazing
goalkeeper, a terrible haircut and claims of racism in a friendly match between the South American
side and Scotland.
And they probably shouldn't given what we've seen of this kid.
Primed to cash in?
Neymar gave Chelsea the figurative middle finger nearly a year and a half ago following a
protracted courtship that featured all the winks and blown kisses one could ever ask for.
The mystery of who tossed a banana onto the field during Sunday's friendly meeting between Brazil
and Scotland has been solved, with confirmation that the object was thrown by a German tourist with
no racist intent.
Quite possibly the legs of the individual in question.
Scotland 0 - 2 Brazil
