Luis Suarez decided to snub Patrice Evra's handshake ahead of today's 2-1 victory over
Liverpool. Given that Suarez was the guilty party, having been banned for eight games for racially
abusing Evra, it is incredible that he opted to disrespect our captain again today.
However, this could have been predicted when you consider Suarez revealed this week that Evra
was wrong to report the racial abuse he received.
Fabio Capello resigns as England manager but who will replace him? - The 90th Minute Soccer
Blog
England currently has no manager as Fabio Capello recently resigned. It was pretty clear Capello
would be out after the upcoming Euro 2012 and his resignation was a surprise. The problem between
Capello and the English Football Association was over John Terry.
One of the disadvantages of working a paying job whilst trying to build a readership on your own
blog is that sometimes we get blindsided by events that need immediate reporting such as we saw
today in London as England manager Fabio Capello resigned his position immediately following a
meeting with FA Chairman David Bernstein.
The 2012 European Championship commences exactly four months from today, and England is looking
for a new manager.
In a monumental development, Fabio Capello resigned from the helm of the English national team
on Wednedsay. Capello had been public in his defense of John Terry after the FA stripped the
Chelsea centerback of his international captaincy amid his involvement in a racial abuse
scandal.
C'mon 'Arry break out in a smile now!
Harry Redknapp's been found to be as clean as a whistle. The three week trial which took place
at Southwark crown courts came to an end as both Redknapp and his former Pompey boss, Milan
Mandaric were cleared of tax evasion charges with the prosecution building their case around the
Peter Crouch sale which involved two transfer amounts totaling £189,000.
Fabio Capello showing what he thinks of the FA's decision to nix Terry's captaincy
The FA and Fabio Capello are increasingly at odds with each other over John Terry's captaincy.
The Italian was vocal in his support of the Chelsea defender using the cover of the deferred legal
case as a presumption of innocence till proven guilty.

The path from the cusp of destruction to redemption has been a long one for Liverpool FC fans.
Bad apple Americans owners. The departure of Rafael Benitez. The exodus of star players like Xabi

Who let the cat out? A tabby provided the most excitement in the Liverpool vs Spurs match, a
cagey affair. Luis Suarez came on in the 66th minute after his nine match ban and promptly plonked
Scott Parker on the abdomen with a scything foot, an accident more than anything else, but with
Suarez the line is finely drawn.
Joey Barton's reaction to the FA's handling of the John Terry racial abuse case
A series of Tweets from Joey Barton on the John Terry racial abuse saga has England's Attorney
General breathing hard down his neck. Barton's tweets summed up:
"This John Terry saga, has turned into one of the most hideously managed spectacles I have
ever known.
Over England way, John Terry has been stripped of his national team captaincy. The move comes in
the midst of Terry's ongoing prosecution for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, with a trial on the
incident set for the summer. Terry's leadership of England was under question before, but the
controversy surrounding what he allegedly said to Ferdinand was the tipping point for removing him
as captain.
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has slammed the FA's decision to strip Chelsea's John Terry of the
England captaincy. Terry is currently awaiting trial for the alleged racial abuse of QPR's Anton
Ferdinand, and although he is innocent until proven guilty, the FA has take action that could be
construed as a punishment.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is confident that local striker Shola Ameobi will now be affected at
all, by the racial abuse that he has suffered recently. Alan Pardew with Shola after he signed his
new contract last year It was sad to hear that Shola Ameobi has been racially abused on the
social network, Facebook, much like [.
For the second time, Chelsea's John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy. The
English Football Association confirmed that Terry was informed of the decision by FA chairman David
Bernstein in a phone call Friday morning.
Terry is due to stand trial in July over racial abuse allegations after an incident with QPR's
Anton Ferdinand and there has been mounting pressure within England to remove Terry as England's
captain ahead of this summer's Euro 2012 competition
The FA released a statement on their web site which read:
Following the decision to adjourn the court case against John Terry to July, The Football
Association confirm he will not captain the England team until the allegations against him are
resolved.

It's being reported that John Terry will be stripped of the England captaincy over a charge
for which he has not yet been tried for the second time in two years. The following is a transcript
of Terry's latest visit with FA chairman David Bernstein and England manager Fabio
Capello.
Bernstein: John, I'll make this brief.
Anton, or is that your name? Now, touch my skin. Worship it.
One should ask the FA why they did such a thorough job investigating Luis Suarez's racial abuse
of Patrice Evra and then drop the ball on John Terry doing the same against Anton Ferdinand? Suarez
gets an eight match ban, while Terry gets rewarded with a deferment of his trial till after the
2012 Euro is over and retains his captaincy of the Three Lions to boot.

A Man divided opinion of what was right and decent
A Man led a country; All its people, All casts,
All its hopes rested on his shoulders
His Name was John Terry.

It can't have escaped your attention that John Terry is due to stand trial on charges of racial
abuse for shouting 'you know what' at 'you know who' on July 9th, i.
Just a quick round-up this morning:
Terry will go to the Euros...
• Shambolic! RT @RobHarrisUK BREAKING: England captain Terry not to stand trial on
charge of racially abusing opponent until after Euro 2012.
The skinny: John Terry's legal trial regarding his alleged racial abuse of
Anton Ferdinand postponed to the week of July 9th.
After getting thru the anti-climax that was QPR, Chelsea have announced that John Terry will
miss the trip to the Liberty Stadium, coincidentally in line with the week his trial for racial
abuse commences. More, after the jump:

In a late-night conversation with The Doc, we both agreed that John could profit from a stretch
of rest.

Aside from the 17 ejections, two arrests and the fact that, almost entirely in unison, Anfield
saw fit to boo a victim of racial abuse at the hand's of one of their own players for the entire
game the atmosphere at today's FA Cup tie between Liverpool and Manchester United was just about as
placid and tolerant as it was ever likely to be.
Patrice Evra will be on the receiving end of some abuse today but I'd like to think it won't be
racist abuse. Maybe I'm naive and I'm probably giving the vermin too much credit but I genuinely
hope that Liverpool fans don't turn their dislike of Evra, having been lead to believe that he's a
liar by the ridiculous propaganda from their club, in to something far more sinister.

It's FA Cup weekend again in England, and the field is down to 32 teams.
Liverpool are well out of the Premier League title race, and their Champions League hopes are
diminishing quickly, but fans will find some solace in the domestic cups, especially after the club
reached the Carling Cup final earlier this week.
With Martin Luther King's legacy being commemorated across the country, it's an eye-opening
shame that blatant forms of racism still exist around the world, specifically in the soccer
forum.
Over the weekend, U.S. midfielder Maurice Edu and Rangers teammate Kyle Bartley were the subject
of racial abuse via Twitter, an incident that resulted in the arrest of a 41-year-old man who was
due to appear in a Scottish court on Monday.
