On this week's Gadsby's England roundup, a new show has to take over the airwaves: The England and FA February Farce. John Terry is sacked again, Don Fabio puts the knife in and publicly criticizes his employers the FA – worse, in Italian; Rio says no, and poor Stevie G. doesn't know what to make of it all.

1. At the start of the day I'd have taken a point at Stamford Bridge. We never win there, regardless of which team goes in to the game in better form, so a draw is a decent enough result. Don't forget that City lost there a few weeks ago, so despite some of their drag performances this season, Chelsea are still the 4th best team in the country.

De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Rio, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Young Welbeck and Rooney.

Subs: Amos, Berbatov, Park, Chicharito, Fabio, Scholes and Pogba.

Chelsea team: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Bosingwa, Essien, Meireles, Malouda, Sturridge, Torres and Mata.

Following John Terry's stripping of the England captaincy for the second and probably final time the man who briefly stepped into Terry's shoe's following his affair with Wayne Bridge's girl-friend has also ruled himself out of the running to replace the serial cheat.

Rio tweeted: "I don't want to be England captain after the last episode.

John Terry has today been stripped of the England captaincy for a second time following allegations of racism.

Terry allegedly called Anton Ferdinand a "black cunt" in Chelsea's defeat against QPR. In last weekend's Cup game between the two clubs the FA scrapped the traditional handshake ahead of kick-off after it became apparent that the QPR players would snub Terry in support of Ferdinand.

Sack Vanderlei Luxemburgo or part ways with Ronaldinho? That was the choice Flamengo president Patricia Amorim had to make yesterday as she picked the star player over the 59 year old tactician.

It is not quite certain why Luxemburgo was sacked, however, many believe that his icy relationship with Ronaldinho was a major factor that led to his dismissal.

Freestyle in Rio

If my imagination could expand just a little bit more, then this video is everything I would expect from a Brazilian freestyle futebol video. Beautiful Brazilian scenery and skills filled with high swank to spare. There are incomprehensible skills that simply give off an abstract aura of athleticism.

1. Poor refereeing – the gift that keeps on giving.

Those that have been watching long enough will argue if Kompany's tackle was really worth the red card. A few years ago, it would have been a brilliant tackle but now considered a foul, but honestly to fans on both sides, was it really worth a red card?

And PSG are interested in the Brazilian De Rossi, Roma's true rival is Mancini Vazquez to Palermo, he.

Federico Macheda's path with Manchester United's first team doesn't seem to cross again as after experiencing a six month loan to Sampdoria last season, the Italian is walking in a pretty similar road again in this second part of the season.

After tasting a rather bitter Serie A experience, this time Macheda isn't moving that far as he is temporarily stayed with fellow premiership side, Queens Park Rangers, which the young striker believes could be the perfect spot for him.

Ecuadorians LDU Quito have managed to secure their place in another Copa Sudamericana final following their 1-0 second leg victory over Argentinians Vélez Sársfield on Tuesday evening.

The 2009 Sudamericana winners were already leading 2-0 from the first leg played in the Ecuadorian capital last week and it was first leg hero Hernan Barcos who made sure of Vélez's departure from the competition by scoring the only goal of last night's contest in the 48th minute.

The biggest mismanager at Chelsea isn't AVB... it's Roman

Why neither JT or Rio will start Euro 2012... and one may not go at all Why gloating at City could come back to haunt Napoli I do like it when this column provides you readers with mirth. Which is why, in August, I was chuffed to hear from Chelsea fans that I'd given them one of the best laughs since Jose Mourinho hid in the club's dirty laundry basket.

In honour of the local dialling code, it's already being called the 0161 6-1 and there's no denying that Manchester City's demolition of their local rivals at the Theatre Of Dreams will spark conversation after conversation in the weeks ahead.

In case you were planning on skipping off to the wonderful land of the World Cup in 2014 and were waiting on details to make some travel plans, FIFA's gone ahead and set in motion a few of the details, if we're a long, long way from knowing the names of the participants. Unless you're of the idea that FIFA's corrupt and someone somewhere knows, in which case.
