Good news. UEFA has finally decided to stop dragging its feet on racist abuse from the terraces. Yes, initially there were mutterings about how it was hard to tell whether a player was being racially abused: a banana thrown at a player could actually be to encourage him to take...

And so the England team has been announced, with a few surprises for those who love giving Roy Hodgson a kick up the Rs. Roy's clearly not worried by headline-writers and tweeters looking forward to "Woy at the Euwos" or bemoaning the exclusion from the squad of Nintendo Wii-O Ferdinand....

I've just seen the 'Second Racist Rant' (I've posted it here) and it's absolutely...

It was quite a day for fans of colour-based prejudice in football yesterday. First you had the draw for the next round of matches in the Alleged Racism Cup (John Terry will take on Patrice Evra, while Suarez is away to Anton Ferdinand). Then Sepp Blatter managed to horrify all...

There's no way round it. It looks certain that by the end of the day Sarkozy and Merkel will insist that Greece will have to leave Europe. A trillion dollar deal involving the IMF and the European bank will see Greece forcibly detached from the European mainland and towed out...
